Have I told you how much I love Rasheed Wallace.
"Rasheed Wallace, he of technical foul fame, had this to say about former NBA referee Tim Donaghy and his betting scandal to the Boston Herald.
"I always said to myself and had the thing that there's no way that the things that he did he could do them by himself," Wallace told the paper. "I always said that. It's virtually impossible. The things that he's been accused of, there's no way, to me, in my opinion, he could have done those things by himself."
Wallace was asked if other refs were betting on games.
"Possibly. I mean, I'm not sure if they were betting or whatever. But I know it's going to be, to me, once all this stuff comes out, it's going to be like -- what year was that? -- I want to say, was it the '32 New York City basketball scandal?"
Wallace was referring to the CCNY scandal of the '50s here (ESPN)."
The Celtics have to be the most hated team by refs in the NBA. They hate Wallace, Garnett gets technicals, Pierce can complain, Rondo likes to be a tough guy, Perk is constantly the angriest man on the planet, and Doc has been down every refs throat since the beginning of the season. I hope it doesn't affect the way games are called, but I can't argue with anything Wallace has said.
