Tari Eason's mother comes out swinging and sends searing warning to Draymond Green: "YOU DON'T WANT THIS"
Tari Eason had some tense moments with Draymond Green toward the end of Game 2 of the Golden State Warriors-Houston Rockets series on Wednesday. Eason's mother, Teroya, was not having any of Green's antics and sent a warning to the Warriors enforcer.
Teroya warned Green not to get into it with her son. She explained that Tari was grieving the loss of his father, who died recently. She even dropped a couple of unfiltered comments for the former Defensive Player of the Year.
"That man just lost his father. YOU DON'T WANT THIS DRAYMOND. This pain you ain’t seen before. These boys not letting yo old a** kick them around. Don’t get f*cked up!!!" Teroya tweeted.
Tari Eason was called for a technical foul late in the fourth quarter of Game 2. He threw a towel at Pat Spencer's face during a commotion when the benches cleared after a timeout was called. It all started when Fred VanVleet and Draymond Green got into it.
The Houston Rockets got the last laugh as they earned a 109-94 victory to even the series 1-1. They travel to San Francisco for Games 3 and 4 at the Chase Center.
The series has been very physical, especially on the Rockets' part. There is an injury cloud hanging around Jimmy Butler, who suffered a hip contusion in the first quarter of Game 2.
Tari Eason's mother not backing down from trolls
Tari Eason probably got his feistiness and intensity from his mother, Teroya, who refused to back down from trolls online. After being called out for her comments on Draymond Green, one user pointed out what Amen Thompson did to Jimmy Butler.
Teroya responded by bringing up Green's history in the postseason.
"First of all HE got pushed. We don’t hurt people for sport, but since we’re here…. Can somebody please go back and show me how many players got hurt on the road to EVERY championship these little mfs have?!?!!!" Teroya tweeted.
Tari's teammate, Steven Adams, knows a thing or two about Green's physicality after being kicked twice in the groin in the 2016 NBA playoffs.
