    Matt Barnes on Austin Rivers:

    “He talks a lot of trash and doesn’t really back it up. I think people are probably tired of that.

    …. He’s just very arrogant. You know, I know him personally, and at the beginning it kind of took a little bit to get used to. And as a teammate, you just kind of accept him for who he is and have his back as a teammate.

    Hearing guys talk around the league and seeing guys that had a problem with him while I was playing with him, I could see why. He carries himself like he’s a 10-time All-Star, and he’s not that. That kind of arrogance rubs people the wrong way.”

    it's Glory Days out in California. If you play for a California team, you can get away with whatever the **** you want.

    I just want to know PJ Tucker was during all of this. I really thought he was our enforcer.

    Rockets need to handle this on the court next time. Just gut check Blake, take out his knees, kick him in the back. I don’t care. Just stomp on him when he’s down too. Then just lock down Rivers the whole game instead of that p***y defense which got him 36 at our place! Rockets got embarrassed twice and with that off the court **** nothing will change. Prove on the court you learned and remember!

    NBA.com has it " Harden and Paul escaped punishment" lol no mention of blake griffin at all like he wasn't even playing when everybody knows that he's the one that hit Dantoni, Spiked the ball off of Gordon, talked trash to Ariza, CP3 and GG, annnnnnnnd got ejected.

    Fines or no fines, it's bad image for everyone involved.

    Griffin was the main guy that instigated everything and all i'm saying is its kinda funny how the headlines doesn't even mention his name doing all of the above while Harden wasn't even playing or trash talking during the game.

    Austin, Griffin, Ariza and prolly Green were all too emotional for my taste.

    so ariza should just have stood down after rivers mouthed about his wife?

    or harden & ariza should have let Ariza walk into the clips locker room by himself?
