Action/Reaction | Larry Bird vs. Atlanta Hawks bench

This is something new that I'll be trying, and it's kind of like my Trash Talker series, but this one is called Action/Reaction. It basically deals with Newton's third law of motion which states "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction." That being said, most reactions in basketball occur on the bench or in the stands, and maybe in your living room depending on the action that occurred on the court. With the series of posts, I hope to accomplish and showcase the lighter side of the NBA and other leagues around the world by showing you what basketball is really all about.

March 12th, 1985, Lakefront Arena (New Orleans, Louisiana)

ACTION: Larry Bird scored 60 points on the Hawks (22/36 FG, 1/4 3PTS, 7 REBS, 3A, 3TO)

REACTIONS: Atlanta Hawks Bench

You can pick it up at the 5:00 minute mark. I give the reaction to the Hawks bench as they lose it when Bird hits a three that doesn't count after he gets fouled, and then one fan in the stands loses on his buddy by punching him in the arm repeatedly. Oh you ginger! 

Here's some music if you find the commentary very 1985: Choir of Young Believers - Action/Reaction

The lesson here is to not react to what the other team is doing unless they are trying to literally kick your ass! Ron Artest reaction coming soon. 

Trash Talker | Nate Robinson

I know that little guys like Nate Robinson enjoy talking on the court when they get going and start to feel it. Well our buddy Nate decided to do that against the Milwaukee Bucks, and some nights you just have to shut up when you see things taking a turn. Example, you hit a few baskets in the first quater and finish with 6 points while the guy you were "chirping" went off for 35.

Watch out trash talkers, I've got my eye out for you!
