NBA Investigating Boston Players After Loss to Knicks

Paul Pierce's unacceptable behavior in grabbing Jamal Crawford's chin is under review by the NBA as is Tony Allen's shoving, the Boston Globe reports.

According to an NBA official, the league didn't announce any review yesterday of the film of the Celtics-Knicks game Monday night, which included physical incidents involving most notably Paul Pierce, as well as Tony Allen. The official also said there is no timetable for any such announcement on whether there will be punishments. One reason the NBA might not be in a rush is because the Celtics don't play a regular-season game until Nov. 2 against Washington.

The incident involving Pierce occurred when teammate Ray Allen fell hard after being fouled by New York's Jamal Crawford with 4:55 remaining in the third quarter of Boston's 94-87 loss. Allen's teammates immediately rushed to his defense, with Pierce grabbing Crawford's chin. Tony Allen later seemed to push Knicks guard Nate Robinson after they got tangled up in the fourth quarter.
IMO, the guy that the NBA needs to take a hard look at is Scalabrine whose clumsy thuggishness marred the Sixers/Celtics game at the Mohegan Sun and continued into the Knicks contest.

I have nothing against physical play on the court but the penny-ante assaults that second-stringers like Scalabrine bring to the floor injure first-string veterans.

Pierce and Boston will not become champions by being immature on the court and that's why many experts are picking the Knicks ahead of Boston. Pierce, Garnett, and Allen are being hailed as The Big Three but the Celtics are like a three-legged stool whose third leg can't carry the weight. All the PR in the world can't disguise poor sportsmanship.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
