  Is he not right though? You can say he's complaining all you want, but he has a point. He did get hit by Cassell right in front of a ref. James Posey pushing people well after the play is over, Paul Pierce faking fouls and then diving on Luke Walton. And those are just a few from the last game. I love KG and think Ray Allen is a very good player but I can't respect a team that plays the way they do. I would do it too if the refs were calling it in my favor and I'm not putting the blame on the Celts. I'm just saying no team that plays sometimes too rough defense and way too soft offense doesn't earn my respect.

  Dude, that had to be the saddest excuse for a flop I've ever seen. There is NO way Sam did that, period. He was on the ball 10)% of the time, it was 100% obvious he faked that, and it was pathetic.
  
  And no one wants to hear about foul faking. Kobe has mastered this, I'm not quite sure how you can complain about fouls when kobe shoves people out of his way on a constant basis with no calls. Gasol is just as bad. Get a grip dude.

  I can't believe there are people here that actually back up Sasha Vujacic!
  
  and DIVING on Luke Walton? he tripped over him.

    It's strange to me that Sasha is looking for sympathy here when he's known for being a pest. Carmelo, for example, has no love for him. I don't have an exact quote, but when Melo got kicked out of a game for trying to choke Vujacic, I remember him saying something about Sasha being a dirty player. Melo isn't the only player that dislikes him - Manu Ginobili isn't much of a fan either.
    • whitejordan32 replied June 19, 2008

      Manu shouldn't be bitching. Actually if you would watch as an unbiased fan and not some "The world is against me" Boston fan, you will see that after the whistle, Pierce just laid down on Walton with no contact. I don't back Sasha, I back what I see is right unlike some people
• BirdsFan536 said June 17, 2008

  im not backing up one player...i think the celtics play like bitches...they are so dirty with all the things they do i dont respect them one bit.....how bout PJ Brown instigating with Farmar..i mean come on your a veteran show some respect....and sam cassell had to act like a tough guy not only holding his ground he had the ball secure and after the jump ball was called he flung vujacic down....the celtics think they have so much swag because they picked up garnett and hes the nucleus of this team...these players all SUCKED alone now they can walk around like they own the NBA because they are a small part of a team who works around 3 players...posey house cassell and brown all should be ashamed of themselves because any role players could succeed on a team with pierce allen and garnett..SORRY GUYS ITS NOT YOU...ITS THEM!

    if you think farmar's not a trash talking instigator himself then you're sorrily mistaken. EVERY PLAYER on that court is talking trash.
  • ddumont replied June 18, 2008

    wait a minute, are you telling me Sasha didn't flop and then laid down on the floor for an extra 10 seconds pretending he was hurt?
    
    you're saying KG, Pierce, and Allen all sucked when they were alone? They didn't have the help around them, and individually they are all great players.
    
    Kobe had Shaq, Duncan had Parker, Ginobili, Jordan had Pippen, Bird had McHale and Parrish and DJ.........one guy can't do it all by himself
    
    That was clear this series, Kobe couldn't get it done.
  • sdot35 replied June 18, 2008

    OKAY AND? WHO IS ON THE LAKERS THAS SO BAD? UHM LAST TIME I CHECKED THE LAKERS WERE A ONE MAN TIME WITH KOBE BEING THE ONLY PLAYER. BE SERIOUS DUDE. YOU ARE JUST MADD CAUSE THE LAKERS SUCK W/O SHAQ AND YA'LL HATE TO ADMIT IT. KOBE IS WHACK AND SASHA AIN'T A GIRL HE'S A B*TCH. REAL TALK. HOW ARE THE CELTICS DIRTY? KOBE GETS AWAY WITH FOULS ALL DAY LONG. IN GAME 4 HE DID NOT GET A FOUL UNTIL THE 3RD QUARTER. ARE YOU SERIOUS. MICHEAL JORDAN WAS THE BEST NBS PLAYER AND EVEN HE WOULD COMMIT FOULS BEFORE THE 1ST HALF WAS OVER. THAT IS WHY YOUR TEAM DESERVED TO LOSE. THEY SUCK AND I HOPE THEY NEVER WIN ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP WITH OR WITHOUT BUM ASS KOBE.

    Yeah we saw the Machine step aside an let Ray Allen Reign down threes all night Game 6. The Machine better learn how to play defense someday.
• Bulldozer32 said June 18, 2008

  For anyone to defend this guy is insanely irrational and knows nothing about basketball. Almost like Sasha himself. Ray Allen (in the SAME mold as Rip Hamilton and Reggie Miller) will runn off of 3-4 single and double screens to shake you. It is crazy that Sasha (while hiolding Ray round his waist) was discarded, Ran around a double pick...Sasha tried (aimlessly) to cheat over the top (an insanely dumb move on one of the NBA's greatest jump shooters ever) and looked silly. The first rule when in doubt is to trail. That way you can at least contest the shot. If you cheat, you only do if you have a HIGH probability to steal the rock. But it is clear Ray was using his head and Sasha wasn't because as he saw Sasha cheating over the top...Ray drifted further away from the ball after rolling, making Sasha's recovery on the play relatively impossible. Ray just used the dude's emotional vulnerability against him ... and BURNED him for 5 of his made 7 3 pointers. That is bad coaching. That is Phil's bad for noty adjusting to that.

  I honestly think he took acting classes. I swear he does SOMETHING after every shot - flip his body over, grab his eye, etc.

• Phelan43 said July 12, 2008

  Sasha is a kid. He played amazing defense for a kid but come on. That's Ray Allen he was guarding. Not Rajon Rondo. Of course Ray's going to school him like he'd school anyone else. I do think the Celtics got away with murder, fouling, faking fouls, grabbing jersey's (ALOT), and everything else. It looked like they were holding people by there jersey's on every play. I have a DVR. I know they were grabbing. I think Ray was the only one that didn't play dirty. Paul Pierce put on an amazing offensive display but flopped way too many times. I was surprised to see KG punch Francisco Elson between his legs in the playoffs a few years back. He's good but dirty. Sasha will be back. Poor kid has to learn to control his emotions.
