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 while they wrestled for a loose ball, and Vujacic said afterwards that he thought it was on purpose.
"They (Boston) foul a lot. They get away with a lot of fouls," Vujacic said. "When we go back to Boston, we know that they are going do a lot of moving picks like they do, and they're probably going to get away with it.
fter Sam forced the jump ball, Sasha wouldn't let go and neither would Sam and the much older (and somewhat wiser) Sam held his ground as Sasha hit the floor. For some bizarre reason, Sasha stayed on the floor for a minute or so. He wasn't hurt. Maybe he was just trying to keep from crying again.
But, it's not like Sasha doesn't play a little rough himself.. After pulling Ray Allen down going for a rebound, he tried a scissor move to try to trip Ray up as he got up and moved away. Maybe he should try a nice non contact sport where he won't get fouled or poked or pushed. It seems he can dish it out, but isn't able to take it.
