From his postgame comments about miami's play. I'm not complaining one way or the other about this, I'm just confused at what the difference is between "physical" and "chippy"? I have no idea. Any thoughts?

Chippy is less physicality and more trying to get under the persons skin... I think.

Celtics' turn on switch for the playoffs: the last bastion of hope for battered Celtic fans.

Celtics are chippy too..
but when the other team gets all the calls,
you can't be chippy.

thanks for the replies, it makes a little more sense, but I'm still a bit unclear on the use of the term I guess

Physical is like, shoulders flying all over the place, hard fouls, lots of players going down. Chippy is like, lots of trash talk, personal fouls, etc.

I don't know about anyone else, but this team seems really angry about this loss and how it panned out. If they put their intensity towards their play, I would hate to play an angry Celtics team.

it's about time they got angry, I mean, it sure takes a lot to get these guys amped up for playoff games considering this is their last run together and all
