08:06 AM ET 11.29 | The Nets-Celtics skirmish may have looked like something it wasn't Wednesday night. [Boston] lacks a certain toughness that can no longer be ignored. "If I'm Brooklyn and the league, you've got to think we're pretty soft the way we're playing," Rivers said. "We're a soft team right now; we have no toughness." And for those who want to throw Rajon Rondo's incident -- lead official James Capers referred to it as a fight -- with Kris Humphries into the category of exuded toughness, Rivers isn't trying to hear that. Especially when he knows that there's a chance that it will likely cost Rondo at least one game via suspension. "That stuff's not toughness," Rivers said. "All that stuff, that's not toughness."

that wasnt really a bad foul by Kris Humphries. Rondo just got mad because he got blocked hard by Humphries earlier in the game

Agreed.
And why was Wallace ejected but once again Stern's boy KG get's a pass again!
Man this guy never faces penalties for anything he does.
I have yet to see this punk suspended or rejected, Wallace was trying to look out for Hump, KG pushes him so he pushed back and Wallace gets the punishment while KG gets a slap on the wrist once again.
These refs really do the most terrible officiating!

You know am a heat fan, am calling it how I see it.
Homerism?
KG falling down?
THey both should be ejected if they were in a altercation right?
Just like Rondo & Humphries.
Am not hearing that crap from you of all people....
KG never gets punished I've seen this guy hit guys below the waist and remain in the freaking game, no suspension no thing.
He is Stern's boy clearly.

Agree.
Johnson isn't on PP level, which made it even more classic.
PP is a HOFer no doubt about it, Johnson is no true #1, as Pierce has been.
Johnson with a deep suns team couldn't get to the finals and his hawks are always remembered for losing in the first or second round so yea advantage PP.
But advantage last night, JJ.

Apple wholeheartedly agree with everything you said here, particularly about PP being on of the finest small forwards to play the game. Yes Legend, Pierce, & Reggie represented the postion to the fullest!
All about the Apple

I don't think the playoffs is guranteed for them either... an injury to Pierce or Garnett and they're right back to lottery land...

Celtics need to make a trade.
That's what am saying no guarantee they make it, especially far.
The nets,knicks, yes the heat too all playing better than them.
The bucks play harder than them too.

Actually KG and Wallace both received Techs for pushing each other. Wallace was ejected only because he had received a Tech earlier in the game. The Refs mad the right call by giving both players a T.
