Top Ten Celtics That Might Catch a 'Hard Foul' in Game 6

Whether you believe it's wrong or right, there's a chance at some point in tonight's Bulls-Celtics matchup, things could get ugly.

That's typically what happens after two teams beat the hell out of each other for five games.

Throw in what looked like a flagrant foul committed by Rajon Rondo of the C's in Game 5, and you can be sure the Bulls may be out for a little bit of good ol' fashioned payback.

Throw one at us, we'll throw one at you. Hit one of our guys, we hit one of yours.

Nearly every sport has its own version of retaliation and the NBA is no different. I'm not saying it's right, but we decided to have a little fun with it. Besides, it's just playoff basketball at its best.

10. Stephon Marbury

Marbury has been passing up big shots in this series faster than Elton John passes up...female companionship.

The Bulls will definitely be leaving this guy alone.

9. Ray Allen

While the Bulls got hosed on the non-flagrant foul at the end of Game 5, Ray Allen has just as much to complain about as anyone.

No way he should have fouled out of that game.

But Allen doesn't do much but make big shots from beyond the arc. The chances of him getting a hard foul at the rack are pretty slim.

8. Doc Rivers

"It was a great foul by Rondo. You always talk about playoff basketball, no layups. Rondo did it on the very last play and it won the game for us."

Yeah Doc, that makes sense.

I'm sure you'd say the same exact thing if the tables were turned and D. Rose gave a closed fist mouth shot to Kendrick Perkins on a potential game winning drive to the hoop.

7. Paul Pierce

Cold. Blooded. Killer.

The Bulls brain trust led by Vinnie Del Negro cooked up a plan to cover Pierce in the game's closing moments that would have made Tim Floyd stop and stare in disbelief.

This team respects Paul Pierce too much to deliver a cheap shot foul his way.

6. Rajon Rondo

The poor man's version of Lil Bow Wow is public enemy number one in Chicago.

That blatant cheap shot against Brad Miller in Game 5 of the series was a flagrant foul, no questions asked. We constantly gripe about the lack of consistency in officiating during the NBA Playoffs, yet the primary defense against Rondo's pimp hand is that the ref's should change the way they officiate at the end of games.

Huh?

The NBA. Where hypocrisy happens.

5. Kevin Garnett

I'm not sure how the Bulls could pull this off. Fouling a player that's not even in uniform is technically not even possible.

But I'm sure they could cook up a loose ball scenario where an Aaron Gray goes diving into the Celtics bench.

Either way, congratulations to Kevin Garnett for devolving into the Kenny Powers of the NBA.

4. Tony Allen

To the 16% of the nation who actually knows Tony Allen, explain to me where this 'lockdown perimeter defender' tag came from?

Allen has yet to do anything in this series except for committing two ridiculous fouls at the worst possible time for the Celtics.

I almost hope the Bulls don't use him as an example, he does more good for us than he does for his own team.

3. Glen Davis

Has a man ever possessed a nickname more accurate than that of Glen 'Big Baby' Davis?

2. Kendrick Perkins

“I don’t think the refs like the Boston Celtics. ..I don’t know... We’ve got a lot of talkers on this team, if you know what I mean.”

Yup, we know what you mean. But don't forget that everyone knows what a guy your size should be doing to a rail thin, undersized Bulls froncourt.

If you know what we mean.

1. Brian Scalabrine

Did Scalabrine do anything to deserve a hard foul?

Nope, sure didn't.

But the ginger haired wonder is the poster child for all things Boston and it just seems like he'd be the guy .

The ideal candidate for a hard Bulls foul.
