[Highlight] Amen Thompson makes a questionable play against Austin Reaves
This is really a next-level dirty play. Down 20 at the end of a elimination game and violently trying to injure the other team’s star player.
This is the kind of dirt-baggery that sticks on your reputation.
A recently returning star player too. And one that’s like 30-40lbs lighter
Andrew Bynum
Bynum became a total nobody after that. Still embarrassed by that elbow to Barea, just gross behavior.
Kelly Olynyk
he was at least getting dunked on in that scenario, this was so far away from the play
He absolutely was not getting dunked on by JJ Barea
the 5 time dunk contest champion jj barea
Thank u! I thought I was tripping
hey it was a long time ago alright
I remember it like it was yesterday
That’s what a title run does to you. It’s amazing how much I remember from those vs. playoff failures.
Starts with the coach, I’m excited to see Udoka’s dumbass gone.
Lmao it was a layup attempt and he elbowed that mfer in mid air what
0% Chance he was getting dunked on bruh
Him and Dyson must hang out together
They’ll have time to do that in Cancun
Dyson Daniels needs to order 10 tequila shots at a time, gets 1 down the other 9 miss wide
And Thompson doesn’t get any cause he doesn’t like shots
He’s been dirty.
Yeah I feel like there’s been a few of these a season for him? This one’s just the most egregious. Him and his brother have a short fuse.
To do that on a guy coming back from an oblique injury… In garbage time basically- pathetic.
This is some Kelly Olynyk shit.
That’s the culture there. Bunch of losers
He’s been doing this shit his whole career.
Amen Thompson is a dirty player. This is nothing new, and it’s only his 3rd season.
Let’s not forget last season with Jimmy
Some of these rockets players have weird attitudes man
Their head coach is a piece of shit.
He seems like a terrible leader, he is a shit X’s and O’s coach as well. Also, fuck KD.
Fuck Ime, this teams offense is fucking garbage.
But to his credit, the team tries extremely hard on defense and on the glass. They could’ve easily phoned it in when the series was 3-0. Gotta give the coach some credit for keeping them motivated.
Fair, hopefully we can get some more tea on what went down internally post KD files.
One of imes biggest problem with the Celtics I see a lot with the rockets. He doesn’t know who the offense flows through best and you get a lot of 1 on 1 hero ball.
Big on the last part.
Yes, the fish rots from the head. Also, Ausar has said this weirdo is the crazy twin.
His entire coaching strategy is “don’t be a bitch”. Real winner this Ime guy is
their strat last playoff series against the warriors was to hack the absolute shit out of steph because they knew they could get away with that kind of dirty play
ime udoka is a fuckin fraud teaching bad fundamentals to a young squad
Rockets fan here for 20+ years. Yeah I’m done with this team. This coach and most of the players tbh.
I’m with you, man. This is embarrassing
Same. Been done since they hired Ime
Any guys you’d want to stay with going into next yr?
Steven Adams. Maybe FVV. Everyone else is expendable for the right price.
Ignore my flair but the Rockets are a problem team. Terrible discipline.
Betting the future on a win now move featuring a Thompson twin and waky waving inflatable arm Sengun will age like milk.
Adams and 5 foot 2 Fred will be one year older next year.
Rockets talk about Adams and Van Vleet as if they’re prime Kobe and Shaq
FVV has a career FG% of 40% and people have acted like they were out one of their top guys
You just don’t watch games.
Fred controls the pace of the game and offense.
This low IQ, dumb as bricks Rockets team needs someone like him to unlock their offense.
Speaking of terrible discipline, which team this year is going to have the worst game 7 and get KD next year?
Cleveland who loses to an injured raptors team after the first seven Doink half court bank shot then decides to reunite Harden and KD
They should aquire Westbrook too for shits and giggles.
If Detroit as a 1 seed loses to Orlando as an 8 seed, Pistons fans better get ready for an insufferable off-season of KD speculation in the same vein as what Houston had to endure last year
A team of strange people, with a strange fandom
Honestly fuck the whole team. So sick of their attitude and just weak ass shit.
Always fun to watch them get bounced from the playoffs. Sengun has the mantle for player that annoys me most and I take solace in seeing him get exposed year after year
They take it from their coach.
Udoka’s rubbing off on him. Gonna have to spread a lot of sage once he is gone to rid the locker room of those bad vibes.
Worst attitudes from head coach to players.
Seem very angsty and unsettled. Not sure what’s going on in their heads all the time..
Head coach is a certified piece of shit, their ”veteran leader” is Getoffmydickerson… Not the best situation.
Can’t wait for the Lu dort highlights in a few days, this gonna look like a nice play in comparison
What a bitch ass move…
Yeah… there’s no way to defend that. Dirty as hell
It’s disappointing bc I kinda like Amen but to do that to a guy a couple games removed from an oblique injury is inexcusable.
Teams need an enforcer. Do that shit in hockey you gotta drop gloves afterwards. Have someone come off the bench and foul them hard next possession. Will stop all the antics from all these dirty players real quick.
Reminds me of when Kevin Love got taken out
What I thought also
Fucken Kelly olynik
And I don’t even think Kelly Olynyk pulled as hard as Thompson just did.
Also shoved Rui when he was trying to help up Şengün.
This pissed me off too. And the fact it was called a double tech. Always a good time to say fuck the refs
They didn’t call anything. It’s shocking that Amen finished the game with zero techs.
Oh I think the commentators misstated it. That’s crazier, he just shoved Rui for no reason. If Rui weren’t chill that could easily have broken out into a fight
Insane they didn’t call a flagrant on that
Ayton getting that flag 2 compared to some of the other stuff that goes uncalled is wild
Yup. This is a flagrant 2, not Ayton’s.
Can the league give retroactive techs and fines for something like this even if it wasn’t called in the game?
Dirty fucking play for no reason. Pussy shit.
Shoved Rui after a play and no tech either. Such a bitch
amen always been like this
He’s spent too much time around Sengun… Probably the best example in the NBA of a whiny bitch who plays dirty when he’s getting his ass kicked because he’s too much of a pussy to take an ass kicking without trying to hurt someone.
Didn’t he do the same to herro lol
That’s a big ass moose
Nothing questionable about it. Dirty ass sore loser
Yeah pushing Rui was uncalled for especially when youre down 20
The shove and sengun clearly not taking Rui up on the offer but Rui not noticing because he wasn’t looking at him lol.
Rui so wholesome. Looked genuinely surprised Anne wanted to fight.
Anne
Her?
Listen I’m sure Egg is a very nice person
Love the hard screen Jake put on him after this
Lost a lot of respect for Thompson there. It’s understandable to be frustrated and maybe commit a hard foul. That isn’t a hard foul. That is trying to injure someone, period
Facts I don’t think I’ve ever 180’d faster on the player.
Amen’s been a little dirty before this tbh
Since I’ve watched every warriors game and not a ton of other nba games, I’ve always had a pretty awful opinion of amen Thompson.
Yeah, fuck Amen Thompson
what you guys didn’t like the “late swiping Curry’s injured wrist is the same as driving left on a player with a weak right knee” attitude of the Brooks, Amen, Sengun defensive core from last playoffs?????
Trying and succeeding. Ar went limping back shoulder fucked upice packs. Needed a snack. So rude.
AR dapped him up and smiled post-game too. I would not have that in me if someone did that to me. Really shows what a class act he is.
Saltiest dap up ever. Reeves was still extremely unimpressed. Which, could you blame him.
He’s done stuff like this before. He is a dirty player
I blame Ime. You can look at last year in the first round and the plays against the Warriors.
The twins have been two of my favorites. Insane athleticism and defense. This is straight bitch made, tho
Not the first time he’s pulled dirty moves
Here? Hardly his first moment like this.. he’s cut from the same cloth as Dort but since the Rockets aren’t as good it gets less attention
It seems Amen has reverted back to his days against Tyler Herro. He should be more chill like his brother.
I wonder how often they parent trap the nba and switch teams.
Amen calling Ausar after this game going “WTF? Why are you making me look bad out there!”
I loved the theories about the Morris twins doing this
I was close to believing it too
Amen wouldn’t leave the gym until he could beat Ausar but he kept on losing, so he smacked the crap out of Ausar when he started going easier on him. Obviously it was viewed as being competitive but like wtf lol.
I thought this was pasta but it’s real?
The spirit of Kelly Olynk lives on
the last time one of Lebron’s star teammates got their arm yanked in the first round…
At least Olynk’s had the terrible “excuse” that it would at least help them win. This is 100% just being a douche
Down 3-0 in the 1st round of the playoffs. Man fuck Kelly Olynyk.
Laker coaches asking for a review were just ignored.
Refs were ready to pack it up
Why are they paid to check out before the game’s over? Laziness? Vegas? Surely not for respect of the game. Sports betting has no doubt been a plague for the league.
Scott Foster baby
Nothing questionable about it, just a dirty play from a reckless team full of sore losers
Yeah they tried their best to injure Steph last season too
The amount of times I saw Dillon Brooks act surprised for fouling one of our guys on the hand and I’m like “this is your rule buddy” lmfao.
Rockets really embracing that salty KD mentality
KD ain’t out here trying to intentionally injure people.
Well they can also go home with kd.
KD can’t go home with these cats
Austin is coming off an oblique injury too wtf was that?
Should be a fine without question.
A big one
along with a suspension to start next season without pay
Absolutely. They need to punish shit like this
Weak move from a weak player
What not being able to shoot does to a mf
Stuff like this should get you suspended for the start of next year.
Bitch ass punk knows he won’t see any consequences for it
Yeah if the Rockets had won this game there is no way he should have been able to play in Game 7
I swear if he’s hurt..
Fucking dirty ass player
Seems like he’s alright now but that’s a dirty ass play. No clue how the ref doesn’t see that bullshit.
he pushed hachimura earlier for trying to help sengun up as well. don’t be mad at the lakers cause y’all suck ass
Heat fans have been tried to tell y’all Amen is a bitchy loser.
Warriors fans too.
When you’re right, you’re right
Insert clip of Ausar saying Amen was violent as a child here
Amen was an aggressive child, he used to try and hurt me
What an asshole. Knows they’re going home and does that shit
This rockets team is a bunch of bitches
Amen was an aggressive child
What a loser
Shades of fucking Kelly Olynk pulling Kevin Love’s arm out, jesus christ that was rough.
These Rockets players been bitching and crying all game, pulling dirty shit like this.
he got absolutely leveled on a screen minutes later, deserved
Should’ve been checked harder on that screen, but I was happy someone fucking retaliated after we secured the win
He took Jimmy Butler out last year with a dirty play too
What a little bitch
How he didnt got ejected for this unnecessary play?!?!!
It’s hilarious
Not only is the rockets rebuild looking like a massive failure, but they’ve somehow compiled the most unlikable players in the league it feels like - very impressive!
They had to get poor steve adams to even the moral compass abit 😂😂😂
WTF!
Fuck amen
Questionable is very generous
Bum
Bitch ass sore loser
Last year against the warriors they pulled dirty shit like this against curry all series. Dirty team and coach
So fucking dirty
Eject this bum
Dirty fucking bitch move, these Rockets fucking suck
Lmao tries to dislocate Austin’s shoulder, then throws himself into Luke and flops in the same clip. Earlier sengun flopped over rui, rui then tried to help him up and Amen shoved him away, without getting a tech. He and sengun have been so dirty and horrible this series, some shameful stuff right here.
The rockets are really really really unlikable dumb young low iq athletes
Amen is such a sore loser. Feels like anytime he resorts to being a bitch is when the Rockets are getting their shit kicked in
Yikes
What a dirty bitch
They’re mad they getting blown out by 30 lol
What a massive pussy
Hopefully Reaves just landed on a funny bone in his knee and it’s nothing serious Bro already took a shot to the face earlier trying to play defense too lol
Nothing questionable about it. That was a straight up bitch move. No respect for this guy from now on. Great way to make a fan base hate you for the rest of your career.
What a sore loser.
Should fine the rockets a shit ton of money
Pathetic fucking loser, hold that L bum
The Lakers sending this sad poverty franchise into ANOTHER rebuild, so fucking sad bro.
hey OKC fans…see how this thread doesnt have dozens of Houston fans trying to justify this like yall do with Dort? wild huh
Not another Kelly Olynk
wow what a dirty play especially when the game is over
Dirty loser.
Bitch
Any chance this will get reviewed post-game with some repercussions?
He shoved Rui for trying to help Sengun up earlier too
Dirty move. Should have been an easy ejection.
Should have been an ejection
Amen Thompson should work on his jumper instead of being a cry baby bitch
Just dirty man
Oh, dude
LOSERS
Absolutely embarrassing from amen
took out reaves and kennard in 5 seconds
Whats up with all these guys pull arms??
Entire roster full of losers
Embarrassing play from an unbelievably overrated player.
Does anyone have a clip of jake laravia clotheslining this MF’er as he rightfully deserves ?
LaRavia just got back in my good graces when he layed Amen out near the end with a screen.
Wish he got him harder.
Shit is straight just dirty, nothing hard about this shit
Oh no he pulled his arm😢😢😂😂
I wouldn’t say it’s questionable. It pretty clearly looks like a targeted, shitty foul on a guy who just came back from injury. I would hope that Vando or some other Laker would return the favor to Amen on the next play, without question.
