    Lou supposedly threw shade at Butler for sitting out of the all-star game.

    What a classless MFer, he will have earned it with that ****. People aren't supposed to say anything but it is common knowledge that Jimmy was playing hurt and that is why he sat out the all-star game. Thibs claims another victim. He ran Jimmy in the ground and has most of the rest of the team. That is why they stay close the entire game and usually cannot close in the 4th.

    Lou was talking **** to Butler for sitting out the ASG, saying he could've had that spot. Clippers decided to tweet this right after Butler went down. It's a low move from a garbage organization.

    It’s pretty obvious that the injury to Butler was sustained when Nene came down on his leg. Initial movement was probably adrenaline and then he planted on the injured leg for the first time and crumbled realizing his ACL was snapped.

    Let me go on the record here: Calling Butler's injury "non-contact" is incorrect. His knee was injured by Nene's fall. He just didn't experience sharp pain until putting heavy weight on the knee.

    I know Money is important, but Capela has to know this is best place for him getting spoon-fed by Harden and CP3.

    Tilman said he would pay luxary tax if he has a winner.

    When are these guys going to learn to think before tweeting.

    What a game!! Kudos to MDA. He played 10 men & we were missing EGO & Hayward. 8 played 20 + minutes. Harden played the most with 34 minutes. I hope he can distribute minutes like this more often. 4th quarter D wins again.

    Yeah...and people were getting mad at the Rockets' social media dude for putting down a fictional horse--hell, he even got fired for it! This is waaaay worse, in my opinion

    Until they show in the playoffs, they are unproven. I get that angle. We have THE coach known for being a regular season only coach, we have Paul who is THE star to never make the Finals currently and we have Harden who ran out of gas in the playoffs last year. I understand why people want to see it in the playoffs first.

    Leaving the game very happy. Nice win to keep it rolling.

    Feel bad for Butler.
