Lakers vs Rockets fight the reaction: accusations, suspensions, etc.

LeBron James made his victorious home debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, drawing the Houston Rockets almost defending champions of the Western Conference. ESPN played this match on a Saturday night in prime time despite the fact that we were at the heart of college football: it's the size of the game.

The whole thing was overshadowed by two little guys and a skinny guy getting into a fight.

While the nerves narrowed at Lakers vs. Rockets, four minutes from a one-point match, Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo – both known to be irreproachable and enjoyable players – found themselves facing face and finished punching. Brandon Ingram has also joined the fray. The three men were eventually ejected and the Rockets finished well behind James Harden to win.

It now remains for the NBA to take additional disciplinary action. In the meantime, here are 12 thoughts on the fight, the judgment of Ingram, Team Banana Boat, and more.

1. It all started with one of two unforgivable sins

The Rockets claim that Rondo spit on the CP3 – you can see that Paul seems to be erasing something from his face at the start of the fight. Rondo was would have said categorically that he did not spitwhich, according to his account, would force CP3 to stick his finger in front of Rondo's spark.

Here's the deal: both are unforgivable in the NBA macho procedure, so it's paramount that Rondo spits. When he did, he turned off the light with one finger and two pieces of CP3. If it was not the case, the finger prick of CP3 was an unnecessary provocation that made us pass the point of no return.

Before we can really determine who is responsible for the incentive to trigger everything, we must see what is the definitive angle to determine if Rondo has to spit. The problem for Rajon is that it would be easy to prove that he did it, but impossible to prove that he did not!

2. My dashboard: Chris Paul wins 2-1

Look, violence is never the answer. But they are professionals. We must break this down.

Rondo gets a free kick at CP3 in the first moments.

But the CP3 comes back and wins two pieces on Rondo.

This is the final result of Chris Paul 2, Rajon Rondo 1. Give him the belt.

3. Brandon Ingram punched around P.J. Tucker

But another hero fired a punch: Brandon Ingram popped out of nowhere to punch in seemingly at Rondo, but certainly in the neighbourhood PJ Tucker restoring peace, which was a horrendously bad idea that fortunately did not prove much worse for Brandon Ingram, who would collapse as a model of the Globe Theater built from toothpicks on which an anvil fell actually connected with Tucker on purpose or an accident and drew his anger.

They must teach this at the Recruit Symposium. Before throwing a wild punch in a scrum, look around. P.J. Tucker present? Is there anything more than 0% chance that Tucker is stung, nudged or screwed by your first? Also think about the possibility that an earthquake will occur just when your haymaker causes Tucker to fall into your arm. Is there a chance that Tucker believes you had the intention to do it or hit it? If that's the case, do not swing. In fact, you'd better put your hands in your pockets and start whistling a song with a soothing melody, like "Sweet Home Alabama" or something from System of a Down.

4. Brandon Ingram is basically Dhalsim

Listen, we have to convince young Ingram that it was a terrible idea. That said … its reach is incredible!

5. What are you doing, Brandon Ingram ?!

Why did Ingram hit CP3? Camp Paul was wondering the same thing, mostly because both are Carolinians and CP3 apparently has some Ingram mentoring. Harrison Faigen, of Silver Screen and Roll, said the Lakers thought the Rockets were targeting Ingram during the match to get under the skin. Lance Stephenson told Faigen that he tried to restrain Ingram because he knew he was fed up.

Well, that's bad work, Lance. Very bad work.

Ingram definitely gets a suspension of 1 or 2 games. So useless. He was not even spit or ejaculated in the face!

6. Carmelo Anthony is so pissed off

7. LeBron had to buckle one of his best friends to separate him

A fun side plot is that LeBron had to complete his CP3 to end the fight. LeBron and CP3 are extremely good friends! What do you think LeBron told Paul while he was enveloping him? "The sun is getting very low, big guy."

8. This crash featured three of the four members of Team Banana Boat

All we need is Dwyane Wade, who may have beef at Rondo and probably a chance to succeed even if he was among the Lakers.

9. The crowd chanted the name of Rondo

The guy's career has completely bounced back after being thrown out of the playoff team in Dallas and getting a well-deserved suspension for letting out a hateful insult against an official in Sacramento. He was completely hated by everyone (with good reason) for a while. Now he is only loved by the people who are hitting him in the face.

10. Chris Paul fights like every time he's back in L.A.

Last year, CP3 was involved in a fight against former Clipper teammates, featuring secret tunnels and ambushes. This year, he just hit Rajon Rondo in STAPLES court on national live television. Chill, Chris!

11. CP3, Rondo and Ingram are permanently suspended

The NBA should announce suspensions Sunday because the Rockets have another match. The three main players get at least one match. If the league can confirm that Rondo spit at PC3, that's at least one more. Ingram could also have two games to be out of nowhere. CP3 will probably only have one, maybe two.

The Lakers are now 0-2, by the way. They can not really afford scratches in good health because of discipline.

12. A celebrity is also involved

It's Hollywood, after all. Anthony Kiedis, the singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was also involved.

Here is the official caption of the USA Today Sports photo:

Anthony Kiedis, singer of the band Red Hot Chili Pepper, is escorted from the public after shouting blasphemies at the custody of the Houston Rockets, Chris Paul (unshooted), while he was chased out of the fourth game against the Lakers of Los Angeles at the Staples Center.

Who among us was not escorted after profaning blasphemies against Chris Paul?
