We all know that Bobby Portis is an intense player, but there's just something about Robin Lopez going batshit crazy that makes him seem scarier than crazy eyes. That was on full display Monday night, when Lopez had to be held back from a referee after getting ejected and then walking back to the locker room the center grabbed a chair and threw it down a hallway.
It was a pretty good night for the tank, as the Chicago Bulls lost to the Sacramento Kings 104-98, and losing Lopez in the second quarter certainly played a factor. At the time of his ejection, the Bulls had a 43-27 lead. Eventually, the Bulls blew a 21-point lead after Lopez was tossed out of the game.
To say Lopez went nuts would be an understatement. Take a look for yourself, as the big man wasn't happy about not getting a few calls and others going against him.
You know it's bad when Portis is the level-headed one. However, Lopez wasn't done.Robin Lopez was HEATED 😳 pic.twitter.com/tBPInYovML

Hey, it could have been worse. I still remember when Cubs pitcher Kyle Farnsworth injured himself by kicking an electric fan at Wrigley Field. We're getting closer to the trade deadline and Lopez's name has been tossed around in trade discussions. So, good thing the chair took all of the punishment.
Lopez isn't a flashy player, but you have to respect how he carries himself. Just a great pro all around, who obviously can turn on the intensity when he's on the court.
There must be something in the air in Sacramento that make Bulls' centers go insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urfdwK-IC6M
