Did anyone get the feeling this kid was really trying to hurt some one.  Before he got the "T" I was watching him push Perk hard under the defensive glass.  I'm glad Vinnie pulled him out.  I know he has had character issues in the past, and was reminded that of his reckless play.  Did anyone see that, or was it just normal competitive passion????

I thought he pushed BBD? And Those two are supposed friends.  That doesn't look like a healthy friendship to me.

I believe it was Davis he pushed and I would have to wonder if he was trying to get himself hurt?

Yea, I don't know if he was TYING to hurt someone, but he pushed BBD, threw Ray to the ground, I think and a few other things. He cercainly got sand in his vagina along the way somewhere.

He pushed BBD back after the dunk attempt, but he also push Perk on the pervious play, which I thought the refs let slide.....I just say a storm brewing....Im nervous this kid will hurt someone???

I don't think Thomas is a meanspirited guy who'll try to hurt someone.  He's just very emotionally immature and easily frustrated.  Remember the game earlier this year when he took like 8 awful shots in about 3 minutes because he kept missing?  I'm not worried about him blowing up on someone, and he becomes much less effective when he gets worked up like that.

He's not going to try and intentionally hurt anyone other than Perkins. He blatantly gave Perk a Dampier-esque verbal warning (which the camera's caught beautifully) when he said "you better watch out/watch your back". I was surprised the refs let that comment slide. I wonder what he would have done had his teammates and a ref not come between him and Perk. I mean since Perk would have him as an appetizer I say bring it on.

I don't think he was purposefully trying to hurt anyone, but you could tell he was frustrated.  But one instance where he definitely overreacted was yelling at Perk.  For one thing, it's stupid because Perk would break him in two.  But anyway, Perk only did what he did because Noah was grabbing on his arm after the whistle like the little female dog that he is.

I blame Kevin Garnett. The Celtics are a dirty, classless team.

Really?  Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.  I wouldn't exactly call guys like Ray Allen, Leon Powe, among others dirty and classless.

No, not really. I was just making my best Fanhouse blogger impersonation. If it was a Celtics player behaving the way Thomas did, we'd never hear the end of it.

Thomas was no worse than Perk on Perk's bad days.
