No kidding. Woodson is by far the worst coach in the league.

Why are they gushing over Rondo? He's only doing what you expect from an NBA starter. Zero defensive pressure on him for the majority of the game, hasn't done much of anything with Law/Mario on him.

He is a second year player. If you aren't impressed with him then I dont know what to tell you.

Because compared to Bibby, the "veteran with playoff experience," he's playing amazing. Clearly not saying much, considering how poor Bibby looks.

What is the crowd chanting?

I'm glad Bibby thinks losing is something to laugh about.

Bibby is doing nothing defensively, bricking every open shot and making dumb turnovers. If being better than that is worthy of praise then I should look at a future in the NBA.

Well deserved hard foul. Smith had it coming after his foul on Pierce.

I believe it's "Biiii-bbbby."

Bibby really needs to worry alot more about his game and a lot less about the fans. Rondo is just abusing him this series.

Please, if you watch the highlight he went for the ball. The foul on Pierce at the start of the game was much worse if anything.

Looking at the replay, that didn't deserve to be a flagrant foul.

I honestly thought it wasn't that bad a foul. He was clearly going after the ball, and while there was some contact, most of the force that knocked Smith down was the ball going back in his face.

Posey at the very least didn't do anything dirty here. Definitely no need with this score.

I don't care. Posey will always be dirty in my books. Once a dirty player, always a dirty player.
