Los Angeles point guard Rajon Rondo has ripped the Houston Rockets' Chris Paul in the wake of their fight at Staples Center on Saturday.

The two guards are currently sitting out suspensions after coming to blows during a game between their teams, with Rondo alleged to have spit in Paul's face before punches were exchanged.

Rondo has come out with some scathing remarks regarding the Rockets star, branding him a "horrible teammate" while denying he spat on him.

"I had a mouthpiece in my mouth and I exasperated because I was about to tell him to 'get the [expletive] out of here'," he said to ESPN this week.

"Look at my body language [in the video]. My hands on my hips. I turn away for a second. Look at Eric [Gordon] and Melo [Carmelo Anthony] in the video. If they saw me spit, they would have turned their face up or something. They had no reaction."

Rondo received a three-game suspension for the incident, while Paul was suspended for two games. Lakers forward Brandon Ingram was also issued a ban, with the league suspending him for four games.

"Of course, the NBA went with his side because I got three games and he got two," Rondo continued.

"Everyone wants to believe Chris Paul is a good guy. They don't know he's a horrible teammate. They don't know how he treats people. Look at what he did last year when he was in LA; trying to get to the Clippers locker room. They don't want to believe he's capable of taunting and igniting an incident."

"Exasperating and spitting are two different things. He comes out and says I spit and the media sides with that."

"Y'all are playing me with these tricks or these mind games, tampering with the evidence. Ain't no way that I intentionally spit on you with my body language the way it was.

"One, if I spit on you, bottom line, there is not going to be no finger pointing. If you felt that I just spit on you, then all bets are off. Two, look at my body language. If I spit on you on purpose, I'm going to be ready for a man to swing on me.

"You ain't going to have my hands on my hip and my head look away at someone if I spit on them. After the [expletive] goes down, within 30 seconds, you run and tell the sideline reporters that I spit on you? If I spit on you, you are trying to get to me. You not trying to make up a story so you can look like a good guy. It makes no sense to me."

Rondo maintains that Paul's poke was what provoked him.

"It's bigger than basketball now, for you all, for the league, that side over there trying to spin this like ... this whole spitgate," he added. "Trying to blame me without being accountable for anything he did to provoke the situation."

Glen Davis, better known as "Big Baby" has sided with Rondo on the matter, having played with both guards during his NBA career.
