I'm surprised the league didn't ban Bonner after he put KG on his ass.
One man and one many only will stand up to KG. He is....The RedBull.
Hawks are getting into the Celtics head.

Farhan, AL: How come when Dirk gets tapped on the cheek and doesn't retaliate, he's torn apart for being soft, but when KG gets punked out by ZAZA FREAKING PACHULIA, he's lauded for keeping his cool? Seriously, this is the 2nd or 3rd time KG's been punked out. Remember Anthony Peeler in the 2004 playoffs? Dirk's NOT soft....anyone that's watched this series will tell you he's the only Mav who's shown up.
SportsNation Bill Simmons: (1:43 PM ET ) Very good point and I can't think of a good counter. It's not Dirk's fault that Dallas is blowing this series... although they'd have a better chance with Harris and Diop against the Hornets, I will say that.
Probably neither of the guys who stepped onto the court will be suspended. Suns fans seem to be unable to differentiate between stepping forward and sprinting onto the court past the coach's box. I doubt the league will have the same problem.
KG's not getting suspended. If they were up 3-0 then maybe. At 2-2, there's just no chance. That KG didn't get an extra T and get thrown out is shocking enough. The league is too busy making sure to get tapes of everything Bruce Bowen does.
Bonner owns Garnett.
On what ing planet does that pass for KG "keeping his cool"?
He didn't even answer the question!
Since Garnett didn't even get ejected, I can't imagine he'll get suspended, even though I would think he should. Am I misremembering--didn't David Robinson once get thrown out for accidental contact with a ref, possibly Steve Javie?
Somebody upthread mentioned Duncan having been ejected--perhaps I'm thinking of the same event.
EDIT: Ok, I did remember it semi-correctly--David got kicked out for accidental contact with official Bennie Adams (not Javie) during a game against the Trail Blazers in March, 2000.

The only silver lining to this terrible season for us is that Dirk has managed to somewhat redeem himself, and I didn't think that was possible. Those who understand how these things work know Dirk is a terrific talent and isn't soft.He didn't even answer the question!
We're in a bit of a tough spot, almost similar to the Wolves and KG: Dirk is going to turn 30 this summer and has about 3 years left of his prime, tops. He's been in the league since he was 19, so there's a lot of miles on his odometer. Do we have the assets to get him a competent supporting cast before his skills begin to erode? We don't have a lot of draft picks, we have no cap space for the immediate future, therefore we can only get better through trades. And other teams are not going to take our garbage in exchange for their diamonds. You have to give to get, and usually trades are only lateral movements.
I'd also say that much to my chagrin, the Kidd trade is going to haunt this franchise for years because of the cap implications. We're going out in the first round with him, which was pretty much the ceiling with Harris and Diop, and are we better? No, we're not, and our cap situation is much worse. Even when Kidd's contract comes off the books, we'll still be way over the cap. In order to make it work with Kidd, they need more athletic finishers. From a moneyball perspective, Devin Harris is the more desirable asset.

Kidd would have been the perfect guard to defend Baron last year and Devin would have been better to guard Chris Paul this year imo. It was bad timing.
Garnett better get ing suspended or David Stern is a freaking tool for suspending mavs players for far less. Stern.
the celtics have weak mentalities. starting from their big 3. They let any scrubby team get into their heads (Philly, Wizards and now ATL)
after last night I am 100% sure they will NOT win a championship this year.
it will be Lakers or Spurs
KG should get suspended, punk ass .... But probably won't, considering he didn't get thrown out of the game, and the series is 2-2.
Celtics a championship team my ass.
Its funny what is going on with the Celtics, they get hyped up by the media all year, talk all year, showboat all year and as soon as my Hawks choose not to back down the Celtics begin to fold. What a joke, imo if we win this series this is worse than what happened to the Mavs last year. The Mavs weren't able to beat the Warriors for a long time before the playoffs even started, the Celtics however have been owning us all season and as soon as we start showing heart they begin to crumble. Lets GO Hawks!
If the Hawks get past Boston, it will go down as the biggest choke in the history of professional sports. Even bigger than the Yankees choking 3-0 in '04
Or the INVINCIBLE 2003-2004 Lakers featuring Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton.
Kevin Garnett should definitely be suspended a game for blatantly shoving an official during an altercation. Sam Cassell should also be suspended for trying to get involved and stirring up more .
If at least KG isn't suspended, its bull .
Man, this postseason was supposed to be one for the ages, and it's almost living up to the hype but in the wrong places. Phoenix/SA and Dallas/NO were going to be 7 game slugfests with so many individual story lines that the nation couldn't help but fall in love with one of these small market teams and meet LA in the conference finals to monster ratings. Instead both series could end in 5 tonight. Meanwhile Detroit and Boston are staying afloat, and if Stu and Stern do their damn jobs Atlanta might be in position to go up 3-2. (They won't. On top of that look for the Celtics to foul out every last player the Hawks put on the floor in games 5 and 6.)
Of course Stern will not suspend Garnett, even though he should he won't. David Stern continues to up series every year. 2006- Mavs vs Heat(Dwade gets freethrows any time he is breathed on, ends up shooting 97 freethrows in 6 games)
2007- Amare and Boris Diaw suspended for leaving bench, suns lose pivotal game
2008- Garnett completely shoves ref which should be a suspension but Garnett plays for the almighty CELTICS so he gets a free pass. Keep up the good work Stern, more and more people will continue to realize how much of a joke you are turning the Nba into. Nothing New with Stern.
After rewatching that video it becomes evident what a little KG was. When the first hits the fan he lets the ref push him back nearly to half court with zero effort. Then once there's half a dozen guys holding everyone back and there's no chance of a fight, that's when he starts acting all tough and pulling his, "Let me at 'em, let me at 'em!" routine. He didn't want no Zaza.
Sorry, but that fails. Because Phoenix HAD A DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD in that game and choked it away. They were working the Spurs and couldn't finish.
And as far as KG, has game 5 started? At least wait until KG plays the next game before you reduce yourself to conspiracy theories.
He didn't just bump the ref, he grabbed him and moved him out of the way.
