i like celts but they arent winning it too old
Nate Robinson had a little trouble getting into the room for the team breakfast yesterday. A security man at the hotel had a difficult time believing the diminutive guard was an NBA player, and Robinson didn’t have ID or his hotel room key. Said Robinson: “I turned to Paul (Pierce) and said, ‘C’mon, tell him I’m with the Celtics.’ And Paul said, ‘I don’t know you.’ The other guys were like, ‘Y’all got to do your job. Get him out of here.’ “He was coming toward me and they all said, ‘No, no, no. He’s with us.’ †Boston Herald

A. Flagrant Foul Rules
There are two types of Flagrant Fouls, as follows:
Flagrant “1†(FFP1) - unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent. The opposing team is awarded two (2) free throws and possession.
Flagrant “2†(FFP2) - unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent. The opposing team is awarded two (2) free throws and possession and the player committing the foul is automatically ejected.
Any player who commits two Flagrant “1†Fouls in the same game will be automatically ejected from that game.
In addition, in order to address the problem of repeat offenders, the following three-point system will be in effect during the 2010 Playoffs:
•Flagrant “1†= 1 point
•Flagrant “2†= 2 points
A player will receive the points set forth above for each flagrant foul committed during the Playoffs. If the player’s Playoff total exceeds 3 points, he will receive an automatic suspension following the game in which his point total exceeds 3 points and for each additional flagrant foul committed during the Playoffs, as follows:
Player at 2 points commits a FFP2: automatic one-game suspension
Player at 3 or 4 points commits a FFP1: automatic one-game suspension
Player at 3 or 4 points commits a FFP2: automatic two-game suspension
Player at 5 points or more commits a FFP1 or FFP2: automatic two-game suspension
Once a player accumulates two (2) points, the League Office will immediately: (i) notify his team by e-mail; and (ii) send the player a letter by overnight mail (with a copy to his Head Coach and General Manager), in each case advising of the player’s current point total and the penalties for any additional flagrant fouls he may commit during the Playoffs.
The League Office will review all flagrant fouls ("1" and "2"), and will have the right, following review, to reclassify a flagrant foul or to classify as flagrant a foul not called flagrant during a game. In addition, the League Office maintains the right to impose a fine and/or suspension upon any player who commits a flagrant foul at any time during the Playoffs (regardless of whether the point levels described above are reached).
The League Office will consider the following factors (as well as any other relevant facts and circumstances) in determining whether to classify a foul as Flagrant "1" or Flagrant "2", to reclassify a flagrant foul, or to impose a fine and/or suspension on the player involved:
1. The severity of the contact; 2. Whether or not the player was making a legitimate basketball play (e.g., whether a player is making a legitimate effort to block a shot; note, however, that a foul committed during a block attempt can still be considered flagrant if other criteria are present such as recklessness and hard contact to the head) 3. Whether, on a foul committed with a player’s arm or hand, the fouling player wound up and/or followed through after making contact; 4. The potential for injury resulting from contact (e.g., a blow to the head and a foul committed while a player is in a vulnerable position); 5. The severity of any injury suffered by the offended player; and 6. The outcome of the contact (e.g., whether it led to an altercation).
Q-Rich got into KG's nerve. If Pierce didn't do his acting to have a short rest it could have not happened. But I thought Pierce was fouled in that play but the refs just let it go so I would really balme it on the refs.
I hope KG doesn't get suspended for it coz Q-rich really initiated the commotion...
KG's suspended for a game, and he deserves it.
You can't use Q's words as an excuse. Guys always talk trash, during the whole game. When you make it physical and throw a punch or an elbow that's going over the line.
totally disagree with it.
the fact that Q was fined $25k shows they should have suspended him too then, what did he get fined for? provocation?
theres no way you can suspend Q for trash talking... otherwise KG would NEVER play a game
totally disagree with it.

I think Q should have been fined more than that coz he was taunting them after the break, smiling while looking towards the celtic bench.
How does that prove that they should have suspended him?
Q got the fine for "taunting" Garnett after Garnett started taunting him.
Garnett got the suspension for throwing an elbow.
Plain and simple.
If Q threw an elbow he would have been suspended too.
It's not rocket science..

I'm pretty sure everyone would have been talking after the break. You're going to fine a guy who is on the opposite side of the court for smiling at the Celtics bench?
Seriously.
He already copped a $25K fine. Like that's not enough..
Yeah why not? I guess thats the only way he can get back the Celtics.
Garnett's penalty is in the rule book so I cant argue that but for someone who's team is losing, Q is a completely total loser...

Either way it was a brain fart from Garnett and shouldn't have happened. Now the Celts are without him for game 2 when they should have him on deck to put the nail in!
not rocket science but not as cut and dry as you make it sound
what did he get fined for?
provocation?
ok well that provoking led to him getting elbowed - leading to a player suspension
game behind the game, he shouldn't be able to cop a $$ fine, negligible to the money he earns as an NBA player
also there was no Garnett taunting him, KG had his back to him looking at Pierce on the floor and Q came up and barked something in his ear.
go back and re watch the vid i suggest
also, Q has a long history of not getting on with Pierce, he was definitely coming over to get involved where he shouldn't have
plain and simple as you say
i think they will still get gm2 without him, get him some rest!
he had a good but not great game1, should be interesting to see!
