Jermaine O'Neal: Punk Crybaby

After every foul, he tries to start a fight. Jermaine, claiming your shoulder hurts doesn't mean people aren't allowed to foul you.

Walker's second foul was excessive; the first one was a playoff foul. I Just watched the Sixers and Pistons play and they were knocking each other to the floor instead of giving easy baskets. No one whined because that's playoff basketball.

After Walker's 1st foul, O'Neal grabbed Walker by the scruff of the shirt. After the second more aggressive foul, O'Neal threw an elbow towards West and threw his forearm into O'Neal. O'Neal also made a big deal about other fouls committed against him throughout the game.

Walker is easy to blame because he isn't likable and he lost his temper at the end of the game. (Then again I would too if my team played with no energy and my opponent shot 20 more free throws)

O'Neal is looking to fight, and so is Stephen Jackson. Sure I have a strong bias towards the Celtics, but I see O'Neal doing this against other teams (and fans), and I'm sure it will continue against the next team after they beat the Celtics.
