Dirk only gets called for blatant fouls. My favorite moment of the game by far was when Kevin Harlan said something like, "And Dirk jumped up in the air and thought he saw one of his teammates open on the other side of the floor, but it was only a ref!" after he threw it away. I thought to myself, "Are they not one in the same?" It seems like it sometimes.

Weird I thought we came away with some home cooking with the fouls overall tonight. A clear edge for us but nothing that wouldn't be overly expected with us being home and them the away team.

Great win though, def great win. This teams are about evenly matched with a slight edge to us based on this game [Harris would abuse Rondo imo.. he's a lot like Rondo except much more polished]

Anyone else loves the fact that the Future All-Star Rajon Rondo ripped that ball away from that scrub dirk to get the lay-up?

Another win as expected against an "Elite" Team.

Who's the next team to get beaten by the Celtics?

LOL that sucks. I am not sure the celtics have ever played on a Tuesday and Thursday in the same week so I can see why you thought the game was on Friday.

Yeah, I managed to see the last 17 seconds at least. I only realized because I came on the board and saw a ten page game thread. I was thinking "Man, there must be some troll war... Oh S&*T the game's on now!"

Well I'm glad I was wrong.

your sarcasm detector is faulty, you might want to check out Barkley's comments about Rondo (by way of saying that Stoudamire would start for the celtics) and get less panty twisted about the obvious Dirk misrepresentation.

Ha! Barkley has been known to be damaging to a person's intelligence level, most people feel dumber after listening to him :)
