    Sounds like Ariza is gonna get the brunt of the punishment. He needs some rest anyway.

    Cool story, seems like the real deal.
    Skip Bayless is as credible as a blind gynecologist.

    Trev is a good guy, he just went nuts, blewing a fuse. One time thing hopefully.

    Fine Blake though.

    I knew a deaf gynecologist who was one helluva lip reader.

    This is all nothing, if the Rockets are so worried about being dissed on the basketball floor, then come and PLAY harder and respect the game - don't lose to a bunch of nobodies that are out hustling you.

    Sound and fury signifying nothing....either this team learns how to play hard night in and night out or it is the same old Rockets.

    I would welcome them getting NASTIER on the floor...

    Clearly this means it was Tarik Black with a Clint Capela president-style mask

    I'm Stein has confirmed the allegation that he's hearing strongly today - I was intimating it weakly all day yesterday via various channels, but this level of confirmation is what I call REPORTAGE A LA AWESOME.

    this really isn’t a big deal to me

    suspend Ariza for 1 game, fine some of our other players that were involved, and then move on

    It's pretty crazy how inaccurate a majority of these accounts have been. It went from CP3 fighting with Harden, to Ocean's 11 level infiltration, to Ariza talking to Blake in the hallway.

    Im good with that (needs some rest), but Griffin should get 1 game for his bs on MDA.

    Still want someone to beat the crap out of Austin Rivers... hoping it happens in Feb, but I'm sure Doc wont let him play.

    We may never know what’s true or false, but that little grin that Ariza has sure looks like a man that laid down some law:D

    This is only basketball, think about all the bad accounts in the news right after something goes down.

    I'm kindve curious if there were suspensions or fines, what would they be for? Did he actually make it into their locker room? Did anything actually happen?

    It sounds like a lot of nothing happened. If it was men being men, with no punches thrown and no boundaries actually broken, then I don't see what the big deal was.

    You don't have to wait till it "goes down." The media is just making up "news." In all my life, I have never seen the mainstream media flip out like this. They have lost all credibility as far as I am concerned. The "news" and "social media" have merged into a giant mental hospital.

    I agree although I have got to admit - the more I hear about what happened the funnier it gets. In my head I keep hearing the Benny Hill theme song along with Shaq and Barkley laughing their asses off in the background. What a cluster****!
