Round 2: Ejections, Fouls, and Hard Fouls

May 7, 2009

Well, things are getting a little chippy already in the Orlando-Boston series, and the LA-Houston series, and they are only two games into them.  Usually it takes a little more time for players to get sick of each other and have tempers flare.  I think the fact that both of the favorites, Boston and LA, got spanked [...]
