Eventually dudes start fouling way too hard out of frustration.....Clowns like Deshawn Stevenson .
i don't think that foul deserved a Flagrant 2, or whatever the ref gave him. Despite what Lebron claims, Deshawn did not go at him with a closed fist. In fact, its a common defensive move for right-handers to swat at the ball when someone is driving on the left like that. Deshawn predicted that Lebron would protect the ball with his body and take the shot with his left hand. That didn't happen. If it did, the ball would have got sent to the stands.
Yeah see Jason Kidd. He's looked pretty flat and then he goes and flips out on some wife-beatin' bust a Yoplait cup upside your head[/b] uncontrollable anger steez.
This is what happens when the NBA turns the first round to a seven game series.
True, but it was the Lakers they changed that rule for....
was this for the Payton & Malone team?
I remember first hearing talk about changing the rule after the 2000 series when Sacramento took L.A to five games....The change didn't become official until 2003.....I think that was the year the TV contract was renegotiated ... it was done for money.......But since Maverick,Sonics,Trail Blazer and King fans like to blame the Lakers for everything sometimes i play along as a small measure of sympathy.
I'm not worried too much about this series, but I am worried about what this says about the Celtics.
Looking MAD vulnerable right now. I'm just hoping for some "awoke the sleeping giant" action in games 5 & 6.
Pretty much exactly how I've felt watching the Pistons/Sixers series play out. The difference is that Detroit now has an unshakable reputation for playing at 100% about 50% of the time. I'm definitely not sold on the idea that Boston has lost their confidence, but it doesn't seem to me like they're simply underestimating the Hawks. What is it then?

Yeah, the teams that gave them the most trouble all year were young, run-n-gun offensive teams. If the Celtics can't dictate the pace, they run the risk of getting rolled over.
I'm pretty confident they pull this series out, but I do worry about these old legs getting gassed in what was supposed to be a relatively easy first round. Only good thing is that the other "powerhouse" teams are getting their fair share of adversity, too.

No doubt.
I hope y'all can deal w/ the Cavs next round. And dont let Philly or ORLANDO meet u in the Conference Finals. You probably would like to slow shit down aginst the Pistons.

Not to my knowledge--it's what he is alleged to have done to the one Joumana Kidd.

He got a game like Tayshaun Prince. Pretty good.

It's Johnson vs. Garnett right now.
That ain't his team, remember. He doesn't have a team.
Anyway, Joe Johnson is the man right about now.
Dont let him fool you. I saw him in front of the State Building w/ a Mookie Blaylock jersey on.
Game, Set, Fletch.
(sounded like a good thing to say)
HE IS BEASTING.
Celts looking old and confused.
My phone is blowing up with disbelieving texts.

THE BOSTON DOMINANCE IN SPORTS IS OVER!!!!!! MuHAHAHAHAHhahah.
Jk. Boston is still taking this series.
Boston cant play a running game for 48 mins.
Yeah, the teams that gave them the most trouble all year
were young, run-n-gun offensive teams. If the Celtics can't
dictate the pace, they run the risk of getting rolled over.
