at crying to media about being called a bytch.
"He's some little punk that acts like he is tough," Thomas said of Rose, whom Thomas was found guilty of elbowing and punching in the head during Saturday's 101-90 Knicks' loss at Indiana. "He is in front of his bench, in front of his home fans, he's trying to act like he's tough. He is a little punk who thinks he's tough
just like that little punk Reggie Miller. (Miller) is bytching at the media. . . . he's always flopping,
he's a little bytch," Thomas added. "That is all he is."
"When told that Thomas had called him a punk,
Rose responded last night, "I knew he had just gotten corn rows for the first game. Maybe they were braided too tight. I didn't throw him an elbow.
I'm sure more people will call him a punk than me. He did throw a couple of weak shots out there."
"(Rose) threw a little cheap shot, then he wants to cry to the media as if he didn't do anything wrong," Thomas said. "If he wants to throw elbows, we can throw elbows and if he wants to throw punches, we can throw punches."
Thomas said had he thrown a punch at Rose, the former Fab Fiver would "probably be knocked unconscious today."
Thomas said he'll deal with the punishment, even though he said the two-game suspension was harsh. He said he may consider filing a grievance.
