5. WaPo sports writer on Green in game 1

' . . . why Green could essentiallly play Twister on top of Jaylen Brow's head, shove him in the back, tug on his shorts, then start talkin smack - and STILL not get called for a technical foul. . .
See, Green already had one tech. . . . Green probably knew he could get away with trying to bully the Celtics well after he received his first technical in the first quarter. . . '

[Would the refs 2nd tech eject a star player in this series? Guess not]
