Tuesday may have just gotten more interesting ...

According to the ESPN website: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3707297

"The league office will look further Monday at the fourth-quarter incident, according to NBA spokesperson Maureen Coyle, with any fines or suspensions to be announced before both teams play again Tuesday."

Bogut saw an immediate penalty, in that he got hit with a 2nd technical and ejected. KG also left before the end of the game, fouling out later during the overtime period. I'm not saying that Bogut's ejection cost his team the game, but the Celtics were able to overcome in OT after he left . . .

On the other end, if KG is forced to sit out of Tuesday's game, how will the Celtics stack up against the Knicks? NY is dealing with both injuries and Marbury's impending buyout, but could one of the big 3 being forced onto the bench be what they need to overcome against the defending champs?

I certainly hope not, and will be there taking pictures either way . . .

UPDATE: It's official - KG will have to sit out Tuesday's game against the Knicks, and Bogut's foul has been upgraded to Flagrant 1 status. I wonder who is getting the start in KG's place. I'll have to see when I get to the Garden tomorrow . . .
