rondo is a dirty player. print that in a book somewhere folks. refs were on celtics side.

I think it will be Cavs vs. Lakers in the finals, and even though they never beat them during the regular season I think the Cavs will destroy the lakers. And IMO all Celtics' series will go 7 games and I actually think the bulls have a good chance to win their first series ever against the Celtics even with the heart breaking loss today.

I don't think Rondo is necessarily a dirty player, but it's just that he's surrounded by dirty players that tends to rub off on him. Not only that, their assistant coach Tom Thibodeau is notorious for coaching dirty tactics.

all i can say is celtics have been playing dirty ball for a while now. about 2 years and counting. they get away with some many things that it's not even funny.

from last night's game, bulls lost because the refs didn't call a flagrant foul. maybe blood wasn't enough to warrant the foul? after watching the replays, it's def a flagrant foul. going for the ball my ***.

to me, celtics look like punks out there. rondo is now reminding me of matt barnes, a true bondafide dirty player.

Huge +1. Gotta agree with you on this. Personally, I think the Cavs are a lot more dominant than they showed themselves to be in the regular season and I think Mike Brown is very smart for playing it this way.

I can't stand the Celts for many reasons and being dirty is one of them. Another one is seeing KG and his emotional nonsense. He's a freakin psycho and I swear the only word he knows is motherfu----.....lol. It'll be amazing if these defending champs lose in the first round to Chicago.

one thing about the cavs is that they do not have length. LO, Gasol, and Bynum will give them some problems. lebron is probably the only that can get past these guys. lakers bench is better because with the addition of shannon brown who can actually play on both ends of the floor, i don't know if the cavs can handle the lakers' bench. also, LO is on the bench. but the finals is a long ways ahead. lakers will have to get past portland or houston. personally, i think if lakers plays the blazers, it will be a HUGE upset. portland in 6, i'm a die hard lakers fan but i dunno, this young squad ALWAYS gives us huge problems.

I think we'll be okay in the end. We've got enough bigs now that we can get a fresh guy in on Gasol and Bynum every quarter. They aren't the most talented players but they all play their role fairly well.

In the end it will come down to who plays the hardest and who wants it the most. If you think we may not have the length than I think Mike Brown/Cavs did a good job selling it to you.

I do agree with you on Shannon Brown. He's turned out to be one heck of an addition. It can definitely make things harder for our bench.

I think HCA will play a key role in this series. The first two games are the most important in setting the momentum.

This will be a great series to watch.

personally, yes it will be a great series to watch.

but if the lakers can just contain mo williams, it will be another one man show for the cavs. the biggest addition for the cavs was mo williams and he can surely ball with the best of them. but with our big guards in brown and vujacic hopefull we can swarm him down.

If Rondo isn't suspended after that foul on Heinrich then I give up.. He's pulled 3 fouls in the last 2 games that he deserved to be suspended for and has yet to get more than a flagrant 1 for any of them.

BTW, Let's go Mavs.

I hate the Celtics. All I care is that they lose. I hate the Lakers too but ehhhh I could kinda deal with them winning.

Oh well, go Cavs.
