OT: Why Pierce got Ejected

[Blazer Freak]

I hate the Celtics with passion, but you gotta love it

The douchebaggery out of Florida is overwhelming. I can safely say, even though I hate Boston, that I am rooting for Boston to come out of the East.

Player X's manifesto on trash talk says that you gotta stay off moms. Unless, I guess, you're talking about LBJ's mom, who's ridden like a bus route.
Excerpted from ESPN Insider:

...Trash-talk can go too far fast, though, so there is a code. Off-limit topics: moms, wives, girlfriends, kids. And health. Honestly, I never thought anyone would cross the line to crack on an opponent about a medical condition. But according to Charlie Villanueva, that's what Kevin Garnett supposedly did earlier this season when he called the Pistons forward a "cancer patient." Garnett later claimed otherwise, saying he had called Villanueva -- who's hairless because of a skin condition -- a "cancerous" player.

I don't know who's telling the truth, but I don't care. Garnett is a punk and a coward. I know, I know. Easy for me to say behind this column. Don't worry, I'll tell him to his face, too. And I'm not the only one who thinks that: If you're not on his team, chances are you hate the guy. You can learn a lot about him by watching his eyes. If he's talking to you -- and he's always talking -- he avoids eye contact. My advice to other guys in the league: Stare him down, and he'll retreat. From what I've seen, he'll never mix it up with a player who's bigger than he is. Personally, I think he's scared to fight -- like a playground bully who barks but doesn't bite.

But I have to admit, the Celtics are the most talkative guys in the league. And that makes sense, because it's the mark of a championship team. Mouths help you win big games. Ray Allen got mean in Boston, and Paul Pierce will look at you, say, "Stop this," then drop a J on your head...

From Mr. Crawford: (who wasn't the one who tossed him, it was Ed Malloy)

"It's what we call a verbal taunt," Crawford said. "He directed profanity towards Wade. And in the rulebook, that is a verbal taunt. And it just so happened to be Pierce's second technical foul."

So the moral of the story is, if you direct profanity (as a verbal taunt) toward Dwyane Wade, you get a 2nd technical. If you direct profanity and hate speech towards a referee, you're clear. At least, if your name is K*be.

Honestly, I wished our team had some balls like this. I love the "turning a new leaf, sign gym rats" idea; but we need some thugs. Players the other team and fans hate. We just need 1 maybe 2.

Got to love Miami.... the three who couldn't win anything on their own, now need an extra 10 points a game special delivered from the refs to win a playoff game at home! HAHAHA

The refs honestly created the outcome of that game. It's very sad that two teams can't just play and let the best team win.

Man, PP is a serious shit talker. No wonder that dude got stabbed 11 times.
