    Nobody is investigating the missed goal tending call that ignited the already raw emotions? That call pretty much ended the game, giving the Clippers an 11 points rather than 6 points lead. Thus garbage time ensured.

    You can’t let an opposing player like Blake punk your coach. Clutch pointed out how far Doc was on the court
    while Blake was crying about D’Antoni being near the edge.....then he proceeded to “chicken wing” him in chest

    This will bring the team closer actually. Gerald “4-fingers” gets major ups by his current coplayers. Has their backs.

    If DJ was the enforc3r then maybe he doesn't want to force trade to Rockets. And where is the media outrage for Griffin purposefully striking a coach, man half his size and twice his age???

    Swept under the rug. I've heard various talking heads(TV & radio) use words like "allegedly", "supposedly", may or may not have hit/elbowed D'Antoni.

    Uhhh, I believe video is out there? Don't stick your head in the sand. A player struck a coach & went out of his way to do so.

    Bad calls happen.

    hitting d'antoni and the first game foul out are illegal, absolutely illegal. tillman needs to use his powers here. im okay with bad calls, again, they go all over the place. but illegal plays? time to take out the hammer, tillman, and really go after adam silver.

    I know Matt Barnes got suspended for trying to go into the Bucks locker room one time. But it's Matt Barnes, hopefully we don't get in any serious trouble.

    We got to be diplomatic in these situations. I'm on our side, but don't go rush into the locker room trying to brawl. File a private complaint with the league office via Fertita.

    If the gonna suspend us that’s fine they should know better. But the league has to suspend and fine Blake and maybe Austin.

    Good thing if our guys get suspended is Harden and cp3 get some rest. Bad that we will prob lose, probably? for sure lol

    If you're on the sideline wearing a suit, your injured a** shouldn't be up making noise with players on the court. Especially if daddy is the coach

    And when you watch the out of bounds play Griffin looks right at Egos back and hits him hard as hell. He didn’t even try to hit him low

    I still am in shock even though I posted in this thread earlier.

    I know the loss sucks and the suspensions may suck - but this is honestly the funniest thing that has ever happened to the Rockets since a bat flew into Moochie Norris' hair.

    Sources: League investigators are focusing on this recent two-way pick up from the Minas Tirith Miners in the G-League as a possible instigator:

    At long last folks, seems like things are really heating up.

    I don't disagree with you about legality. But it remains the fact that poor officiating is often a catalyst of players taking out their frustration with violent tempers.

    There are bad calls and there are BAD calls. The goal tend non-call was on the same level as the stepping out of bound right in front of the official. Even the commentators said that it was obvious even in real time, no need to replay in slow motion to see it.

    That puts Rivers outside of just trash talking and definitely into suspension territory.
