    MT @LithuaniaBasket: Rudy Fernandez got punched in the face by a fan, as he was heading to the bus. Plenty of blood, reportedly.

    They were probably sick of seeing him flop.

    I didn't know Trevor Ariza attended basketball games in Lithuania.

    The fan was an opposing fan. Rudy had just beaten his team by 1 point.

    In the video above, the ref never thought Rudy had been struck. The foul was for throwing elbows, not for throwing them and hitting his face. Rudy moved his head out of the way, bailing out Barnes from a suspension, so the video should not be used as evidence that Rudy flops.

    Well, good for the both of them! The fan, for taking his opportunity to do something many of us have wanted to do (at least once) over the last five or so years... and Rudy, because, well, something tells me he's probably needed a good, solid punch to the face for quite some time now.

    "HARDEN THE FUCK UP," RUDY!

    Big fucking deal. Hatrs gonna hate I guess. Two basketball players were agitated with each other and had two minor skirmishes in a close game. That never happens. Yep, that Rudy is a real scumbag all right. Christ.

    Tho there's no way i'm justifying what that fan has done -but to be fair, Rudy had it coming. First time these teams met this year he's been a proper D-head. Threw a ball at one of the Zalgiris twins, then insulted and spat at their captain. Shame, cuz the guy 's got talent, but often resorts to this disgraceful behaviour.

    You can't understand why he wanted to get away from McMillan?

    I don't hate Rudy. I hate the fact he was never the same after Ariza. And unfortunately could not accept it. I don't hate him. And Maris is right. Booing, hissing, catcalling (within bounds) are part of fan experience, assault is not.

    God, I keep agreeing with Maris, what's happening?

    I don't hate Rudy.

    I do find it funny how he looked at the ref after he was pushed, after he threw/tossed the ball at the guys face.

    That's a tell. He did it to get a reaction, got the reaction, and then expected the ref to do something about it (instead of himself retaliating).

    They do that in soccer all the time.

    Throwing the ball at a dude's head is pretty douchey. Spitting on a guy during a game is incredibly disrespectful. I don't think "scumbag" is too big of a stretch, based on that video at least.
