So you would cry to ref, UNDERSTOOD. But you are wrong my friend, Ingram deserves a tech for the shove, but CP started the fight.

Spitting on someone is the same as a strike.
And it's confirmed, Rondo did spit on him. They got it on slo mo, zoomed in and all. LOL
Matter of fact, CP handled that better than I would have. I would have just punch him in the mouth. No finger in the face crap.

this fight is what you call, one of those good problems lol...
Yeah, just seen that close up shot with the good angle. It's kind of hard to say whether the spitting was intentional or not, but there's clearly some spit. Sometimes you're just talking and a little bit of spit kind of occurs accidentally, but it usually doesn't spray out like that. Can't blame CP3 for feeling disrespected, and since 90% of people have incredibly fragile egos, I understand him swinging.
So the Rockets lose CP3 for: Clippers and Jazz
and Lakers lose
Rajon Rondo: Spurs, Suns, Nuggets
Ingram: Spurs, Suns, Nuggets, Spurs again.
Not exactly great games for us. Rockets should be able to beat Clippers without CP3, although the Jazz will annihilate them. Lakers will lose, but that gives victories to Spurs and Nuggets that we don't really want them to have either.
Back in my junior high days we would have called it "gleaking." You can totally do that from underneath your mouth guard. And yes, it warrants getting jabbed in the face.
The Lakers ******** show is the second most entertaining story line of the first week of the season behind the Pelicans killing it. I had LA on the bubble but now I have them right out. I fully expect Luke Walton to lose his job this season.
