Rafer Alston Slaps Eddie House

Eddie House is one of those extremely streaky shooters. When he is on he is unstoppable. And when he isn’t he could star in the D-league. Maybe it is because of these hot and cold streaks but when Eddie gets hot he has a tendency to jump around the court throwing his arms up and yelling. I could see how this could get under an opponents skins.

That being said, it was a bit of a shock to see Skip To My Lou smack House in the head. House drained a three right in Alston’s face. I mean right in his grill. House’s elbow might have come down and grazed Alston–but that was solely a product of how close Alston was covering House. A second later Alston slapped House in the back of the head.

Not long after the incident, you could see that Alston knew he screwed up big time.

Alston should be gone for game 3. This puts the Magic backcourt at even more of a disadvantage; if that was even possible. Rondo dropped another triple-double last night.
