    Why? You and your buddies are drunk in a strip club parking lot. A stranger enters your vehicle. He is very large. You do not know his intentions. Ask yourself how you'd react. Now ask yourself how you'd react if you were sketchy and prone to violence in the first place.

    Have you guys never read about people being shot for literally bumping into somebody on accident or stepping on their shoe? You can get killed out there over less than this.

    because there's plenty of gray area as in the time they spent in the strip club and whatever happened inside. No way is this as simple as accidently hopping in the wrong van and you deserve to get a bloody bottle beatdown. definitely more missing from this story that won't be publicly shared

    It's 7 am in a strip club the sketchy gangstas probably figured out by then the giant dudes in VIP were members of the Rockets.

    I think that's possible. I also think it's possible he just got into the wrong van with some sketchy violent dudes who handled themselves the way they handle themselves.

    That place is open 24 hours. It's possible the sketchy dudes in the van literally just arrived from elsewhere and had not yet even exited their vehicle.

    highly unlikely imo. but we likely will never hear the true entire story unless someone is connected to this incident in some way. Or itll be years down the road when they're retired when they openly talk about past incidents

    Man, I don't know why it's highly unlikely. I've tried to get into the wrong Prius at the grocery store! And I was totally sober in broad daylight!

    Not buying the sprinter van story. More likely he hopped in that van after exchanging words with someone in the club. I’ve seen these vans leaving clubs - you hop in one either you get out or you got women with you.

    I can tell by your words that Cullen isn't just a street name to you -- it's a way of life.

    It also said some words were exchanged. If it's 3 on one at some sketchy club might as well not try to start something.

    Where is the leadership on this team? These guys should not be going out to strip clubs, breaking covid protocols, and kPJ is not even 21 and technically shouldn't even be allowed in. Bad decision making all around. Does not give me much hope for the team.

    The goons at the club was sent by Riley for revenge; because Stone won the Olynyk / Dipo trade.
