    Well maybe they should have let him go, maybe his shot was in the stands...

    Don't know what happened, but if Tari got mad, the fan deserved it.

    I stand with Tari.

    JUST IN: Jon Runyan has suspended Tari Eason for 10 games.

    “Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of basketball and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NBA. Your disregard for NBA playing rules puts the health and safety of both you, your opponents and NBA fans in jeopardy and will not be tolerated.”

    Didn't catch that. I'd need to see video showing how far up he got into the stand, and the level of aggression he was expressing.

    Needless to say I think the refs did a horrible job of managing tensions in this game. It started early on with the bizarre 3-way technical on the Jalen 3 that was so obviously a warning shot to the Rockets while ignoring the Kings players being half of the issue. The mood of the game changed when the refs decided to escalate instead of diffuse from the get go, and play to the riled up half drunk home crowd.

    There’s nothing cool about getting caught up in some bullshit during a random ass game like this.

    “The NBA is reviewing an incident involving Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason after he attempted to enter the stands following Tuesday's 120-111 defeat to the Sacramento Kings, a league spokesperson told The Athletic's Sam Amick.

    “Eason threw a towel and yelled obscenities at a heckling fan after walking through the tunnel near the visitors' locker room, according to Amick. The 23-year-old then reportedly tried to enter the stands and came close to the fan section before security held him back.”

    Every iconic defensive player goes up to the stands and gives hands to the audience. It is a must if you want to leave a legacy.

    Amen is next

    He didn't even make it to the stands. Nothing should come out of it. Perhaps the next time the refs won't be so biased with their game fixing.

    The funny thing is Runyan was one of the dirtiest players in the league.

    If he learns from punishment then it is much better than coddling.

    You don't want him to be Artest like.
