Celtics Fans Apparently Afraid of Physical Basketball Links6
As section214 noted in his recap from the arena , the game was a bit chippy. There was more jawing than action, I'd say, though Tony Allen gave Dahntay Jones a huge forearm shiver and Mikki Moore absolutely destroyed Rajon Rondo on a "block attempt."

... Counters Kings' blog Sactown Royalty: The world does not revolve around the Celtics. They are not a flock of untouchable clergymen. If they want flap their gums at Ron Artest and Francisco Garcia, they will receive gum-flapping in return. This was all just a really long way of pointing out the subtle reasons most of the country dislikes Boston sports fans. I really like CelticsBlog -- I'd consider Jeff Clark a very good blogfriend. But when I see silly headlines like [The Queens Get Chippy], I want to punch someone in the nose. That moniker was stupid and played out in 2002. ...

... access to the Internet at random, sporadic times. For example right now I'm at a public library. There is a guy staring at me, who may or may not be homeless, making me wonder if I should use my full 30 minutes. I'm also feeling a lot less good about this public keyboard. Another downside to this limited access is that I have fallen way behind what is going on with other NBA blogs.

Wow I ...
