Kendrick Perkins technical foul rescinded; will play in Game 6

[Bob Lanier]

There weren't hard fouls both ways because one team was getting called for ticky-tack fouls and getting technical fouls for accidental elbows and the other wasn't.

This, from the person whose favorite insult is to say someone's being "too emotional."

[JamStone]

Yeah, I didn't get the upgrade either.

Consistency by the league. Matt Barnes got a flagrant 1 for pushing KG. Pierce pushed Re after the whistle. To keep it consistent. I don't think it was necessarily a flagrant 1, but considering Barnes got a flagrant 1 for the extra shove, I understand why they upgraded it to be the same.

So where is Howard's multiple flagrant 1's?

$tern has them in a lockbox; they'll be released should Orlando make The Finals

Insult? I never thought about that as an insult, but okay.

Anyway, I was being emotional? Didn't notice that at all.

Which flagrant for Barnes are you talking about?

Yeps, if Pierce gets a flagrant 1 for that, Howard should be out of the next game.

holy christ, the celtics, the dirtiest team out there start crying once another team gets physical with them. the fans are worse. DWIGHTS ELBOW ON KG (WHICH WAS INADVERTENT) got upgraded to a flagrant. Stop whining.

[TampaDude]

They should rescind every tech handed out last night. Ridiculous showboating by the officials.

+1 Joey C and the whistle crew in full effect last night.

If Perkins was on the Mavs or Suns, this would have never happened. However, he plays for the Celtics and Stern wants to over the Celtics and Lakers in the Finals again.
