Fuck you, Danny Ainge
AP / May 4th, 2010

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- A nuisance as an NBA player, Danny Ainge is still being a pest as general manager.

Boston's GM was spotted in TV replays throwing a white towel in the air to distract Cleveland forward J.J. Hickson at the free throw line in the third quarter of Game 2 on Monday night.

Ainge, sitting in the first seat to the right of Cleveland's basket, is seen reaching behind the stanchion to grab one of the ball boy's towels as Hickson prepares to shoot. Ainge then tosses the towel into the air on Hickson's second attempt with 1:53 remaining.

At the time, the Celtics were leading 80-57 on their way to winning 104-86 and evening the Eastern Conference semifinal at one game apiece. Hickson made his second free throw. NBA spokesman Tim Frank said the league is aware of Ainge's actions and that "the situation is under review."

Act like a professional, you asshole. I hope this gives the Cavs extra incentive to not just beat the Celtics at home but to humiliate them in the process.

1. You're looking for Danny Ainge to act professional?
This guy was 80s basketball's biggest punk and fight starter, only worthy because of who surrounded him.

Not to mention he's an LDS'er. Ew.

4. Imagine Theo Epstein yelling "Swing Batter" behind home plate...
and what a buffoon he would look/sound like.

9. I think they are going to need more incentive than Danny Ainge throwing
a towel. Right now they look completely out matched by the C's.

10. Hey, I'll try for anything if it means a championship for Cleveland
As I've posted before, basketball isn't my sport so I can't bring much to the conversation. I just want the people in my hometown to get a sports title. If LeBron James moves on, as expected, this will be the last good chance for who knows how long...
