uh..it's Chicago 'man', not 'fan'

And it’s a little misleading that the reports refer to the 2005 incident as a ‘fight’, when in fact someone got shot. (ht: deadspin).

The Celtics want the world to see them as victims

First was KG injury, after KG was Powe, yesterdaywas Rondo… Now they came out with this story. I’m starting to believe they are trying to find excuses for a hypothetical series loss.

Sometimes it seems

Like their trying to make their wins more amazing. I’m not saying they do this but its like a drama sometimes.

Don't be an idiot. Read the article before commenting.

death threats /= fake injuries

Nevertheless, the Allen issue is real and a concern. The Celtics were too beaten up to leave him back in Boston, and spare themselves a police state of security for the weekend. Allen, 26, played high school ball at Crane High School in Chicago and still considers the city home. A judge found him not guilty of aggravated assault in April of 2007, a case based on a fight outside a Chicago restaurant two years earlier.

Sources say this issue has nothing to do with that case, that Allen has been a part of a dispute that’s gone unresolved for over a year. Friends are worried for him, and so are the Celtics. In fact, one long-time Allen friend was told by a Chicago police officer, a source said, that he would be wise to steer clear of the Celtic this weekend. Considering the source of these threats, no one with knowledge of the issue is dismissing these protection steps as an overreaction.

He probably banged the wrong person’s girlfriend or something.
