[jbsays]

TT is trash on multiple levels.

"MY CITY". Bro, you are from Brampton.

Explains so much about this when I remembered he's from **** Brampton lmao

[Ducklett]

Was the fight at least interesting or just yapping and some mild pushing?

Yup, if that lol

lol. A guy who averages fewer points than the bucket he got late in the game got into a 'fight' with one of the worst teams in the league over rule based on 'pride'.

Thats pretty funny.

GTA includes Brampton. What a soft thing to point out. If he says he's Canadian, would that be wrong too? Lol

Maybe I’m missing something but there was a full court press put on and he scored. I see no issue if the raps had the press on. What am I missing?

So for the play until the absolute end crowd, TT scored when no one guarded him because he was upset the Raptors refused to stop trying earlier.

A skirmish broke out during overtime in Game 1 after Tristan Thompson was called for a flagrant foul two on Shaun Livingston.

Cleveland was down 122-114 with 2.6 seconds left in overtime when Livingston missed a mid-range jump shot. Thompson didn't appreciate the attempted shot and was seen directing his elbow in Livingston's direction.

Thompson was called for a flagrant foul two and seemed confused by the ejection.

The Warriors had words with Thompson, who shoved the ball in Draymond Green's face. A skirmish broke out as both teams were angry.


After the game, Thompson told reporters why he was upset with Livingston.

"Maybe he was trying to increase his points per game. I don't know," Thompson said. "That was some bull, but I just needed to contest."

no everyone stopped playing including Craig Porter who was going to run out the clock until thompson yelled for the ball

[RookieStar]

Maybe its just me, but if im an end of the bench 15th man scrub who probably gets in the court less than 10x in an 82 game regular season, you can bet im gonna try to score and put stats on my record. lol

Thompson isn't saying it's ok to do what he did, he's saying he did it in response to Darko dialing up a full court press during garbage time.

[Deadpool Raptor]

Didn't see it but did grown men get upset that someone scored a basket again?

This attitude makes the NBA what it is today.

[johanliebert]

Somehow certain media members took it upon themselves to ridicule Thompson. A canadian player lol what is the media here doing
