    Nah.

    Not even a court of law needs unquestionable evidence to convict.
    In this case, if they have legit reason to believe he was in violation that is more than enough.

    But if they don't then the Rockets should make a fuss about this.

    This isn't a court of law, it's a business. The league has no right to suspend a player based on suspicion.

    I guess you didn't understand those words.

    Carry on.

    The Rockets are quite because they know he's guilty. Why else what they allow it? If it was PURE speculation, they would boycott the series. Something happened and they're trying to ensure no one's infected IMO. I'm sure after we're eliminated the truth will come out (House got caught) I really hope I'm wrong. Time will tell

    I suspect that's the case.

    I have no idea why the woman would implicate Tyson Chandler and then he was free to go.....

    Personal feelings aside, it's literally their job to be impartial when they are off court and in their capacities.

    Maybe Chandler was just briefly in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe he shared an elevator with this woman for 30 seconds as she was sneaking in to see House for a late night rendezvous or afternoon delight. That kinda thing.

    Isn't that solely the reason House can be suspended? If it was a court of law, there'd need to be actual proof. Here, a business can just do whatever (within reason) to its employees without needing proof.

    True. My point was that they should NOT have that right, although as a business they can obviously do pretty much whatever they want as long as it's not illegal (and even then...).

    They should decide fast if he is going to play or get him outside the bubble where he can move freely.

    Free this dude.

    It's not even about the playoffs no more, locking him up isn't the way to go.

    Players leave the bubble all the time, attending funerals or picking up food at gentleman clubs.

    Yeah, there is just that part of me that doesn’t want to believe it’s rigged. Far too many things have happened to tell me otherwise. Very disappointing.

    I grew up playing all the major sports and even into my adult life. I love these sports and it’s so disappointing that they take the purity of playing out of it.

    This is not a Sherlock Holmes case. What more investigations do they need to know the facts?

    We should be compensated a first round pick or two if we were wronged.

    Mike is a coward.

    No way would Phil Jackson or Popovich be quiet about this.

    Also, if the Rockets would smart, none of them would not step out on the court due to safety reasons.

    Two can play the safety game.
