I thought there was a game 3 dust-up.

Was this in addition?

EDIT: this from the Globe referencing game #3

He offered a Washington fan the opportunity to get his ass kicked.  Kind gesture imo, surprised the league found issue with it.  #MidgetGate

Why wasnt the fan thrown out?

A little heckling fine...but constant harrasment should not be tolerated

I can't help but wonder what this guy said to get this kind of response, but this does not seem like the kind of response IT normally gives as he is not exactly matt barnes or jr smith in temperment. I had to wonder, but knowing the lengths fans go to be horrible, mixed with some booze, but perhaps some comments were made about his sister?

Edit: I also say this given the fact it seems like the guy filming knew IT was going to lose it and were waiting to film the reaction.

From that Globe article:

a male heckler was “screaming all game” at Thomas to “take his toothless a– back to Boston.”/quote]

My subjective opinion is, if it is not fined with laws to reply someone, NBA also shouldn't disallow... But it is a private organization so you accept the rules and consequences of breaking them.

The fan who poured beer on Lebron in the garden got away with it.

I'm not surprised. They guy has to emotionally spent, and I'm sure that played a part in him snapping.
