Damn I love the Chuckwagon. He can literally throw big men wherever the hell he wants them, and he doesn't back down from anything. He's just a flat out beast.
If you watch the live action angle Hibbert clearly throws a shoulder/elbow at chuck to keep him away from establishing defensive position. Then chuck gives him an elbow back.
I love Chuck. He is a model citizen and a good teammate and hard worker. He has kept a cool head and played hi role, despite the fact that Houston has tried as hard as they could to replace him. Man.....if he was only 6 inches taller he would be a staple and an icon in Houston basketball.....oh well.
Yeah, sports fans can be real idiots sometimes about this kind of thing... I've seen a bunch of people congratulating or praising Chuck for this, and I haven't seen anyone give a good explanation for why. Seems like people are just celebrating the tough guy mentality. I love Chuck as much as the next guy, but it looked to me like he was in the wrong here.
Who cares, we need that toughness on our team, it sends the message that we wont put up with teams bs
shoot first ask questions last.. who cares if chuck was wrong, you side with your people no matter what..
There might have been something going on, on the other end of the court before…the clip doesn’t show. Hibbert did look like he pull a semi-Fisher move throwing his weight back into Hayes. Anyway it was funny to see Chuck get crazy. They may not look alike but Chuck reminds me of The Game Spoiler
I have to say, I'm pretty surprised that this hasn't been brought up yet. But did no one else realize that this was Chuck's first NBA technical? His first EVER. That's pretty amazing to have kept your composure for all 405 games prior to this one.
"Toughness" isn't starting fights for no reason, brogurt... Maybe Chuck had a reason, but no one here seems to know it.
^^^ Gah... wish I could edit that. Really? Are you sure? That is pretty amazing if so... In that case, maybe I should take back what I said. If THAT'S his first tech, Hibbert had to have done something to piss Hayes off.
