Wouldn't be surprised if we haven't heard the last on this ... not likely that the C's management is gonna stay mum on the subject ... the tapes are most likely on their way to the league office in NYC to Stern's attention from Ainge and Ownership. If Stern announces an egregious mistake by the officials and charges Wade with a technical he will lose his credibility as commissioner.

No way the NBA is suspending Wade. I really hope that no one of the key players is going for sth. stupid. Doc should use his bench once in the Play Offs and knock Wade down. Let Pav or Arroyo get an suspension, they won't play anyway.

Gasthoerer: I agree, I doubt they'll suspend him. But that won't stop me from calling him out. It's still right to call attention to his dirty play. df2: I have never been a big fan of not standing up to authority for fear of reprisal. If complaining about a dirty dangerous player is Canadien like, so be it. Who cares? Rondo deserves his fans to have his back. I do agree our retaliation should be on the score board though.   rcdc: No, I'm not jealous of Dwayne Wade. Yes, the Heat could possibly win in 7 games. Anything can happen. Kamdog: They suspend Dwight Howard all the time. And he's Orlando's only star. They'd be more reluctant to, but I don't see why a suspension isn't possible. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO EMAILED THE NBA TOO! Let your voices be heard to the league, not just fellow Bostonians.

For wht its worth I sent them a message.  It seems like an obvious dirty play watching the re-play but no one in sports media is talking about it, acting as if its completely accidental.

First of all, anybody suggesting that David Stern could give rat's a ss  about the integrity of the game should be immediately rushed to the nearest mental hospital. Secondly, you people sound a little bit like Canadiens fans. Go crying to the league? Yeah that will help. They get enough emails, they might get irritated enough to just hand the Heat game 4. Please, just leave David Stern alone- we don't need him to be annoyed with Celtics fans. He doesn't care what the fans think. Never has and never will. And as far as the cheap shot by Wade, yeah it was a cheap shot. But when people start talking about intent to injure, that is a major stretch and comes off as homerism. All the talk about retaliation is equally foolish. We will retaliate by winning the series and sending the HGH twins back home- where they belong not by stooping to their level and losing focus. Someone, in another thread, accused me of being foolish for having zero fear of the Heat. Well this is prime example of why I'm not afraid of them. I don't fear soft teams in the playoffs. You see, the Heat go out there and play dirty. Because they don't understand the difference between being dirty and having mental toughness. But you better believe the Celtics are going to show them. Paul Pierce will once again prove to be one of the best big game players of his era and carry this team past the Heat into the ECF. Of course everbody, including his own fans, will quickly forget his performance and continue to underrate him- like they have for years now. I will never understand it. Look, if the Celtics have to face the Bulls in the ECF I'm a little worried. Despite their lack of talent, the Bulls play their a ss off. And the Celtics tend to take quarters (and even entire) games off. So that's a bad combo. And I could picture Rose going to the line 30 times a game. But they are not losing a series to the Heat. It's not happening. Remember last year when Dwight Howard was tossing Celtics around like rags dolls. Knocking out teeth rendering people unconcious? With no punishment. Did we retaliate? No. We just beat his thug a  ss on the court. Relax people. The Celtics have seen this before. And they know how to respond. None of this is going to matter when the Celts are in round 3 and the Heat are at home. I guess then we can all complain about what a dirty piece of garbage Noah is. Seriously- he makes Wade look like a choir boy. .
