No kings fans, Celtics and their fans don’t mind physical basketball. Hello, #1 defense in the league! They do mind when other teams play dirty purposefully by poking and scratching. That is pathetic and nobody looks kindly on that. Kings need to learn to play ‘tough’ not ‘dirty’ basketball.

NoraG1, totally agree with you. But I think the real problem is the officiating. They are the ones who should put a stop to dirty play. There’s a fine line between playing physical and dirty. Players know where the line is. I wish the Refs would get a clue. This is a League problem and they seem not to want to do anything about it. In the past Larry Bird and Robert Parish could blast Laimbeer and not get suspended. Now you can’t even look funny at a guy who just did you dirty.
