ESPN: Boston 'T' Party

[Allanon]

I've never heard of any guy getting 9 Technicals before Christmas. Maybe the author's right, he's trying to get out of his matchup with Bynum.

:lol


Boston 'T' Party (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-081202)

Earlier this season, Celtics center Kendrick Perkins got the ball down low and took it right to the Pistons' Rasheed Wallace. Sheed seemed amused that the young fellow was so aggressive.

Perkins didn't score on that play, but he's dominating Sheed in another category -- technical fouls. Wallace, who led the league in T's three straight seasons (2005-2007) and had a staggering 41 in 2000-01, has been Little Lord Fauntleroy so far this season with "only" four Ts.
Perkins, meanwhile, picked up technical foul No. 9 during a win Monday over visiting Orlando. He earned it when a call went in his favor -- a goaltend by Dwight Howard.

That's how you get a league-leading total (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/statistics?stat=nbafouls&league=nba&sort=techs&order=true&season=2009). If he gets to 16, he'll be due a one-game suspension. At this rate, he could have a vacation just in time for Christmas Day matchup with Andrew Bynum and the Lakers.

Perkins is just part of a Boston T party.

The Celtics lead the league in techs (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/statistics?stat=teamstatmisc&sort=techs&league=nba&season=2009&seasontype=2&avg=pg&order=true&split=0).

Perkins is trying to look tough.....its not working

[Thunder Dan]

it was funny last year when they played the Cavs, Mr. Cavalier Austin Carr kept saying how now that they are good they need to cry about getting every call, he was saying how big of babies the whole team was now that Garnett came there. He was also talking shit about their color guy that spends the whole broadcast bitching about fouls called on the Celtics, and how in his eyes they never commit fouls.

I remember him saying "see you bring in a superstar and you turn last year's worst team into a team full of primadonna superstars. Perkins forgets that nobody knows who he is, he isn't going to get any calls"

Kendrick is not going to have fun Friday night against GO. I predict another "T".

There's "championship swagger" and then there's just being an asshole. 9 techs this quick is being an asshole.
