Rockets: vs Lakers Brawl Tonight

[Pelicans78]

Not sure why teams just don’t force the ball out of Harden’s hand and make someone else beat them like the Pelicans did. The Rockets have no one else who can consistently dominate.

[baseline bum]

made (though smart but still pussy) is also when you got great handles a jumper and great skill but would rather flail like a flaming got

You mean like this?

[LkrFan]

Just when you think Chris Paul couldn't get any more made

He literally flopped Rondo spitting on him just so he could aggravate him

Glad BI socked him, worth every single game of his suspension.

I believe Melo actually spit on CP0. If I'm right, he should be suspended too:

Melo is a ringless liar. If Rondo did spit on him, it would be on camera. It's not because Rondo didn't spit on him. SMH

[LkrFan]

Ingram started all this sh*t by shoving Harden. Paul started the fight with Rondo by shoving his finger in his eye. Ingram had no business coming in for a sucker punch. Lakers players are mentally weak and don't have the toughness to contend for a championship on the big stage, they are used to losing. The Lakers have turned into the Los Angeles Cavs going to be lucky to get that 7th or 8th spot at this point. LeBron is realizing how tough the West really is I bet. Ingram is going to get the longest suspension. Rondo had a right to throw a punch if a guy shoves his finger in your eye.

Anyway it looks like Kobe's legacy is safe in Los Angeles (LeBron would be lucky to even sniff a Finals at this point) unless Lakers can swing Kawhi and Davis.

Actually Harden started it by all the superstar calls he gets. He flops, flails, etc, gets calls, and then start talking smack to Ingram about it? I would have pushed him too.

He shot 15 freebies vs the Lakers team getting only 18 AT HOME. He knows he gets away with stuff. He hasn't changed since this bout with Artest:

So it's not just Ingram that don't like Harden's antics. I'm sure there are 100s of NBA players that want a piece of him.

The refs and the NBA enabled him to get away with all the crap he gets away with. Surprised there's not more dust ups with Harden an CP0. Both are skilled but cheat the game with their antics.

[Harry Callahan]

I don't like Harden's game AT ALL. I would want to send a message to him. Frankly, is there a decent human being on either roster? If I was a fan of either team (I'm not) - I would have a hard time with that.

BTW, that wasn't a REAL fight. IF the Rockets actually had an enforcer, a Kermit Washington type response on LeBron would be a real earth shaker. Jeannie would not know who to offer herself up to going forward.

Actually if LeBron and Harden could punch each other simultaneously in that fashion, the world would be a better place.

Never thought I would agree with this poster. However, he is correct here. BTW, Artest was doing good work there.

[Clipper Nation]

Maybe CP0 should stop being a flopping, whining if he doesn't want to get disrespected by opposing players. Just saying.

[Kyle_Kuzma]

notice how shaq or anyone else didnt bother to break it up? fck kirby

break up a fight in 2 seconds? are you watching matrix?

[Kyle_Kuzma]

Nope..

made cpflop got exposed

You calling somebody a whining is pure gold.

[Killakobe81]

You are overreacting emotionally. What Ingram did was made and I say this as someone who hates Harden. Trust me I know straight up the type Harden is just from seeing the Spurs play him in a playoff series. I will never forget him trying to start with Patty back in '16 and then trying to act tough with Dedmon. I felt in both of those scenarios he deserved to get his face bashed. Had he pulled the same on Ingram that he did to Mills and Dedmon then I'm all for Ingram going all in on him. In this scenario Ingram overreacted to Harden's flopping. You can't be hypocritical about Harden's flopping since the Lakers had one of the greatest floppers of all time in Dfish.

I will say this I would have reacted the same way Rondo did when he retaliated against Chris for poking out his eye. I felt Rondo was justified in doing what he did. If the story about the spit is true then Rondo deserved to get his eye poked out but I'm going to wait to see the league confirm if it is true.

Ingram should have never punched Paul... Shoving Harden earns him what a technical? But still sends a message Im not excusing him for a suspension but I do applaud the shove besides people are acting like it was just this there was show boating and talking all over... That punch was over the line... The shove? players shove all the time and it's no big deal from back? idgaf sometimes you just need to send a message... Punching us dumb though but funny but also hurts the team. That being said maybe this galavanizes the team dumb stuff overall by Ingram but he also showed he is not soft there is dome value in that even in this softas modern nba...
BTW luke is right if refs eject ennis (and also ref Harden properly.. ) maybe doesnt go sideways

[djohn2oo8]

Rondo’s jaw got exposed and started bleeding lol

Shoving from the back is a move. And then he left with police presence

[Killakobe81]

That was Lakers brass call and the right move by the front office preety sure he did not ask for it don't be obtuse...

The Rockets already left the building

[Killakobe81]

You mean like this?

That is not even the same I'm taking about plsy style but Gino was a flopper like Fish and vlade if you wanna go there, Bum

[RsxPiimp]

Exactly

Nope started way before and a shove only gets a tech... Paul/Rondo escalated it to i blows with their beef which both Paul and Jalen claims been brewing for years and Pierce played with both guys.

thinking anyone is afraid of a midget and perennial flopper

BTW FOR THE RECORD... JUST LIKE I SAID LAST year when I defended Harden... This is more on refs than him. He is a smart kid doing ng what he is allowed, it's a pussy but effective style.. I would only be a hypocrite if I didn't blame the refs... But again like I also said last year it would piss me off still (like the phantom call on Hart last year) thst I would wanna punch him. Obviously you shouldn't but reason why I don't mind the shove I actually understand how he feels... Any of you guys that hoop, really hoop are full of if you telling me tat that if guys played like Harden and eve Paul to a lessor extent that you wouldn't wanna shove them too

[Clipper Nation]

Nope..

This reminds me of the locker room incident last year when CP0 lied and threw Ariza under the bus. It's embarrassing that this guy is the president of the players' union. Then again, considering how many players these days are coddled divas, I guess it makes perfect sense that they'd want CP0 to represent them.

[Koolaid_Man]

King Kool is in the building for this one. A couple of take-aways:

The Rockets have a nothing but ringless gots on their team from the head coach on down.
FACT: James Harden is the biggest pussy the league has ever produced! He simply will not fight back. You could face him on live TV and that wouldn't say a word. Artest slapped him, Brandon shoved that like he was a whole and Matt Barnes told his mama to her face to SUCK HIS and this pussy ass did nothing about any of it.

Melo was like :Oh Not Again" was looking around for Nate Robinson..lmao

CP0 is dirty lying sucking midget. There was no spit. I don't care who you are if a spits in your face your first reaction is to immediately start throwing punches not casually point a finger in his face and wait for him to molly whop your ass. Rondo won that that. Those close ups that DJohn is posting didn't connect. They lightly grazed Rondo that's why they almost look photo-shopped. He didn't connect solidly. Meanwhile Rondo connected with a nice KFC Drumstick to the cheek-bone and Brandon finished him off with a solid very impressive hard right to face right in front of his gay lover LeBozo.

Brandon Ingram showed me he has heart. He punked the outta Jamicia Harden pushed that around like a hoe. Then cold ed the out of CP0. I am a soild BI fan for sure after last night. He's a real ride or die ...He gets down for his and his respect and skill level is about to increase. Much love to that youngsta

Lastly it brings me to Lebozo. I just can't do it. I can't cheer for this coward. He sat there watching while his homeboy CP0 squared up with his teammate and thank the lord that Rondo is a 2Pac type of and brought that smoke to his ass right in front of Lebozo. I'm not saying Lebozo should have swung on CP0 but no way was he supposed to be extra and walk off the court with his arms around CP0's shoulders comforting that ringless got. What a disgrace. Lebozo is definitely not a throwback player. When Tammy s retired he was the last semi throwback player we'll see.

Go Curry and Durant..My s

CP3 has a history of being a liar. I remember him lying when he was college about not punching Julius Hodge in the . He was stupid enough not to realize that cameras and instant replay showed him intentionally hitting Hodge in the nuts. Once he could not lie his way out of that situation CP3 then said he hit Hodge because Hodge was taunting him about his grandpa being dead. It was also confirmed that was a straight up lie. CP3 suffers from a lot of assness.

Anyways Kool it has to be tough on you that Lebron is a Laker. If the Lakers succeed and win a le then Lebron gets all the credit which in return harms the legacy of your god Kobe.

Kool!!!
DON'T AGREE with everything but agree 100% on Ingram and Rondo... And yes this dude shoves, flops fouls but expects every call and the that pisses me off he nice enough like Gino where he don't need to flop, Fisher was clutch and tough but just a slightly above average player he needed to flop Harden does not... Again it's smart but bull all the same...
