'Cheating Ass, That's All They've Been Doing' - Ty Lue Gets Ejected, Screams For The Ref After The Game So He Can Kick Him In The Mouth
Banner night for people who still scream THIS LEAGUE. God, I hate that saying so much. For as much as people bitch about the NBA, THIS LEAGUE is the worst part of it all. First you had Isaiah Stewart punch Drew Eubanks before a game and get arrested. That's right, arrested!
Then in a completely different game you have Ty Lue getting ejected:
That just sets up the story for what happened after. Clippers come back and win, Ty Lue doesn't care though. He only has revenge on his mind. You know what? Good for him. Ty Lue is no longer just the guy who got stepped over by Allen Iverson. He's no longer that coach for LeBron either. He's now a guy who will kick a ref in the mouth. I side with basically anyone who is willing to for sure get fined for trying to fight a ref. Refs stink. They are insecure, average at best at their job and don't have to deal with any backlash.
There's something also hilarious about threatening to kick a man in the mouth. It's a little too specific. Not punching him in the face. Not fighting him. Just a swift kick to the mouth. Also great line being very specific who you're looking for. James the referee. Better get ahead of the story so people don't think you're pissed at James Harden.
You know Adam Silver can't wait to write up this fine too. Probably smiling, dancing, doing the Chop with Blooper and SVP. He doesn't want the Clippers to win! At least that's what every Clippers fan yells. Either way, a hilarious move by Ty Lue to storm around like this and threaten to kick a man in his mouth. Worth the fine coming. Set the tone for the next game.
