Celtics, Hawks escape punishment for skirmish, leaving bench

F*CK STERN!!!

ALTHAM, Mass. -- The Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks escaped discipline for a Game 4 skirmish in which Kevin Garnett pushed off a referee while players on both benches stepped onto the court.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Tuesday there would be no fines or suspensions. Four technical fouls resulted in a game Atlanta won 97-92 to tie the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

The confrontation started when Garnett cleared out Zaza Pachulia with an elbow, and the Hawks forward went forehead-to-forehead with the Celtics star. A referee grabbed Garnett, but he, too, got a push as Garnett struggled to break free.

Celtics center Kendrick Perkins and Atlanta forward Marvin Williams acknowledged they stepped onto the court as they strained to see what was going on. Such actions are barred in the NBA, especially with commissioner David Stern looking on.

Alright it's official. Stern and Popovich are officially blowin eachother.

How can someone AKNOWLEDGE that they stepped on the court and not have a suspension levied against them?!

Absolutely pathetic.

This is Boston they will do anything in their power to make this a playoff team that could go to the championship. The funny thing is Boston isnt that good they just play in the east... Your local high school could win a game or two in that conference.

Robert Horry was suspended for the same forearm as Garnett threw

This is a pathetic! Stern is a Hypocrite! Can't wait until the All-Star Game next year cause that'll be the next time Stern shows his face in Phoenix.

The NBA is a joke as long as this tool continues to be the commish. I hope somebody knees this **** in his tiny knads at next years all star game. He literally looks like an absolute idiot right now that's the good thing I guess.

how old is STERN? waiting for him to die!!!!!!!!!!!

Stern can't hear you, he has his head up Stu Jackson's pussy.

Wow.

Where "Corruption" Happens.

gotta love the politics of this crap. We all know he wants a lakers, celtics final.

STERN SHOULD STEP DOWN AND RESIGN!!!!!

WHAT AN ABSOLTE MOTHER EFFIN JOKE!

EFF THE NBA EFF STERN, EFF THIS BULL ISH,

ALL SUNS FANS SHOULD BE READY TO THROW UP OVER THIS TOTAL FARCE

YOU ARE A JOKE STERN AND I CANT WAIT TILL THE ALLSTAR GAME NEXT YEAR, LETS SEE IF YOU GET OUT OF ARIZONA ALIVE YOU FAT PIECE OF CRAP

This is truly a disappointing day as a Suns fan. I thought they would at least suspend Perkins and Williams for sure, but I guess this is what happens when you have a pair of clowns running the show.

Perkins and Williams CLEARLY stepped into the court. Boris freakin' Diaw took 3 steps ON THE SIDELINE and are suspended by THE LETTER OF THE LAW. F this. This league is rigged.

This is blatant manipulation, folks.

We were f**ked - bottom line.

Wow KG must give great head.

well the trick is, Stern loves the 1' in the pink, 3 in the stink.

My very first thought on this topic: do we actually need a new thread to realize/agree upon the fact that this Goddamn moddaf'n bastard sucks?!
It's definitely not like we needed another proof for this, but, of course, he once again delivered one.

In other sports you at least stick to those lousy ridiculous rules you came up with (like getting punished for taking off your jersey after scoring a goal in soccer), but obviously in the NBA it all depends on whether Mr. Stern likes or dislikes the team in question - awesome, just awesome. What an embarrassment this guy is

Oh, and since the regular season is over and I can root for them again: GOOO HAWKS!
