Comments about our being soft from other teams don't bother me. We looked a lot like this last year when we won the title. What bothers me is the lack of payback when some big guy sets a hard pick on Rondo or hits him when he's in the air, or the way Oden knocked Ray into the stands. What's the point of having BBD on the floor if he can't "stumble" into someone some of the time?
Let's also not forget that Allen did a splendid flop on that play. There wasn't much there. IMHO, there wasn't anything to respond to there in a close game.
What David Lee did to Rondo, however, should have been responded to in kind. Tommy was hilarious, but correct in how he talked about that situation.
I didn't see a flop, I just saw Allen lose his balance after pretty average contact...but I agree with your point.
To elaborate on that further, I laughed at Tommy's take but didn't entirely agree with it. I wouldn't retaliate on Robinson...Although his cockiness makes him an irrestable target. I'd retaliate on the guy who did the deed to Rondo.
Hard to argue with Outlaw the way Garnett played in that game.
Let me know what team or player likes to be hit. Portland doesn't that is for sure I remember the game at the Garden and the games last year. I just found this whole article and headline ridiculous because no team like it.
No player likes to be hit. But everybody is complaining about our lack of height. Our tallest, best, and highest paid player is taking 18 footers and running around the perimeter when 2 lesser opponents are embarrassing us in the paint. Sometimes Garnett needs to get in the paint when the opponent has skilled big men.
