Yes, Portland had six players on the court. Yes, you’re right — that basket with six players on the court should NEVER have counted. Stupidity ruled. But come on, Doc Rivers and the Boston Celtics — that thing cost you one lousy point!!!!

You get four or five points every game from the referees just for BEING the Boston Celtics. And you got at least that many in the fourth quarter alone during that game against the Blazers, who, by the way, were playing without Brandon Roy.

I’d usually tell a team to just let it go, but for some reason it makes me smile to think the Boston Celtics are still stewing over it. Yeah, you really got the shaft, Celts. Too bad. It’s a damn shame.

Not everyone thinks Darius is a jerk. This from Boston Coach Doc Rivers, via the Boston Herald, after the Celts cut Miles on Monday:

 “I really just wanted to give him a shot of hooking on with someone else,” coach Doc Rivers said. “He was great, really. It’s just with the numbers I really thought he had to crack the top 10 in the rotation for us to put him on the team, and he didn’t do that, but he did a lot of good things, and he definitely can play in this league. You never know if he’ll be back here.

“Even when we let him go, he thanked us. . . . I had read and heard a lot of stuff that they said Darius was, and he was none of that here. He was really good.”
