    They would have lost anyway the way they’re playing. The defense is beyond terrible right now.

    I’ve shared this once before, but on Ariza... He is a genuinely good dude. He showed up ( just because he wanted to bring joy) at a hospital where a twin sister of a good friend of mine was dying of cancer. He spent time talking to several patients. No cameras, no glory. He just cares.

    I’m not saying violence is the way to go nor was it last night. I just feel that when Ariza does something like this it’s to stand up for what is right. He’s not a tough guy for the sake of being tough.

    Again, i love Ariza on this team. b**** about his slumps all you want, but he’s the type of player you need and want on your team.

    Someone voted Capela into the 'All distraction team' on his Wikipedia page.

    The league knows it too. Y'all see the first time Blake hooked arms with ariza and gave him a shove he immediately realized who it was and tried to apologize. Dudes know he a real one

    Ariza couldn't care less about trying to be a tough guy. He's widely respected across the league. If he's upset about something there's more than likely a valid reason. He has no problem calling fake bluffs

    never said that and of course they shouldn't. the only thing i said, that you b****ed about like the fake tough ginger puss, was i said punish the refs first because they started this whole mess.

    Hopefully there won't be suspensions. Could just be fines. In fact I think that is likely.

    What is frustrating is the Rockets were bullied in the paint, the Clippers gloated and the Rockets got mad.

    How about not getting bullied in the paint and impose YOUR will DURING the game.

    As a side note, Twitter was absolute GOLD last night with Memes. Just amazing. I was laughing....but also felt slightly bad because people are essentially mocking the Rockets.

    Can't wait to get to the next game, GET A WIN, and move on from this drama.

    If we're going to risk a 5 game suspension for each player, Ariza should've at least thrown a punch.

    If only they were this pissed on the court instead of getting stomped by the g-league.

    So do we have the official story yet? Still mixed reports: most state some Rockets went into the locker room, others don’t. Which one is it?

    Watch ESPN First Take, they are mostly right. This looks bad for CP3 and he should’ve known better. And like SAS said: handle it on the court.

    Hopefully being a national TNT game on Thursday benefits us and they don’t want to suspend everyone because of fear of low TV ratings. Gotta take that into account.
