Fighting shouldn't be allowed in either, but I think it's a little obvious why it's allowed in one and not the other.

Nice to see Nance stringing together some solid minutes. I'm still a believer.

Since that scuffle Cavs on 5-0 run with 3 or 4 stops in a row.

Lebron has to play with more urgency, hasnt been dominant in Boston.

The NBA has been trying to get rid of its "thug" identity for years and cutting down on that kind of plays is one of their main strategies. It's weird though, in a black dominated league like the NBA most people see it as thug behaviour yet in the white dominated NHL it's "part of the game".

A lot of Boston's important players are young/inexperienced and aren't quite ready to bring the same focus/intensity on the road as they do at home IMO.

Fighting with sticks is more dangerous than bare hands imo

I think the technical was called for a) standing over Nance and taunting him, and b) the reaction forearm. Those types of things are often called. Who knows, though? You could be right and this may be the NBA's first instance of calling a technical on someone for being shoved.
