Benny's revenge
From FanNation:
Kevin Garnett and James Posey engaged in some late-game trash talking with Benny the Bull. "Bulls can talk," said Garnett, who initially was upset after he and Posey were hit in the back by clothing fired from a T-shirt launcher during a timeout in the closing minutes of the C's 106-92 victory. "Walking off the floor we got hit by some shirts." Garnett initially had to be restrained by a member of the officiating crew as Benny stood a safe distance away. "I turned around, saw the guy in the bull hat, and we had some words," Garnett said.
Now our seats suck, but I'm 98% sure that a fan was throwing back a T-shirt that had just been tossed into the lower section. "Saw the guy in the bull hat," doesn't sound like Benny to me.
But the important lesson is that the Celtics play with passion and some anger in a meaningless game. Noah and Noce are the only Bulls who really played with desire tonight (Ty only tried when he had a chance to score); the Celtics knew they had this one in the bag after the first five minutes, yet Garnett was trying to show up Ty in the last five minutes and Pierce was yapping back at Noce after a hack in the closing minutes.
It seems like one should say something about how you need players willing to run through walls for you, but the Bulls can't even find guys to run around screens.
