“That’s What Happens When You Start Bustin’ Somebody’s Ass”
While Rafer Alston was making comments in the Magic locker room about how he has no hard feelings for Eddie House, Boston’s Game 2 standout wasn’t about to make peace with the guy who just smacked him on the back of the head. Maybe Rafer will change his tone after seeing this clip of House calling him out…

Nice of him to say that post game. Now if he woulda had the nerve to say that when they were nose dancing…I’d take him seriously.

Wow another Dime’s “Celtics Hate” post. What would do u expect him to say?? “Ooh, rafer is the man, he can hit me whenever he wants”????
Eddie just speak the Truth, Orlando got thier ass whooped, didnt they? Alston is frustrated he couldnt stay with Rondo and when Eddie is in he left Eddie open…..no? Plus i was cheap shot by Alston, any man would have reacted the same Eddie did unless ur a fag and like to get hit. Good job Dime smh

Who’s Alson anyway? And1′s clown who tried so hard to became legit NBA player but he’s just mediocre PG, that’s all.

WINDYCITYBULL says:
HONESTLY when did it become ok to talk shit when u average 3.0 point per game and your an out of shape pg in the nba, who cant do anything but shoot 3′s.
This is sad that i watch scrubs hit a shot and get so amped up that they end up talkin shit to the other team. I WOULD OF SLAPPED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM TOO, maybe then he would STFU and just play ball. Only thing bush league is a scrub pg runnin his mouth everytime he does something “HE IS POSE TO DO ON THE COURT”.
NEW RULE: NO TALKIN SHIT UNLESS U A. BLOCK A DUNK
B. DUNK ON SOMEBODY BIGGER THEN U
OR C. HIT A GAME WINNER.
EDDIE HOUSE EQUALS JJ REDICK. VERY POINTLESS.

That slap is just funny every time i see it.
House talking that trash because he had one good game where he was getting minutes because the STARTERS were taking care of business. Before he gets too cocky, somebody remind him they just lost home court in the series.

POPPI GEE says:
WINDYCITYBULL said it all, and said it all correctly!
I was short of standing up and applauding Rafer for smacking House!
House needs to be smacked and what is even more comical was House after he got popped. Dude wasn’t going to do nothing. I don’t know many dudes that literally get smacked and then just go up to a dude to discuss it lol.
House is a wanna be star and full fledge punk.
Thanks Rafer you made many proud!

dont compare eddie to jj, this isnt college….and if you come off the bench and torch a team like the magic, u have the right to talk shit….if you forgot, eddie got a ring last year, champs earn the right to talk!

House is pretty fucking arrogant for a guy that does ONE thing well on the court.

the truth is house is always acting like he is a freaking clown whenever he hits a shot, ha starts jawing and screaming and shit, alston bitchslaps him and house did nothing.
i like waht alston did,it migth cost him a suspension but he is a hero for a lot of nba point guards who are pretty tire of eddies shit
its a funny youtube video too,the way the headband moves and eveything, eddie bitch house got punkd
May 7th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
mules says:
House is a classless scrub who loves nothing more than to get showboat and get all puffed up when he hits a shot…any shot…freethrows even. If the dude ever took the ball to the hoop he’d get shown pretty quick just how much the other team appreciates his antics.
And as much as I liked to see Eddie get smacked in the head, that was a dumb, dumb move by Rafer. I understand his frustration but he’s gotta keep himself in check and just keep making Eddie’s shots as difficult as possible.
It was funny in the Lakers/Rockets game how Battier kept his cool and just kept playing tough D even though Kobe was lighting him up…in the end Kobe got T’s up on the frustration call since he couldn’t seem to get under Battier’s skin.

calvin brodus says:
for real, ive watched this clip about 8 times now and that slap keeps getting funnier. kudos to rafer on shifting dudes headband.
i dont even ask this sarcastically, who the fuck is eddie house? i havent watched the celts at all this season, but i followed them real closely through the playoffs last year and i dont remember that guy. now i see his name in every smack.
i guess i know who he is now though. house it that dude that got smaked on the back on the head by skip to my lou.
May 7th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Clip joint says:
House was doing his job. You can’t respond like you would at the park while you are at work. Reminds me of the chappel sketch about keeping it real. Bottom line house plays the next game rafer ” I keeps it real” alston sits at home with street cred. Depends what is more important to you.

@ Clip joint
You’re right, but Eddie tends to go a little overboard on letting people know how well he’s doing his job. Don’t be surprised to see Eddie get T’d up on a tauntung call the next time he does his “cold-stare-at-the-opposing-bench” routine.

POPPI GEE says:
Oh please believe that ol boy, that is over reviewing the fighting and all was sending out that text at the Rockets and Lakers game that probably went something like this:
In light of the actions and situations that have occured in both games tonight (5-6-09) I am urging and calling for all officials to call all games very tight. Eject who you need to eject and call whatever is necessary. We will not allow the playoffs to become a fiasco.
Or something like this:
“Yo did you all see how Kobe wanted no parts of Ron?!?! LMAO, He is probably one of few players who strikes fear in other players, coaches, fans and all. Kobe so didn’t want it …and oh yea Eddie House is a punk feel free to call a tech on him whenever.”

Aldridge – “Did you say something to make Rafer slap you in the head?”
Crack House – “Naw, I just made a jump shot and I just think that’s what happens when you bust someone’s ass and He resorted to Bush-league tactics.”
That’s right Crack-House, you’re an angel on the court, I could just tell from your response. Somebody please get the mirrors out of this guys HOUSE.

“…they resort to bush league tactics so you know we above that we not into that we just gonna play basketball…”
uh, does he not realize his team leader is KG? i’d say getting on your knees and barking or clapping in someone’s face is pretty damn bush league.

Bron42 aka Had Springs Before Slamball says:
house has always been a straight forward but cocky dude…even when he was over here with the nets he thought he was the shit…dude can ball though and when he gets hot hes a legit threat. And like he said, no matter what he averages for a career, he was bustin skips ass last night. You don’t gotta be a hall of famer to bust someones ass for one night.
And Gee, of course kobe wants no part of ron in a fight. Why fight Artest, when chris childs still haunts kobes dreams.

@changster, taunting a player or as boston fans say “gettin hyped on defense” isn’t bush league..cheap shots are bush league. KG punkin people would at most be f*cked up but its not bush league.

@q.
Rafer makes about 5 or 6 million a year. Average PG with lots of $$$$ in his pockets. I think he’s represented himself well and separated himself from the AND1 clown scene. But you’re entitled to your opinion.

Ric Hardwood says:
say whatever y’all like about House, but dude gave the Magic a dose of their own medicine… 3′s and more threes… and so what if he shoots 3′s all day? That’s a role player! That’s his role. Alston was just sore he couldn’t even guard a 5’10″ role player… pshhh Alston should definitely be suspended. He would’ve got his ass kicked if he pulled that shit with the And1 tour.

the worse part about it is Eddie House’s son goes to all the home games…that means he just witnessed his own father get bitch-slapped…and his father does nothing…
May 7th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
srb says:
Why does Eddie get made fun of for this? He turned around and got in Alston’s face, instead of getting in a cheap shot of his own, and somehow he did something wrong? A couple of people said he did “nothing” … but he turned around went nose to nose with Rafer, who also apparently did “nothing” to back up his cheap shot.
All of you would love Eddie if he was doing the exact same thing for your favorite team.

Kudabeen says:
Are people really hating on Eddie House because he can shoot the lights out? Wow…that is just lame loser stuff…
Get on him for talking so much, but the “he only does one thing good” stuff is ridiculous…How many people in this post plays or played in the NBA? How many have a championship and contributed? How many have ever dropped 50 in an NBA game or over 30 in a playoff game?
Eddie talks a lot just like his team and if Orlando wanted to shut them up they would have to beat them…Last game was anyone talking about Boston trash talk, because they were losing.
Rafer wasn’t justified in that after the fact slap to the head. It was a dumb move. Period. He should be suspended on shear stupidity. Funny yes, to see a grown man get slapped in the back of the head, but silly for Rafer. Now Anthony Johnson, JJ, Lue are going to be the only options to stay in front of and put pressure on Rondo on the other end…
31 points on 11-14 shooting is exactly what it reads like…Legit. Can’t hate on that and still be taken serious…

House also gave them a few more buckets…That is the best pay back…Crush their spirit with your performance not by getting kicked out or suspending…

doc says:
Yall can talk that Eddie average 3 points and Steve Kerr shit all yall want but Eddie was busting that ass last night and if Kerr wouldve put up 31 im sure he would get a little emotional.Skip just blacked out for a sec and its gonna cost him a game.It was funny as hell though.Looked like dad popping son for running in the street.
May 7th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
mules says:
@ doc…
yeah, Kerr may get “a little emotional” putting up 31 and it’s perfectly understandable. But, to call Eddie’s antics “a little emotional is just rediculous. Dude acts like every bucket he makes is the first of his career. I’m not saying he shouldn’t celebrate at all or anything but the constant mean-muggin’ to the other bench and the puffed-up chest bullshit is really classless and disrespectful of the game. He should really learn a thing or two from his teammate that dropped 51 on Chicago last week…act like you’ve done it before and you’ll do it again.

Chaos says:
Man it is a lot of Celtics and Eddie House haters in this post man….if you look at NBA games, everybody talks trash, you just cant tell what they saying. i bet alot of yall favorite players were trash talkers and ya boy Skip couldnt handle it cuz he was gettin his ass busted…not just by house but he Rondo has a Triple -Double his ass too. He got smoked tonight by Rondo (18-15-11) and House (31pts)….be a man and take that shit out on the court and bust his ass next time, dont start shit….
and yall recognize the skill. when house get hot, hes lights out, bottom line. yea he cant dribble, defend or jump but he can shoot and thats why the C’s got him.
and i bet if any of yall scored a bunch of points on the playground when thats not what u usually do you’d be talking mad shit too
May 7th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
changster says:
@Bron42:
I don’t necessarily agree with your definition of bush league but regardless… you say that cheap shots are bush league.. then how about rondo throwing kirk heinrich into the score table in the last series? that cheap shot had way more intent to hurt than alston’s slap to the back of the head.. that wasn’t meant to hurt him, just disrespect him.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:27 pm

did i just hear Eddie House say he was above bush league tactics? Isn’t this the guy that screams in dudes ears all game from the sideline like he is in the game

D.H. says:
I’m with Kudabeen. I don’t care how you do it, but putting up 31 in an NBA playoff game is something to get riled up about. Being the leading scorer and helping your team win is something to fired up about. The guys is a shooter who gets excited when he’s on a role.
You guys talk like you dont talk shit when you’re killing it on your court. Grab a dictionary and look up hypocrite.

House didn’t hit a 3, he hit 8 3′s out of 10 over 3 games. You think blocking a dunk contributes more than that?

Eddie House is like one of those retards who never played a lick of ball in their life, and when they score one point, they go crazy and start talking shit like they just dropped 50 on you.
