NBA Twitter has hilarious reactions to Rockets-Clippers beef

The Rockets and Clippers were beefing Monday night at Staples Center. The party almost continued after the game in the Clippers' locker room, but cooler heads kept that from happening.

It wasn't for a lack of trying on Houston's part. Clint Capela reportedly was deployed as a diversion/decoy to allow Chris Paul and other marauders to gain access through a secret passage.

That nugget, as well as Paul's failed attempt to air his grievances with Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers, led to comedy gold from a wide-awake Twitter.

Okay. I have to go to the gym. So that one day, I can be a decoy for my point guard, too.

CORRECTION: Chris Paul hid in a dining cart as Trevor Ariza, wearing a security uniform and fake mustache, wheeled him into the Clippers locker room

Meanwhile, TNT's Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley had their own belly laugh over reports Los Angeles police may have been called to keep the peace.
