in Anderson Vaejao, Cavs, Celtics, McManamon, Ray Allen

No wonder Varejao was angry.

Andy showed great restraint in holding back kneeing Allen's smug face right off the planet. If the league office doesn't look at THIS video and fine or suspend Ray Allen, then the league has no function whatsoever and should just close up shop today.

I'm not a big fan of elbowing a guy in the plums, but I'm also not a big fan of actors who do that "my arms are held high in the air, I didn't do a thing, I was just standing there" routine.

But really, that must not have been much of an elbow. That, or Varejao is either an Egyptian eunuch or Mrs. Doubtfire's sister, because on any normal male that would have at least caused a twinge. Instead, no physical response whatsoever. I mean, that is even more reliable than the test when you go to the doctor for a physical, and he taps your knee with that little metal hammer thingie. If your knee doesn't respond, then you're either paralyzed or dead.

Pat, that editor of yours should take time off from ordering everybody and their mother to blog and twitter, and instead direct George Thomas do some serious after-shower locker room research. Something ain't kosher here.

that clip cracks me up. sure, andy tossed ray allen to the ground. but ray is built like a toothpick. i'm surprised his arm didn't snap in half after cracking varejao's cup. what a chump.

ray knows his chances of being a major factor against the cavs is slim to none. that's why he's mad. pierce is going to have to pull a jordan to get through the east because garnett's one knee isn't going to be much help.

wilbon just claimed that allen was just trying to get up on pti.

un-fn-believeable.

when you've made tony kornholer the voice of reason it's time to find a new gig.
