What about the altercation with Reggie Miller back in '93? That one was close too.
Interesting that you criticize me for not reading yet this whole ing entire time I have not said that T-Mac should have done nothing. I said it would have been fine to shove his hand off his face. I said it would have been fine to yell expletives at Eddie House. The point of criticism came exactly when T-Mac lunged towards Eddie House and ed back his arm before being held back by Paul Pierce. Why don't you ing understand this?
Yes, the illiterate need to learn how to ing read.
Yeah, I may be mixing the two up in my head. Probably nobody would have blamed Jordan for laying either of them out. What made him great was that the more you pissed him off, the more he destroyed you with his game.
First off I just saw That video of Eddie House tapping Tmac's head, Eddie ing house?, eddie ing house has the nerve to touch Tmac?! When some happens like that its pretty hard not to go after the person especially when its eddie ing house doing it. But Tmac next time has to calm himself down, he should just have cursed Eddie out and then flagrant foul him a few mins later. Thats my opinion.
That might have been a better option, but TMac's coming back from injury. They play the Celtics in the first week of the season, dont' they? Dropping 45 on them at that point would be good.
But what you guys don't understand is that in our day and age if you let someone do that kind of to you, you are looked at as a . When Eddie House tapped Tmac's head he was no longer playing basketball, he just crossed the line with that . That's why imo Tmac dropping 45 is not enough, If Tmac drops 45 and then flagrant fouls Eddie House or one of the role players flagrant fouls Eddie ing House then thats good enough. You can't just let filth like Eddie House get away with that kind of , its unacceptable.
Honestly, If you met me in real life you would probably see Im a very cool guy. But when people do something like that you have to get back at them somehow, you have to send a message. To score points in a basketball game is good but not good enough, you have to make him pay somehow for his actions.
We understand what you're saying pretty well. He is a and a pussy if he doesn't retaliate to Eddie House. My point is who the cares if Eddie House thinks T-Mac is a pussy or a ? Who cares? T-Mac is one of the best players in the world, a multi-millionaire, a sports hero. Why are there arguments by people trying to defend fighting so that he doesn't look like a pussy or a ? Who the cares?
Like you said, it's Eddie ing House. It's a nobody. A nobody, a scrub doesn't deserve a response or retaliation. They deserve a ing condescending laugh and a "not-worth-my-time" blow-off.
And stop comparing yourself or any other average Joe on the street and putting them in that situation. T-Mac is not an average person in a pick-up game. That's the point. If it was just some dude at a rec center, yeah, fight him. It's not. It wasn't. It's T-Mac, who is a franchise star for his team who shouldn't be stupid enough to risk suspension or injury over Eddie ing House.
Okay, but when TMac retaliates, what does Eddie have to do to redeem himself? After all, Eddie House can't be seen as a . See? This goes on and on. When two wolves meet in the woods, there isn't a fight. Pit bulls fight to the death because they are too goddamn stupid to follow pecking order. There are probably six or seven guys on the Rockets that would be more than happy to teach Eddie House what the penalty is for starting with TMac.
I agree that it's stepping over the line. The NBA should have an "inciting" rule where if you do something like tap a guy in the head or do something to try to get him to take a shot at you, you get treated the same way as if you threw a punch. That way at least you reward the player who didn't get goaded into fighting, and nobody calls him a punk for not doing retaliating. It would also preventany of the Rockets from dropping Eddie the next time he goes for a layup.
jamstone, obstructed i respect and partially agree with your points but you have to understand that its not that you don't get pissed b.c a scrub does it to you....its that you get pissed if a scrub did it. T-Mac was like an older brother, eddie house was like the friend of your younger cousin. I can honestly tell you that if tmac didn't do anything he would have gotten for it the rest of his life, apart from the bobby jackson thing he has distanced himself from that stuff.
He would have taken for the rest of his life from whom? Internet messageboard fans?
For millionth ing time, who the cares?
True. Why take it to personally? At the end of the day you get to drive in your Aston Martin, to your mansion and defuse any stressful situation however you choose because you can afford it. Your right Eddie House. Damn these mother ers are lucky!!!!
so whats with bill walker fighting with kevin garnett
Walker's a tool. He's shoved Yao, picked a fight with Garnett, tried to get it on with T-Mac and apparently provoked Lebron.
And so many Spurs fans wanted to draft him.
