An ugly scene developed after Houston's 123-107 victory over Dallas on Tuesday night when Rockets forward Trevor Ariza waited outside the Mavericks' locker room to confront center Salah Mejri.

According to a source, Mejri made a derogatory comment to Ariza about Ariza's wife and children between the third and fourth quarters.

Ariza became so upset that he exchanged words with Mejri, which prompted the referees to give Ariza a technical, his second of the game, leading to an ejection.

After the game, Ariza dressed and walked toward the Dallas locker room, accompanied by two security guards. As Ariza and several Houston teammates -- including Patrick Beverley, James Harden and Eric Gordon -- waited for Mejri, Dallas police officers already outside the locker room as part of their regular detail monitored the situation to make sure it did not escalate.


quote:

"I don't know what they were on tonight," Harden said. "That other team was tripping tonight. They were disrespectful, were unprofessional players and coaches. I don't know what was their problem, but I think that got us going. They wanted to throw a little cheap shot and just woke us up a little bit, and it was over from there."

TL;DR: Mav's attacked like bitches. Rockets beat that arse. Then try to met in the parking lot after.

Cuban's antics are starting to trickle down. We can call it trickle down petulance.

This game was nuts, seemed like every deal ball there was a technical. Could tell Ariza was pissed before he got bounced, didn't realize it was at Mejiri. Weird that he would take about Ariza's family.

So they are mad at one comment and had issues with the other teams actions.

Then:
Ariza gets ejected
Rocekts get multiple techs
They go over to the Mavs lockeroom in a pack to confront one guy
Beverly didnt play and decides to interrupt the Mavs coaches interview

Rockets and Mavs are both trash franchises. I would expect nothing less from them.

Beverley is a huge wannabe thug, part of the reason he was kicked out of Arkansas

EG strikes me as the kinda guy who will run after his buddy gets punched.

It was pretty obvious he was saying Jamie. And that video was filmed before that game ended.

Comprehension fail?

No one was interrupted. Beverly was not even in the press room. Carlisle talked shite all game, and his team played like the sore loser he always is. Bev said 9 words to him. He can handle it.

I am pumped at how tight knit this team is. It's a miracle after what we saw last year.

That's not what I heard at all either way he's got a history of being passive aggressive. With Pat you know where you stand.

Whatever use technicalities. But you cant complain about someone being "unprofessional" then be just as unprofessional in retaliation.

Ariza is such a fake tough guy. And you bring Harden and EG as backup
