Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
The Celtics have a history of attempting to use trash talk to intimidate their opponents. Most of the time, the other team will ignore it, but occasionally, someone feels that a line was crossed. Stephen Jackson is of the opinion that the latter took place during his team's loss to Boston on Wednesday.
"It turned disrespectful when certain things were said," Jackson said. "You can be emotional in the game and you talk to your teammates and do all that but when you get personal and direct certain things to people as far as their manhood, that's when the problems come up. And I guarantee you that if I wasn't in this gym, that wouldn't have been said to me."
For what it's worth, Jackson didn't seem all that angry while issuing these remarks; you can listen to the whole thing here. But what's interesting is that as Jackson delivered that last part (which comes across as slightly threatening), his team's PR person cut him off to make sure he wouldn't continue down that road.
Jackson didn't name names in his complaint, but it seems that Paul Pierce was the one he was referring to, based on the Celtics All-Star's post-game comments.
Whatever was said, it seems that Pierce has already put the incident behind him. Whether or not Jackson will do the same remains to be seen, but either way, we probably won't find out until next year: The teams aren't scheduled to meet again during the regular season, and given the way the standings in the East are looking, a meeting in the playoffs seems highly unlikely.
