Let me give you some advice. I ain't worth it. You may think it's worth it at the time, but it's not. Learn to walk away from idiots. And, don't become an idiot yourself. When physical confrontations occur, bad things can happen. People can get hurt. People can get arrested. People can go to jail. It ain't worth it.
What you're forgetting is that this is Trevor Ariza that reacted this way. If this were Matt Barnes, DeMarcus Cousins, Draymond Green, etc. then yea I can see how your argument can be justified but it was Ariza. The dude is universally liked by everyone in the league and for him to react in this manner means that something DID happen and/or something WAS said. What long term consequences are you speaking of? Ariza, from all reports, was accompanied by security and the Dallas PD was on hand as they usually are post game. Nothing malicious was going to come out of that meeting because 1. of the parties I just said that were there with Ariza and Co. and 2. Ariza, Harden, Bev, and Gordon (the 4 best players we have on the team) aren't stupid enough to get into any physical altercation. Maybe we need to lessen the criticism of what Ariza, Harden, Bev and Gordon did and look at Ariza's history (or lack thereof) of wanting to go to another team's locker room post game and compound that with the fact that the Mavs had to resort to playing a physical game because that was the only way THEY THOUGHT they were going to keep up.
So you would sit back as someone calls your wife a "such and such" and your children worthless "so and so's", and be like:
I missed the part of the game where powell fouled anderson hard. I haven't been able to find it on youtube. Does anyone have a link?
LOL at so called Rockets fans be like yeah just the opposing team rough up the Rockets players and curse at their families...
How can you -- the upcat around here -- be friends with an updog We want KingCheetah v Alpha Dawg But I guess your kids play together? 'This is so wrong and the cuteness is too much for the Internet
I don't know who that white guy is. He can't deduce why Mavs is in the wrong? 1. Mavs have nothing to lose. Whether all of their players get freaking ejected or suspended, it doesn't matter 'cause they're heading nowhere but the lottery. 2. Rockets are contending right now. Ejections and suspensions will cost them. 3. It's obvious that Mejri is lying when he said he didn't do anything. You pissed off Ariza and basically the whole team and you didn't do or say anything?! BS! 4. Ariza has been level-headed the past few years. The only incident where I remember Ariza acted classless was eons ago, during his first stint with the Rockets where he tried to elbow someone because he stole the ball from him, IIRC. 5. I don't recall any history about Harden being involved in something similar like this.
By uneducated proles. It is still used in modern English. Here's an example: Dude1: "Hey dude, where's the mustard?" Dude2: "Dude, on the upmost left shelf of the pantry, guy."
Unless it's the most outstanding left shelf out of all the left shelves in the pantry. Then it's the utmost left shelf of the pantry, guy.
