Tari Eason posted a video online last week quoting a famous movie. On Thursday night, it backfired against the player.

Namely, Eason quoted a phrase from the 1979 movie "Warriors" - 'Warriors, come out to play.' A week ago, the Houston Rockets were tied with the Golden State Warriors and were a legitimate threat for the play-in spot.

Eason came out to the game between the two teams with a shirt with the phrase written on it. As he was injured, he only got to watch his team's loss from the sidelines.

Golden State's Klay Thompson was pissed with Eason.

"That's pretty lame, especially if you're not even playing. It's one thing if you're playing and you're out there competing and can back it up, but you're just gonna be trolling from the sideline? Bro, what are we doing? We talk mess, but at least we're out there competing. That's all I have to say about that," Thompson said in the post-game press conference.
