Isiah Thomas criticizes the participation of Timberwolves in the pistons who beat

The renowned temple Isiah Thomas knows it as much as anyone who has played a physical basketball brand, which makes him the perfect person to speak during the Sunday altercation at the target center of Minneapolis.

During the second quarter of the Timberwolves game of Strait Pistons-Minnesota, the Ron Holland recruit and the Divincenzo veteran were involved in a fight that led to the ejection of seven people, including coaches and players.

“Now, the game we have just looked at, where Holland made a fault for the ball, it was not a blatant fault. Then Divincenzo arrives and sticky, puts his hands and highlights him in the stands,” said Thomas. “And I understand that the Finch coach speaks:” Oh, it’s physical “and everything else, but I see the attacker. I just look at the attacker. Who is the attacker right now? The attacker is zero in white, no. No. He grabs the guy in blue – throw him into the stands now.

“You cannot come back and have a press conference and say:” Oh, the Detroit guys are so physical, and that’s how they play. “When you go up, put your hands on someone, and enter them and run them in the stands, where I come from, you are called the attacker.”

It is not a secret for anyone that Thomas is a loyalist of pistons from start to finish, given his 13 seasons with the franchise, where he helped to achieve their first two championships. It is also well known that, as one of the legends of the “bad boys” era of piston basketball, he defends the physical and physical game and hard defense – something for which his teams were known.

But Thomas is not a circuit in this situation, because the video supports its representation of events.

However, he still took the opportunity to defend the piston basketball brand under the JB Bickerstaff head coach, who is in his first year in Detroit.

“Detroit plays a different style, and that’s what we like to see in the NBA – how each team does not play in the same way, right? And (is) our style against your style, right? Our defense against your defense,” said Thomas. “What we complained about months ago is that each team played the same thing, and each team looked like.

“Finally, we have a team that intervenes and says:” Well, we cannot play like Boston. We cannot shoot 50 three of the night. We have to earn a different way. We have to win by playing our basketball style. “And therefore, it is (where) the styles make the fight.”

On Monday afternoon, the NBA has not yet issued disciplinary measures arising from the incident.
