    good to see Brown will be ok

    u can’t control what these guys do, but I don’t like KPJr being there...I don’t trust this dude off the court

    at least this altercation involved him protecting a teammate and him not being the one directly involved in some fckery

    idk the laws there...
    I've lived various places... Detroit, LA, Hou, Vegas... and ive seen strip clubs where it was 18 - where no alcohol is served (but you can bring your own...), Some clubs could serve beer but not hard liquor, seen 18 where its just topless...
    so idk...

    My naive warped thinking of our Rockets players is like Battier in hotel rooms; watching dvd footage of Rocket's next opponents.

    Studying opponent players' tendencies. :p. Because ya know our defense is among the worst in the league.

    Think sometimes clutch fans care more about team's success than the players.

    ---
    Goes without saying that Sterling don't deserve what happened to him. Wish him a speedy recovery; it's one of those things of knowing your surroundings and putting yourself in certain situations. The people he argued with... alcohol involved...etc arguments flaring... at that club, at that time of night... not leaving early when that first group of Rocket's left. All choices.

    Or ya know stayed in the hotel and not violate nba protocols; why risk it. Danuel House missed the bubble Lakers series; these new Rockets don't learn.

    This is a classic 'there is more to this story' (than we've been told).

    Could’ve been worst. Dude hopped in another groups Mercedes Benz sprinter at a strip club. Most likely some shot callers or high rollers. Basically some “real” dudes which is why he probably don’t want to talk to the police.

    I bet the fight was over drugs. Who gets that kind of beatdown for getting in the wrong sprinter van?

    Plus he's been victim of police abuse a few years back, completely understandable to want to keep them completely out of the situation.

    Some strip clubs are 18+. This one, however, does appear to be 21+.

    I feel like you haven't been to many shady places in your life. I'll put it this way. If a large man entered your home would you automatically assume "Oh he just entered accidentally" or would you go to defend yourself and ask questions later?

    Now multiply your reaction times sketchy ass dudes from the streets.

    He hopped in some gangstas vehicle and at that time in the morning everybody is either drunk or high so judgement is impaired and sense/emotions are heightened

    Y’all gotta get out more

    John Lucas ain't helping this team at all.

    Keith Jones, Stephen Silas all should be at the Unemployment line.

    that means pretty much little to nothing. This isn't the entire story at all and nothing more than the little G version for obvious reasons. Oh I just happen to hop in the wrong van and then suddenly that deserves a complete beat down with bottles and all. nah some kind of drama started well before that which is obviously not mentioned
