I tell you what, I know Herro can jaw and be a little annoying, but had Thompson done that anywhere else but a basketball court his thug *** would've been in jail. I mean, he really threw Herro.

 

[TortElvisII]

Herro was tossed for being tossed?

Idiots.

He did and you’re absolutely right. Yet, Herro still made zero effort to get back at him after it happened. He’s definitely not a fighter.

Amen Thompson is not a thug lol

Disagree from what he did there. Truly could have been an injury that paralyzed Herro.

 

[chroix]

Tyler needs to widen that stance and he’d be harder to throw. Bad weight management.

This is a ridiculous statement.

Man alive seems like fewer and fewer people have ever been in fights lately

According to someone in this thread it’s because they’ve all died.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm a Rockets fan, but this really isn't much. I agree with the elections, but both players got into it with each other, both players put hands on each other, and Herro was the one that got thrown.

No punches were thrown that I can see (but it's hard to tell in the skirmish)..

Play on.

 

[EliteBlue]

Hero was tossed for being tossed?

Idiots.

He actually didn’t get involved in the scrum after either….crazy he was ejected

 

[SemperFiCat]

Just saw the clip on ESPN page. You could tell Herro didn't want to get back into that scrum. You can see him looking down and something in his brain warning him he ain't about throwing hands, lol.

Also, what was Thonpson yelling at Herro at the end?

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

Herro: "hold me back! Anyone?"

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Also, Rockets are showing some real toughness this year and into last. They're playing a bit like teams of the 80s and 90s, and thats actually good for basketball (So long as it's somewhat contained and doesn't escalate). Don't **** with them, or our coach might come for your head also.

 

[Catluv]

This is a ridiculous statement.

I knew 2 guys that got punched and went down and hit their heads. Both of them died never woke back up. Both were around 18 years old. If Herro had landed bad he could have been seriously hurt. Glad he bounced back up.

Yeah. I’ve seen plenty of people get knocked out and hit their heads. It can be tough. That’s a mile away from what went down here and saying he could have been paralyzed is as likely as him walking out in the parking lot and getting hit by lightning.

He “threw” him by his jersey. Weak sauce.

Paralyzed? LOL

It's funny how standards have changed on this stuff. In the 80s scraps like these happened constantly, nobody ever got paralyzed, nobody made that big a deal out of it, often there weren't even any ejections ...they just shot the technical fouls (and maybe paid a small fine) and moved on.

But not in today's age when folks are looking for any excuse to dramatically overreact.

No he wouldn’t let’s not exaggerate. I’m a proponent of more physicality in the nba. Make these small guys earn it and bring back guys who can play basketball rather than chuck 3s. Nba took a crap a long time ago partially because of how feminized it’s become. That was weak tbh

Just imagine what the GM would feel like if Herros shooting finger was broken

 

[MegaBlue05]

He did and you’re absolutely right. Yet, Herro still made zero effort to get back at him after it happened. He’s definitely not a fighter.

It’s all about risk analysis. I am sure Herro analyzed the situation and was like “I can’t take him” and decided not to retaliate.

I know a few people whose mouths seem to think they can take everyone, and those are the ones who usually end up taking Ls.

 

[JudgeSmells24]

Herro went out like a little bch. He tries to act like he’s so tough. Got punked in front of all of those people. Thompson may as well rubbed his nuts on herro’s face

Always time to get payment later. If not he can live with it. And he will. Time and time again. Better to get payment imo.

 

[Montana81]

Herro went out with the W after he torched houston. That’s what this was really about. Thompson was frustrated that Herro had just worked them all game.

And now Thomspson is probably looking at a game suspension and Herro isn’t.

Thompson’s a real tough guy. But a real stupid guy too.

Herro is basically carrying the Heat right now. Bam hasn’t been all that great this season. And Butler hasn’t been playing i guess because he wants out.

Herro should make his first all star game.

 

[Soupbean]

He did and you’re absolutely right. Yet, Herro still made zero effort to get back at him after it happened. He’s definitely not a fighter.

Yeah Tyler wanted none of that. Stood way back waiting for someone to step in front so he could posture

 

[Soupbean]

Man alive seems like fewer and fewer people have ever been in fights

Yeah if that was a fight I've had a few like that with my ShiTzu

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

He may've dropped the ol' tea-bag if Tyler's face hadn't been planted in the court...

****,, got in a fight with a 21 year old dude few years ago at the mines and had to miss work for 3 days because he body slammed me.. Ended up with 2 different shoulder operations on my left shoulder.. Plus I'm too old to fight someone over half my age

 

[CalipariCapo]

Disagree from what he did there. Truly could have been an injury that paralyzed Herro.

Jesus. I know who I’m not picking for a street fight he MIGHT have a sore knee after that. Paralyzed? That’s a bit of a stretch lol

 

[Monroe Claxton]

Is this Crips vs Bloods?

 

[bbnkat02]

I don't like what he did and he needs a suspension, but this is a bit ridiculous.

I know a few people whose mouths seem to think they can take everyone, and those are the ones who usually end up taking Ls.

He also knows he's valuable to his team. Probably thought that too.

Yeah, the would earn you an ejection in the 80's. You don't just throw people to the floor like it's WWE. Now some shoving and grabbing? But fights became a serious thing the NBA looked at in the late 70s because even fans were starting to get involved in them; like walking out on to the court and challenging players to boxing matches.

The other issue has become every scuffle has become a bench clearing even because everyone has to be "hard". A bunch of millionaires acting tough. It's no wonder NBA ratings are down.

 

[bbnkat02]

That's still a throw lol. If that happened to you or anyone you cared about you'd be pissed.

Go try that on the street to someone and explain to the officer how that isn't assault/battery and why you shouldn't go to jail. I agree it's not a "life threatening" thing, but nonetheless it is and you would be heading to the pokey.

Amen Thompson is not a thug lol

Throwing someone to the ground because they maybe said something to you or are basically owning you on skill (and Herro was) is the very definition of being a punk/thug.

 

[UK90]

Yeah, the would earn you an ejection in the 80's.

You have no clue what you’re talking about. Worse **** than this occurred with no ejection all the time in the 80s. I witnessed it many times. As just one example, do you know what Robert Parish’s punishment was for doing this in the 87 Conference Finals:



Answer: NOTHING. No ejection, no suspension, I don't think even a technical. The refs just treated it like a foul and moved on. It's like they just shrugged and said "Well, you know Laimbeer had it coming...:"

Do you know what else you could once get away with? Attacking the fans. Everybody acted like it was the end of the world when Ron Artest did it in 04, but nobody thought it anything to be concerned about when Cedric Maxwell did this in the 81 Conference Finals:



Do you know what Maxwell's punishment was for that? No ejection. No suspension. Just a $2500 fine. Play on. If he did that today, people would be screaming for him to be banned for life.

Well, I stand corrected. I've slept since then.

Just because it happened didn't make it better either. I'm all about good physical play during the game, hell draw a little blood even. Throwing someone to the floor because they are torching you is such a punk move.

Damn man. Sorry to hear it. I remember how quick I was when I was young but that **** gone now.

 

[bbnkat02]

Yeah, older I get the less often I wanna throw hands. Just too much crap- cops, lawyers, potential medical bills. For that it better be worth it. Most young kids get in fights over the dumbest crap. Just not wroth the investment.
