Eddie House was one of Boston's heroes in a Game 2 rout of the Magic. Still, Jeff Goodman is less than impressed by the Celtics.

Let me first say I respect Eddie House for keeping his cool. It is the playoffs and he is very important to the success of the Boston Celtics so retaliation would have been the wrong move. Now that I got that BS out of the way: COME ON MAN!!!!!!!

The Lakers/Rockets game on Wednesday night was notably physical. While the Celtics/Magic wasn’t as physical, they still had their moments. The standout moment was when Rafer Alston hit Eddie House in the back of the head with an open-handed slap. Alston claims House provoked it by throwing an elbow his way (which [...]

You know, for a guy who is relevant only because he had the good fortune to play with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen, Eddie House talks and gesticulates a lot. He has more Damon Jones in him than I'd like to see.That said, this interview was awesome.

Rajon Rondo had a gleam in his eye and fire in his belly Wednesday night as he recorded his third triple-double of the Post Season and helped the Boston Celtics defeat the Orlando Magic 112-94. The Green Team shot a red hot 51.3% (41-80) from the floor for the game. Eddie House led the scoring [...]

Another look at Rafer Alston slapping Eddie House. In my opinion, anything less than a suspension is complete BS. But as I read over the league rules, there appears to be a loophole.According to the rule book, a technical foul shall be assessed for unsportsmanlike tactics such as:
A deliberately-thrown elbow or any attempted physical act with no contact...

The Celtics rebounded nicely from their game one loss to the Orlando Magic with an entertaining 112-94 blowout win in game two, evening the series at a game apiece. Eddie House came off the bench to score 31 points for the Celtics, who saw captain Paul Pierce only play 15 minutes due to foul trouble, scoring [...]Post from: Boston Sports Media Watch

Well that didn't last long.
If you had hopes of the Celtics riding the high of a game seven win over Chicago and coasting to an easy game one win over Orlando, you're probably not in a good mood right now.
The Magic did, well, what the Magic do. Shooting 27 three-pointers and making 9 of them, the Magic were able to build a pretty sizable lead before the Celtics came storming...

This was no Eddie House/Rafer Alston altercation. This was war. These two plays define the series:
Derek Fisher KOs Scola:
Scola popped Derek Fisher in the head and drew some blood. Fisher decided to be the anti-Eddie House and retaliate. I must say if you are going to retaliate don't be a punk about it. I guarantee you that Scola respects Derek Fisher now. This is ridiculous...

It just always amazes me how quickly fans can turn on their teams. I don't remember seeing Celtics fans being that caustic toward the Celtics even during that 18 game losing streak a couple of years back. Magic fans are just brutal toward their team when they start to lose or play poorly. I just loved the Superman to Superdog pictures. These are definitely more fun to gather...

If I had told you Paul Pierce was going to score 3 points in just 15 minutes, yet the Celtics would destroy Orlando 112 - 94, you'd have thought I'd gone Paula Abdul crazy.Eddie House was Megan Fox hot tonight: 31 pts, 11-14 FG, 4-4 3FG. He hit some unbelievable shots in this game. He embarrassed Rafer Alston so badly, that Alston snapped and slapped House in the head...

Finding the right head coach and adding some stability to the coaching staff is priority #1 for the Sixers.
Not Andre Miller. Not trading Samuel Dalembert. Not smacking some sense into Lou Wiliams like Rafer Alston did to Eddie House. Not locking Andre Iguodala, Thad, Lou and Willie Green in a gym for 3 months with Tom Nordland, Dave Hopla, Mark Price, Herb Magee, Rick Torbett...

Green-House EffectEddie House torches Orlando for 31 points; Celts even series A captain got some much needed rest. A point guard notched his 3rd triple-double in the playoffs. And a House caught fire. All this and an open-handed slap to the head were part of tonight's Game 2. Coming off a disappointing game 1 loss, the Celtics rebounded to blow out the Magic 112-94 in Game 2...

Stu Jackson is a busy man today. He’s responsible for reviewing the
tape and doling out the suspensions and fines, if necessary.
Apparently, he’s looking at four different plays
from last night’s action: Rafer Alston’s slap to the back of Eddie
House’s head, Derek Fisher’s premeditated shoulder block on Luis Scola,
Kobe Bryant’s flying elbow to the neck/chest of...
