Poor Sasha Vujacic. He was the hero of game 3 and then quickly moved to the goat of game 4 as he shot 1-9 for 3 points. He went to the bench during a time out and pitched a temper tantrum after being abused by a considerably older (and wiser) Ray Allen.
The YouTube clip of his tantrum on the bench has now reached almost cut status. Ray obviously abused him on the drive to the hoop and layup with just over 16 seconds left in game 4 and he was crying about it.
Now, we read in the Press Telegram that Vujacic thinks that the Celtics are playing too rough.
"Phil (Jackson) told me after the game that he thought I was a bit emotional. And I think he was right, I didn't manage it right," Vujacic said. "It all started from that poke in the eye (by Celtics guard Sam Cassell). I got a little bit mad because the ref was right there and he didn't call it."
That's not all. Later in the game, Cassell seemed to slam Vujacic down onto the court whi...

Ray Allen's Daughter Diagnosed With Diabetes
Ray Allen left Staples Center immediately after Boston's Game 5 loss to the Lakers Sunday night. Reports are that the Celtics star' quick exit was because his daughter had just been diagnosed with diabetes.
You Stay Classy, Ray Allen!
As many of you now know, I am a big fan of guys that play the game the right way. Guys who respect the game. Guys who truly enjoy playing, and would play the game even if they weren't getting paid. Sure, there are many of these guys in the NBA today, but one guy exemplifies 'class' and how the game should be played.
That guy is Walter Ray Allen, you may also know him...
Kevin Garnett Claims He's Certified; Four Out of Five Sports Psychologists Say He's Certifiable
When you see KG all fired up like he just found out there was a run on the bank holding all his millions, you've got to be impressed. Particularly when you realize his histrionics are the complete antithesis of all the fake, manufactured crap they use to make Kobe seem like a real human being – as opposed to what he really is: a carefully packaged product test-marketed to...
I WILL FEAST ON BLOOD
by Tracer Bullet, Staff WriterI'm not much of one for the NBA. It's great that these freakishly tall would-be felons have a place to go instead of lounging around my neighborhood harassing schoolchildren, but really, who gives a crap? The refs are crooked, the fundamentals are abysmal and the whole thing hasn't been any fun since Sir Charles retired.As such, I don't care at all about...
Another Whiney Laker
Can something get annoying to hear/read, but at the same time be humorous? Well, this "blaming of the officials" that is coming out of Lakers' camp is doing just that. From The Sporting News:
Los Angeles Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic let the Boston Celtics get to him in Game 5, and he says that's because they play too rough, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ray Allen Never Had to Take Last Shot
I remember what a big deal ESPN, and others, had made of the issue once Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen were acquired to team alongside Paul Pierce. If it ever came down to a last second shot, which of the three players would take it? In an ESPN interview during the season, KG [...]
Sasha Vujacic - "The Machine" Pt 2
I can't get enough of these videos. Why doesn't Laker-Fan.com do a video about Sasha Vujacic watching Ray Allen drive by him in game 4. "I am machine. I get toasted by movie star. Machine starts to cry. See, machines have emotions too."

It's a Wraaaaaaaaaap - SEVENTEEN
That just happened. I'm in a complete fog, it could either be the fact that I was up until one-thirty and woke up at six or the fact that the Boston Celtics just completed the single greatest turn around, from one year to the next, in professional sports history.

NBA: Predictions For Lakers-Celtics Game Six Tonight
We all know Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant are playing it cool in front of the press about being down in the series and having to go back to Boston to win two games. That's fine and dandy, but will this laid back spirit translate into some wins?
Of course if Boston...

Thoughts Going Into Game 6
I really wanted the Celtics to close this series out in game 5. I know the fans in Boston are happy to be able to watch them win it on their court, but there are so many factors affecting this team now that may affect the series. Just because a team has never come back from a 3-1 deficit doesn't mean that one never will. I am sure the Celtics don't want to be the only team to lose...

I cover game 6 in 15 bullets.....I suppose I could've done 17, but I didn't. So there Boston fans!
But really, congrats to Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen, PJ Brown, Rajon Rondo, Eddie House...and all those who really deserved a ring.
NBA Finals: Amazing Happens in Boston
Kobe said it wasn't over. Phil said it wasn't over. On behalf of the entire Boston Celtics organization, I ask the Los Angeles Lakers—how do you like these apples?!
On a night in which the phrase used all through the postseason was "Where Amazing Happens," the Boston Celtics gave Red Auerbach a reason to light up that cigar, as they hoisted up championship...

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.
and DIVING on Luke Walton? he tripped over him.
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.
