08:08 AM ET 04.19 | A loss to the Celtics hurts more than most for Bobcats coach Paul Silas, and the most recent indignity may have set him off. [Silas] shoved 6-foot-10 forward Tyrus Thomas after a postgame screaming match Sunday night, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Several players intervened immediately and separated the coach and player, and no punches were thrown, sources said. Silas, 68, had been incensed with Thomas chatting with some Boston Celtics players on the court, and lashed out at him in the losing locker room afterward. Eventually, Thomas snapped back at Silas, and the coach warned him to say no more or risk a suspension. Once Thomas stood up, Silas pushed him toward his locker stall, sources said.

I don't care how old he is... It's not a good idea to screw with Paul Silas.

Tyrus is still playing? Talk about wasted talent. Thomas has to be one of the most laziest player out there.

I am pretty certain there is one thing we can all agree on that Mike will never, NEVER do...
Isiah will not be hired by Jordan.
