Doc Rivers stood by idlely watching as JJ tore into Ray Ray’s decent-but-not-good-enough perimeter D, as a less than strong or quick or big or athletic enough Defender to hold joe Johnson down, individually, once his fire had been lit … when THE answer to this particular NBA Jeaopardy Question was sitting squarely on the Celtic’s bench, in the form of, “Where is James Posey?”

In my book, that’s called … bad NBA Coaching 101.

Ain’t nobody going Super Nova on dudes like Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Gregg Popovich, Chuck Daly, & Red Auerbach.

Yeah, but how many times do Lakers fans see this against a good team like the C’s?

That said, I love Joe Johnson, and it’s about time he decided to make his mark on this one.

the crossover is deceptive. If you look closely Pewe trips over the back of Johnsons foot, thats what pulls johnson off balance and makes powe sit down.

Can we say joe johnson went kobe?

I am admittedly a laker fan (dodges rocks) and I can’t help comparing it to kobe bryant suddenly deciding to just f*** everyone and take over the game.

Can Garnett get suspended for this? I thought you can’t in any way touch NBA officials. I’m sure the league doesn’t want to suspend him, and rightfully so, but I was under the impression this kinda stuff might be automatic.

If you were watching, they showed David Stern and the crowd made a collective “whoah!” noise. I wonder if this was it.

Oh man, that crossover was absurd.
