    Watching TNT, the entire league really doesn't respect the Rockets despite having one of the better records

    Hol' me back, hol' me back! Ain't nobody trying to fight. :rolleyes:

    ... The Rockets believed the Clippers were celebrating a 113-102 win in mid-January as if it were a playoff series.

    Ariza was engaging in simultaneous shouting matches near the home bench, one with Griffin and another with Rivers. Ariza was ejected, as was Griffin, who had already received a technical foul for trading expletives with D’Antoni after the bump. “He hit me,” D’Antoni said. “I didn’t appreciate it.”

    A hallway runs between the Clippers locker room and the visitors locker room, where players from opposing teams often see each other and catch up. According to a Rockets source, Ariza was waiting on Griffin, and when the game ended he charged from the hallway into the Clips locker room. When Rivers spotted Ariza near the entrance, according to the source, he said: “Let his b----- a-- come in.” Ariza then turned his attention to Rivers.

    ESPN reported that Ariza was flanked by three teammates—Harden, Paul and Gerald Green—but their purpose was unclear. “They were holding Trevor back,” the source said. Security was summoned and no punches were thrown, unless you count the jab Paul landed in his post-game interview, when he praised Williams and suggested the Clippers run their offense through the quick-trigger guard. He didn’t mention Griffin or the hallway. Meanwhile, Beverley tweeted: “It’s a different culture in LA. No more soft s--- here!!!!!”

    “We’re honoring Martin Luther King Day,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “We’re non-violent….Let’s put it like this: our team was in our locker room. That’s all I’ll say. I’ll let you do the rest of the investigation. I will say their entire team was not in their locker room. You’re going to have to figure it out from there.”

    The NBA will likely launch its own fact-finding mission Tuesday.

    February 28. Remember Goliad motherphuckers. Every day moving forward with these two cake ass ****** on that team is also a smash on sight day.

    I hope this just makes the ROX go back to super Saiyan - **** you pay me - leaders of the basketball world. Needed a wake-up call, got a little lax kicking everyone's head in each night.

    I have to admit I am a fan of foolishness like this and I love the fact that we showed a little fight off the court. But I'm concerned that we seem to get bullied on the court at times.

    Why would they go to their locker room. If they really wanted to hurt Austin and Blake, Harden can easily hire some dudes to take them out on the street. Just don't be caught.

    Austin rivers will end up really unhappy if he goes after ariza. He could probably beat up Harden, but ariza would mess him up

    Curry goes through shooting slumps now and then. Only shot 35 percent from three in November

    everyone has them
