Jerry Stackhouse gets into it with Nets fans, turns ugly

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

As Jerry Stackhouse noted at one point during a tete-a-tete with Nets fans Wednesday night, "I like to argue sometimes! Lol." Indeed, he does. After fans tweeted that Stackhouse hadn't been playing well lately (with some noting they preferred minutes go to MarShon Brooks), he responded in kind, often with direct messages that were then posted on NetsDaily in the comments section of the Timberwolves game recap.

Here is a sampling of Stackhouse's side of the exchange, as saved by one fan. Included in them...

@jkrugelhead get your followers up.. You’re not even worthy of a response

@BSchulzBKN Fans want interaction but when it’s not what you want to hear.. It’s rude and defensive.. Ok

@BSchulzBKN we’ll take pride in the fact your team is 11-1 this year! If I was 36-36 you’d still find something to complain about! Be Happy

@baptiste718 @marshon2 neither one of us make that call. When our number is called we play our mins, if not, we support the other #teammate

@BSchulzBKN wonder if I came to your cubicle and critiqued your work and put it up for public consumption, would your view change??

@jkrugelhead Aren’t you a nets fan? Or just a Marshon fan? This is the best this team has been in loooong time!!

@alboboy98 @ed_boulanger I really don’t mind.. I like to argue sometimes! Lol

@BSchulzBKN I will… Shots come and go just like some "Fans". I’ve shot 0-1 in 4 of the last 5 game. I’m really struggling? Gtfoh

In perhaps, his angriest tweet, a direct message saved and posted in NetsDaily comments, Stackhouse offered this defense.

@BSchulzBKN I play 5-8 mins take 1-3 shots that haven't been falling and we're still plus when I'm in the game so ... stfu

As the exchange closed, Stack tweeted, "It's Amazing how people love to spit venom on others until a little bit splashes back on them...then they become victims!!"

Stackhouse and BSchulz, a Nets season ticket holder, had a particularly intense back-and-forth, with BSchulz preserving and posting his side of the exchange, arguing his tweets were not personal. BSchulz also noted that he did not tweet at Stackhouse, that Stack saw his tweet and responded, starting the exchange. The exchange became the subject of an intense debate among fans in the NetsDaily game recap thread ... and in this one.
