    Trevor Ariza is a better version of Pippen actually, the Rockets version of Pippen.

    He is no version of the Bulls one.

    Excuse me, if you are trying to stop someone from hanging on your jersey, you SLAP away the arm. You don't throw a fist at the wrist. Sorry, but Dirt bag, ummm Draymond Green was intentionally trying to hurt Harden's wrist.

    Only a warriors fan would defend that bullsh!t
    I hate how people suck this prick off and the warriors off as if they can do no wrong and justify the sh!tty dirty crap they do.

    At least we know his wrist can take a punch. What a dirtbag.

    To be completely honest, I'm curious as to why an edge of the bench player hasn't put their hand up to lay him out - not just from Houston - but any team.

    Of course there's going to be a suspension coming afterwards. How much attention is going to be shone on Draymond though considering all the interviews with the suspended player will be discussing how Draymond deserves it after all his dirty plays which are quickly racking up with only the one penalty - and let's be real there was only a penalty because it was in the spotlight due to the playoffs.

    If the league knows trouble is brewing due to Draymond's actions they're obviously going to pull his BS up at the first instance to avoid any further altercations.

    Someone needs to spend some time with the New South Wales Origin camp this year.

    Queensland (the maroons) are notoriously dirty and always get away with it. Just two weeks ago one of their staple players from the past decade was caught pulling at the finger of a guy who fractured it the week before.

    This swinging forearm by New South Wales in the tackle was welcomed by every single rugby league fan who doesn't reside in Queensland.

    This is actually the fight which changed the rules in Rugby League to make any punch an automatic sin bin.

    EDIT: Well I thought I embedded it correctly but obviously not.

    Nah, he just needs to catch a couple of "accidental" elbows to the face, Mutombo-style.

    Every game.

    I don't disagree.

    SOMETHING needs to happen to him.

    I hate how soft the game has become. Where barely anyone seemingly has pride.

    Where a P.O.S like Draymond gets to reign supreme.

    Love him on the team, hate him he isn't Rockets. Just seeing Harden's reaction, either he can take a lot of pain, or just it is part of the game. I wished Harden would be more fiery instead of being passive in those type of cheap-shots.

    Yes, all injuries are the same. The responsibilities of Harden and Beverley are the same. Really, there is no reason Harden and Beverly shouldn't be clones.

    Why not just have Bev take out Curry's knee? Seems that you can get away with attacking star players and trying to injure them so we should see if the league does anything. If not, maybe that's the green light to take out Curry.

    Concerning the Draymond Green kick to Harden's head earlier this season and now admitted punch to Harden's hand...... don't be at all shocked if Beverley goes at Curry if we meet them in the playoffs.

    I would love Green on the Rockets, but the Warriors have a lot more to lose than the Rockets. If Beverley or Nene injures Curry for any reasonable length of time they likely don't win the title.

    It is a sore wrist, does that stop him from playing defense?

    The wrist is obviously sore, but he is not exactly hustling out there.

    If he is sick or needs rest, the team needs to force the issue, if he is out there, he needs to play hard.

    I honestly expecting someone to test out that wrist. Even if it was a punch.

    He did play hard and his defense wasn't the issue. The Rockets defense overall wasn't the problem. The Rockets offense sputtered because their best player is playing hurt and their 3rd best player isn't playing.

    If you want to roast anyone for their defense it should be Capela or Gordon. Both of them struggled. Gordon shouldn't be starting and Capela has inflated stats.
