leflops comments were embarrassing though
After Celtics general manager Danny Ainge called LeBron James' complaints of hard fouls "embarrassing," both LeBron and Heat president Pat Riley fired back.
LeBron's response when asked by reporters Friday was simply, "I'm not surprised to hear anything from Boston."
Riley's response was a bit... stronger. In a statement released through the Heat's PR via the Sun-Sentinel, Riley said of Ainge, "He needs to STFU and manage his own team. He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing. I know that because I coached against him."

Ainge still ain't answered for Pierce swearing up & down he'd not make him come back West in June of '10.
tee, hee.
Hes right, Ainge was a and obviously much hasn't changed.
every player is a really.. not a news flash
Will never side with Ainge over Riles ...but as my awax the OG said in Menace ... "yall both acting like es"
Eh
The Lakers-Celtics rivalry is still alive
I wonder what Riley would have said iif it was Cedric Maxwell who called Lebron out
LOL Ainge only having a job because McHale gave him his franchise guy.
Maybe he'd bring up Cornbread going into the stands after a fan in the Spectrum during the '81 ECF.Eh

Ainge really has no right to talk. He was hands-down the biggest crybaby in the league during his playing days.
Listening the Celtics announcers talking about this right now lol, even tho their homerism is mostly annoying, in this case it was hilarious tbh.
Celtics devastated over wasting Rajon Rondo's 44-point outing, falling 0-2 to Heat

MIAMI – The general manager of the Boston Celtics was trying to understand how LeBron James could get to the free-throw line those 24 times, and so Danny Ainge stood in the hallway recreating a clear-path foul call for the NBA's vice president of referee operations, Joe Borgia. Ainge slid his feet, and tried to show how the Celtics defender had reached around to the Miami Heat star, how they were far too close to the rim for that call.
"How?" Ainge asked him.
They did some kind of a dance here late Wednesday night, Borgia and Ainge, the NBA official delivering his explanation, and Ainge, the ultimate contrarian, challenging the premises. And hey, how could Paul Pierce foul out again? How could the Heat get to the free-throw line 47 times? These were the things on Ainge's mind, and there would be no satisfaction coming out of here for these Celtics, no solace out of an epic effort and a historic performance out of Rajon Rondo. Ainge was persistent, polite and Borgia finally relented that he'd watch the film of the Heat's 115-111 Game 2 overtime victory.
I remember watching some do entary about the NBA's worst floppers and whiners of all time and all the refs and Stern unanimously agreed that Danny Ainge is historically the biggest whiney got of all time. So I completely understand where Al Pacino aka Riley is coming from. Aside from that, Lebron has always taken it up the ass when he loses. It's amazing to me that no matter how dominantly embarrassed Kobe was in 2008, he shook everyone's hands even though they prematurely celebrated in Boston and shook Doc Rivers hands and showed up to the press conference and said I'm proud of our guys.
Lebron on the other hand has always ran home like a when he loses.
Pat Riley showing who the boss is. I still remember Ainge's whinny face in PHX.
Can't disagree with this. Spot on, tbh.
Ainge is a got. I remember him throwing the ball off Mario Elie's forehead when they blew a playoff game in Phoenix
...Horry moved to retailiate and Elie warned him off. Years later Horry ended up here on coach Ainge's bench, tossed a towel right into his kisser and they ran him off...into Los Angeles for Ceballos. Well, the rest is history:::CWEBB turned his back on him in '02 and Horry murdered him on-the-spot.Ainge is a got. I remember him throwing the ball off Mario Elie's forehead when they blew a playoff game in Phoenix

Though you forgot when he sent that got Nash into the scorers' table to just pour salt in the wound.
Or, when Wallace turned his back on him and he too ended up...dead in the ground.
Thank, Christ. That was gettin' too close for comfort.
& they want to blame him for Paxson's 3, but, that's just because he's white and Barkley is black. That was Barkley all the way.
At 1:20 Barkley comes up to play hero:::the dominoes commence to topple:::
Man Barkley screwed up big time
If he didnt go for the steal, he may have retired with a ring
I've never seen anyone hold on to nostalgia like you and mention it at every opportunity. It's the sign of a man who's given up on progress.
