· Finally, despite the advice from his legal representation, Robin Lopez discussed the origins of his dispute with Piston’s horse mascot Hooper, who Lopez assaulted prior to Sunday night’s game at the Palace at Auburn Hills.
“I think that was kind of an inherited blood feud in a way,” said Lopez. “I know that there was some bad blood between him and the Brooklyn Nets the night before. I’m not sure who orchestrated it but I can’t help but feel I was the victim of that a little bit.”
The “bad blood” stemmed from the part Robin’s twin brother Brook played in a vicious beatdown of Hooper a few night’s before, which prompted Hooper to take to Twitter to challenge Portland’s Lopez, leaving Robin little choice but to defend his honor and that of his family.
“Of course I had to stick up for the family name,” said Robin. “He really should have thought twice before stepping to me … He was really throwing rocks at the hornet’s nest.”
That rock-throwing continued today with Hooper continuing to pester Lopez via Twitter. And while Hooper is probably safe from another beating courtesy of Lopez thanks to Portland playing in Detroit just once per year, the same might not be true for Moondog, the Cleveland Cavaliers canine mascot.
“If (Moondog) stares at me for too long,” said Robin, “if he makes direct eye contact with me, I’d say he has one or two things to worry about. I’m a little canine in my own way. I can be vicious as well.”
