    So much for Harden being back next game. There will likely be multiple suspensions sent out for Ariza, Harden, Green and CP3.

    Notice how EG and Ryan never gets involved in these sort of things?

    LOL. Ariza going to get his Blood gang to take out Austin River and Blake

    "

    LOS ANGELES -- Houston's James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green pushed into the LA Clippers' locker room Monday night looking to confront Austin Rivers after the Rockets' 113-102 loss, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

    Security escorted the Rockets players out before anything turned physical, the sources said.

    Rockets players were clamoring for Blake Griffin too, league sources said. Chris Paul also entered with other Rockers players through a backstory that connects team dressing rooms.

    Yea, we still don't have a Draymond. Only tough guy we have are short and skinny in Ariza and CP3.

    Tucker should be the Draymond thug, but he soft like Ryno

    Not really. Sure Lou Will is killing it now but last year he didn't really play well for us, he had lots of chances and just didn't do anything apart from a good gane here and there.

    He is also making 7M which while not a huge amount is vital for this team as we need all the capspace we can get. No regrets over trading Lou Will for Chris freaking Paul

    Look at us. We are so silly and if cared this much on the court we would have won the winnable game.

    Side note => Capela going to the front door was the first play called this season.

    I think most people missed it... the reason D'antoni was yelling and cussing at Griffin was because Griffin gave D'antoni a little elbow as he ran by him, just before he got the ball and scored the and 1.

    D'antoni was yelling at the refs about the non call for the goal tending... and Blake was pointing at D'antoni for the refs to give him a tech or something, then Blake ran by D'antoni and gave him a slight elbow. You can easily tell because D'antoni immediately shifts and starts yelling at Griffin and the refs.

    That's part of what the Rockets players were so mad about. That's totally unprofessional on Griffin's part, and that's practically taboo to be that disrespectful to another teams coach. That, plus the fact that they felt like the Clippers were acting out some sort of vendetta against CP3 and giving cheap shots, and trash talking all game.

    I'm fine with them standing up for their coach and for each other... but the bottom line is that they got seriously outplayed, out toughed, and out hustled. Rockets still have a ways to go, and they need to get much better all around, if they hope to stand a chance come playoff time.

    Rockets really need to get something on the offensive end from Tucker and LMAM from the bench. 7 points combined and no made 3pt FGs won't cut it.

    16 free throw attempts as a whole team? That's where Harden's really missed. No easy points.

    Green finally had one of those clunker days. 1-8 from downtown.

    All that said, friendly reminder that the Rockets are undefeated when Harden, CP3, and Capela are all in the starting lineup.

    Real fans feel lots of ways, but believers don't say stuff like "clips > rockets". Non-believers say that stuff. You know what Rudy says to Non-believers?
