You know, I just reread the actual comments, and they seem incredibly mild, and it sounds like they were prompted by a direct question (like "it seemed like you guys went out trying to be more physical, was this part of the gameplan?").  I really don't see any problem with those comments, and I am pretty sure the C's would agree with them...and they will just work harder at being the aggressor (which they simply have not been during this road trip).

Yeah, I agree, but its the media outlet posting it as relevant news thats more annoying...outlaw is right and like you said was more than likely answering a question in the postgame

Yeah, sadly, that's the reality of RealGM for ya.  That sort of thing with their headlines actually annoyed me to the point of writing a longer piece about it this summer, and now - dopey as I am - I can't even recall what subject matter it was over.  But I'm with ya on the  >:( sentiment.   :D

I don't like to get hit either.

  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?

Ill agree with this. You dont want to start a fight, but i mean, after oden tossed ray into the stands, i was shocked leon or baby didnt put alitle "OMPH" into a screen on blake.

Hard to argue with Outlaw the way Garnett played in that game.

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.

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.

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.

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.
