Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Remember that time Danny Ainge threw a towel in the air while J.J. Hickson was shooting free-throws? And remember how we all just kind of laughed at it, then moved on with our lives because it wasn't that big of a deal? Turns out the NBA found the whole thing considerably less amusing than the rest of us:
Boston Celtics Executive Director of Basketball Operations and General Manager Danny Ainge has been fined $25,000 for creating an unauthorized distraction and for conduct detrimental to the game, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
So then what, pray tell, constitutes an "authorized" distraction that is not detrimental to the game? Because I'm sure Ainge would like to throw one of those in the air during Friday night's game three.
More importantly, will it set him up for his career after basketball as well as this one appears to have?

Yay
I might be a purebred celtics hater, but that was just a petty, dick move.
I love q. Rich too. Those two really are some actresses.

Yeah well
Anything that could cause the Cavs (Or rather Lebron James) not to make it to the finals is going to be practically illegal as far as the NBA is concerned.

Same thing with the Lakers in the West
Now watch as I get pummeled by Laker fans claiming that the league is against them.

#3 + #6 + #15 + #1 = QPU #25, and no, it's not because of Anthony Carter
