Richardson scheme will not work

[Chris]

He certainly made this series more interesting, that's for sure.  I always hated this Heat team.  Wade is painful to watch at times, because of the way the refs coddle him (although they didn't on Saturday), and Richardson and O'neal are two of my least favorite players in the league.  Both of them have had numerous run-ins with the C's, and this is just another. 

I think Richardson just jacked the intensity of this series up a couple notches.  I would be shocked if Pierce doesn't come out fired up, and I have a feeling guys like Perk and Davis will also have a major chip on their shoulders.  This just went from a potentially boring first round series to a potentially explosively entertaining one.

O'neal and Richardson are two of my least favorite players also.  Can't stand O'Neal.  Add in Sheed and my three least favorite players are in this series.

Yeah this might have went from a long series to a short one.  I'm going with short.

While he was certainly successful at his (planned or un-planned) attempt to get one of our starters in trouble, I don't think it took anything approaching "brilliance" to do so.

[Greenbean]

I really can't stand the guy, but I have to say he accomplished something for his team by getting under KG's skin.  In that way, it is a Laimbeer/Rodman type of thing.  If one of our guys got under Wade's skin and caused him to throw a punch, we would all be saying how great that is.

He's a punk that's been jealous of Piece since they came in the league.  Nothing more nothing less.  He got what deserved in a Karma sort of way.  You are really off base.

He is a punk, I agree.  But as far as Karma, nothing happened to him.  Something happened to KG.

Nothing heppaened yet...It's a long series. I have a strong feeling Pierce is going to embarass Q tomorrow...with his play.

Q got KG to inadvertantly elbow him in the face. I guess it worked but he also might have just lit a fire under a hyper competitive scorer and a hyper compeptitve defensive wizard. It's one thing to do the in game trash talking and try to get under a teams skin that way. The Celtics are the best at that game. When you go to the media and call the opposing team's two best players actresses, you are asking for trouble.


There is a reason Q never wins and it has nothing to do with "brilliance".

He did get beneath KG's skin but I think a big part of that was that he was taunting Pierce when he was injured on the ground. I doubt it was have escalated that much otherwise.

I just want the players to go about their business and ignore him the rest of the series and leave the trash talking and stuff to the crowd. He's not worth more Ts or suspensions to our players. His actions and post-game comments exposed him for the pathetic loser he is. He's an idiot and punk whose only relevance to me is to keep O'Neal from running away with the title of most hateable guy on that team.

Exactly. The best form of revenge is Pierce dropping 40 on him. Then when he starts running his mouth again he can just point to the scoreboard. I want Paul playing for 40 minutes tomorrow night and for Rondo to be looking for him early and often.

QRich and "brilliant" should never be in the same sentence.  "Lucky" would be more appropriate.

One thing that perplexes me about this whole situation is why weren't any of the Heat players suspended for leaving the bench area?  Remember when Amare was suspended a few years back for putting his foot on the court for a split second and then stepping back?

Magloire wasn't in the game and was over there grabbing KG.  KG threw the elbow to get out of the crowd of Heat players.  If it was just QRich and Haslem he wouldn't have needed to scramble to get out of there.

This suspension is bull.
