    Hello darkness, my old friend
    A Boston athlete could murder someone you love and you'd defend that athlete desperately, JE. ;)

    You're capable of being rational, just not when it comes to athletes on your favourite teams.

    After qualifying it with "funny as hell." ;) Face it, JE...you can't bring yourself to be critical of an athlete from your favourite team without trying to make it seem a little bit positive.

    So the fact that I admitted and acknowledge that this was a dumb move by Ray is cancelled by me getting a chuckle of athletes throwing elbows to someone's balls? lolk

    That's rather harsh. One incident of losing his temper doesn't negate the fact he has always been a class act. Besides, why did Varajao feel the need to toss him like that? Up by 20 and he feels the need to punk out a smaller player?

    I didn't say anything about canceled out. All I'm saying is that you're not terribly rational about Boston players. "That was awesome!! But he shouldn't have done it." Yes...very rational stand. lolzzzzzzz

    It does when that "once incident of temper" is a pretty vicious, violent act. It's cool that Varejao is apparently invincible, but how would you have enjoyed someone driving their elbow hard into your crotch? Would you say "He's still a class act...he just made a single (painful for me!) mistake"? ;)

    I think RayRay just wanted to ensure the league makes certain he is not really a WNBA player before the playoffs...

    Revert back to being a .500 team? The two seasons before Allen and KG were there they had won 24 games and 33 games. How is that .500? Face it, the Celtics would be nothing without those two players. Funny how winning one championship makes a person forget about how shitty their favorite team was. Of course, most Celtics fans weren't fans of the Celtics in 04, 05, and 06.

    How does Ray Allen not get thrown out? Don't the officials watch the replay for these? Also, any chance a fine and a suspension coming for Allen from the commissioner?

    Boston has 2 more games.

    Seeing the replay it's clear he will be unable to argue that it was anything other than a deliberate elbow to the groin and I assume Allen will be suspended for 2 games. :tsktsk:

    that's true for every player in the world! anyone could score more while taking a hit in efficiency, a great player takes more shots while maintaining his FG%.
    Boston fans = :crazy:

    no doubt. I like Ray, and root for Boston at least some of the time, but dude earned some pine time.

    I guess Varejao wears a cup. In which case, it must've hurt Ray pretty badly.
