Warriors Clippers altercation in the hallways after game 7

[JohnMax]

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2014/05/04/los-angeles-clippers-vs-golden-state-warriors-game-7-confrontation-chris-paul/8687285/


The Clippers took great exception to the way the Warriors had celebrated in this same setting after their Game 1 win and certainly weren't about to tone it down out of some sort of professional courtesy.

The incident came in two waves, with most of the Warriors in the hallway at one point along with several Clippers. The police were called to assist, though it's not believed any punches were thrown.

While all the details of the situation were not immediately clear, it's believed that Warriors big man Marreese Speights was the aggressor for the Warriors while point guard Chris Paul was allegedly the irritant for the Clippers - though maybe even in silence. As was described by the witnesses, Paul came along as the incident appeared to be dying down and his mere presence picked things up again.

He wasn't alone, though, as Matt Barnes and Glen Davis were also among the other Clippers players seen at the scene. The Warriors' Jermaine O'Neal, Stephen Curry and Steve Blake were also involved, with Golden State coaches - including head coach Mark Jackson - eventually coming out when the situation escalated.

"It's not really Blake Griffin; it's all Chris Paul for real," the former Memphis Grizzlies big man said as he sat near the loading dock. "Chris Paul starts all of that stuff. Before Chris Paul came here, the team was not like that."

Unclassy of Paul to do that.

Chris Paul instigating shit and playing the victim card.

What else is new.

[russwest0]

Least classy franchise in the leauge by far. This team battled you and took you all the way down to the wire in a game 7 and you're gonna celebrate like you won the championship and then taunt them after the game?

Pathetic shit.

Curry did the same thing at the end of the first half. Silly kid just forgot to turn up for the 2nd.

Kids these days.

Unnecessary

The man is right. Makes you wonder what type of player Blake would be without CP3's negative influence.

He is right. Before CP3 got there the Clippers just bent over and took it season after season. How dare they introduce some fight into their culture.

[KyleKong]

No surprise. Speights was the biggest shit talker in this series and the dirtiest player. Not that shocking he is a sore loser, pretty much sums up Oakland sports entirely.

What a loser.

CP3 is the biggest bitch in the league.

I might actually root for OKC to sweep them just to make that bitch cry.

It's not going to be a sweep but OKC in 5 or 6.

Do you actually think you can beat OKC ?

You barely beat Warriors without Bogut and that was with homecourt advantage and some fishy calls (CP3's foul on Curry's attempted game winner for example).

Well there are other ways you know.. it's not MMA after all. Had they won the game they'd all be dancing and carrying on too.

It's their own fault they let CP3 get under their skin. Win the series, that will shut him up better than anything physical.

That article sounds like bullshit.

[chocolatethunder]

That article sounds like bullshit.
I dunno if the article is bullshit but other sportswriters were tweeting about the incident after it supposedly happened.

Paul honestly is a bitch. I don't care that the Clippers won I'm not a fan of either team. It was a great series so I'm happy. Paul is dirty and he's fake and always has been. He really ruins his play with all the dirty shit and the flopping. He's so insincere it just makes me ill. Going back to college when he punched Juilus Hodge in the nuts you could just tell he was no good. He's just a little prick and then gets clowned by Pau and gets all upset saying he's "a man". Dude is weak.

[Darius]

The article didn't say Paul did anything then the writer takes an out of context quote from Speights (fake tough guy extraordinaire) from Game 2 and all the haters are crying... ISH :oldlol:

[andgar923]

bunch of soft posters we have here.

[Darius]

Lmao read some more on this "fight": it was Curry and Steve Blake picking on some ball boys talking sh:t. :oldlol: how soft can you be??

Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Steve Blake were the first to dart from the locker room and confronted some Clippers ball boys in the hallway between both locker rooms, a source said.

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Shut the fck up shady!

[sd3035]

The man is right. Makes you wonder what type of player Blake would be without CP3's negative influence.

We got to see that when the pathetic little flopping bltch c3po was injured. Blake was 2nd best in the league, after Durant

[toooo]

Cp3 living rent free

[dazzer87]

suspend him
How much help do you guys need???????? :facepalm

[Inferno]

As the Warriors had to swallow the loss and saw their season come to an end, there was loud celebrating in the hallway not far from where they stewed and perhaps some choice words from sources unknown that sparked their rage. Then, one person said, a loud remark was made several times into the Warriors locker room about how quiet it was inside and that prompted several Warriors players and coaches to come out. The Warriors, who found only Clippers ballboys when they first left their locker room, were under the impression that it came from a Clippers assistant coach.

Let's go OKC :facepalm

Jesus. Can't they show some fcuking class :mad:

[TheCalmInsanity]

And break his elbow and be out for all next season

Too soon? Worth making shady cry, apologies to the real warriors fans

[TheCalmInsanity]

Jesus. Can't they show some fcuking class :mad:

You're a good poster bro. So you'll understand context.

During the season, Blake Griffin missed a shot off the side of the backboard (from the corner). The whole Warriors bench jumped up and down, pointing at him, laughing, and dancing. A few weeks later when the Clippers beat them, Mark Jackson came out and said something along the lines of "The Clippers bench shouldn't celebrate, that's just bad mannered to do that in the middle of a game"

In the playoffs, it was said that the Warriors celebrated hard after winning game 1. Which I'm fine with, you are never "not allowed" to celebrate. Keep your team morale up. I never called the Warriors out on it. But they did the same thing after GAME 1. Now that the Clippers won a CRAZY, AMAZING series, game 7, comeback victory... Against a great team that probably should have beat them (from the way they were playing), you think they're not allowed to celebrate?

I guarantee you if the Warriors won, and the Clippers players were butthurt about the Warriors celebrating, these Warriors fans would be defending the Warriors players.

There's a time to be a fan and defend your team and root for them, and there's a time to just not say anything at all. If I read this article, no matter if the Warriors or the Clippers had won, I wouldn't have said anything. It's a game 7 loss, OBVIOUSLY the emotions are going to run high. And it's the worst- because while the Clippers are on a crazy good high emotion, the Warriors are on their crazy bad wave of emotions. Those two combining make a bad mix for any form of interaction between the two teams.

*** Reads article in the OP, which doesn't seem to prove anything ***

*** Scrolls down to see the first 5 or so comments bashing Chris Paul for starting this fight, as if these posters were there themselves and saw it ***




What in the fukk. :confusedshrug:

[bdreason]

Clippers were respectful after the game. Series is over, who cares about this BS.

[oh the horror]

Clippers were respectful after the game. Series is over, who cares about this BS.



Basically this. Both teams have temperamental players. It is what it is.

[Tmuston Beltics]

how the fck?

its a rewind

[beastmode]

The article I read said curry and Blake came out of the locker room and confronted the ball boys... Wtf? Then everyone else got involved
