Rafer Alston slaps Eddie House in back of head

[TruthKGRay3412]

That was funny haha but want to know whats even funnier? Rondo vs Anthony Johnson next game.

I love it how he decides to come back when he realizes its Alston. lol

He obviously knew it was Alston..he would of done the same thing if it was Dwight.Just like Eddie said in his post game interview it was a bush league move.

Suspend his ass!

[Sanity]

Haha. The weird thing is I don't know if I like Alston more or less now

[Solid Snake]

Hey guys two questions:

1) What did House do immediately afterward? We see him in the gif halfheartedly approach him, but did they get face to face or what?

2) Initially the slap looked like a friendly slap, like, "boy, you better git yoe ass on, etc," but what prompted this.

And my questions are out of order..

I can't believe Marv and Reggie actually called that a punch/ejection and suspension. Are you ****ing kidding me. It should be a tech, fine, and that's it.

I don't see how you suspend Rafer for a slap to the head when you didn't suspend Rondo in the 1st round.

He BETTER be suspended. That wasn't even a play on the ball or anything and from what I can tell, Eddie didn't say one word to him. Just a slap to the head for no reason. And I love how not one single ref saw what was happening til after Alston and House were chest to chest. WTF do the refs do during the game????

But it was a very funny and random part of the game. I just guess Rafer wishes he could shoot like House.

Because when Rondo hit Miller, he was going towards the basket and Rondo tried to prevent him from scoring.

When Alston slapped House, Eddie already made the shot and was running back down court and Rafer slapped him in the head for no reason.

If you can't see that, then visit the eye doctor.

I was talking about tossing Hinrich out of bounds.

Rondo's Hinrich throw was way more dangerous than a slap to the back of the head.

Oh, well that makes more sense, but Rondo didn't HIT (or slap) Hinrich, they got tangled up and Rondo threw him out of bounds. I have to admit, I really really thought Rondo was gonna be gone for that and thought it was stupid of him to do that. It bothered him the whole game that night too b/c he sucked it up after that.

But what Alston did was amazingly stupid. Does he not realize he's not playing streetball anymore? I can't see how he WON'T be suspended, and if he's not, then I guess it means it's ok that players can slap each other. Is that what the NBA wants? Players having slap fights and only drawing double techs?

By the way, that's bs that House got called for a tech. What SHOULD'VE happened is House gets a tech for gettin in Alston's face, and Rafer should've been ejected. IMO.

[Myth]

If Alston was smart, he would have thrown House at the scorer's table by the elbow. He could get his revenge and know that all he would get is a Flagrant 1 or the NBA would risk creating a controversy.

You can thank Lalion for finding it.

HAhahaah...what the hell was that? Were they talking before or anything?
I'd be more offended at the poor sportsmanship if I could stop laughing.
I love how his head ripples around in the after shock.

What a stupid move...he's going to get suspended for such a pointless act.
