Anyone else amazed that you can have a basketball game without 70 FTA?

The Cs players have too much class to order some kind of retaliation. They have to play on Tuesday.

The worst thing the Celtics can do at this point is flagrant foul someone in retaliation, and lose a player for some games next round. Marvin has horrible body control (why he isnt living up to his potential)... that flagrant was more attributable to that than to an "evil intent"

gotta give the Hawks much respect though for hanging in there, I can only think they'll get much better next season with that talent and youth and athletic ability. very tough matchup for the Cs.

wish we could see some AC Law though

The Hawks always play dirty. Horford almost ended TJ Ford's career with a dirty foul.


No they don't. They're young and aggresive. Both Horford and Williams are standup guys.

It was clearly a flagrant, but at the same time I don't think Williams is a dirty player. Just let emotion get the better of him. We just need to move on, not retaliate (worst thing ever to do), and win this game.

Rondo's going to need a full body ice pack.

Gotta sit the starters in the fourth and get ready for LeBron.

Forget about the flagrent and how crapy we played these guys this series.....lets just sit back, crack open a beer, and enjoy the clinic we're putting! I for one am rooting for a 100-50 final...who's in?

Without the help of the referees the hawks are powerless, the free throw differential this series was rediculess.

He told the reporter that he grabbed Rondo to prevent him from getting hurt. If that was the case, why on earth did he let Rondo's body go when they were about to land? One answer: TURD.
