I am really tired of the accusations that the Celtics
are the dirtiest team in the NBA.  Allow me to list a
few of my top choices for players who qualify:

	Malone, Erving
	Grunfeld
	Shelton
	Olajawon
	Molkeski (sp?)
	Ivarone (sp?)
	Rambis, Cooper

This is only the beginning of a list that would include
half the players in the NBA.
The point is that basketball is not the prissy, sissy game
that many of you fans (Lakers) would like to see.  If I want
to watch players hit outside shots all day I could go down
to my old high school and watch the girls team play.
Finally, I hope that the Celtics - Sixers series is putting
to rest the notion that the Celtics are a protected team.
In game 4 the Celtics were called for 4 technicals while
Ainge fouled out.  In game 2 Malone took a kniption (sp?)
fit at the refs and he was not given a technical.  As a 
matter of fact, the refs love to give fouls to McHale, Parish
and Ainge.  Granted, Ainge deserves most of them.
I hope I live long enough to see Malone foul out of a game
(of course the refs will probably only do that if the Sixers
are up by 30 points with 2 minutes left to play).

P.S.  How about a technical foul for Barkley hanging on the rim?
