Prior to Game 4, Tayshaun Prince was the Piston best known for pulling off dumbfounding, from-behind blocks in playoff games. But after Jason Maxiell's brutal volleyball spike of a Kevin Garnett breakaway dunk attempt (key word: "attempt") on Monday night, the title might just be up for grabs. Peep this insane footy:
Even by Maxiell's lofty standards, this clip was downright nasty. I mean, if Baby Eater was off by half an inch, it might've been KG's skull ricocheting off the backboard. Think that point will be lost on the Celtics the next time they're on the fastbreak and Maxiell's on the floor? I sure don't.
Advantage: Detroit.

Maxiell did play a good game but he's no match for KG and you that. The ref's are allowing too much hand checking by detroit, in Hamilton's case he always iniates the contact by pushing off to get free and he gets the call. Am I the only one seeing this but Detroit is intentionally causing a lot of tripping of Boston players. Comments welcome.

Maxiell a young guy with this amazing leaping abilities;
Maxiell must be 6,6 or 6,7 and KG a 6,11 and long arms but this is not the first time that Maxiell blocks clean on a taller player there have been many other times and there will be many more times that Maxiell will do the same, I am sure;

Randy if you read the live blog from last night you would know that on fanhouse Maxiell is to be referred to as The Manimal from now on!!!! So please do your part for the movement and refer to him as The Manimal from here on out. Thanks.

It would have been a great play if he hadn't caught forearm. That was a foul and if you don't think so I would recommend that you apply for an nba ref job.
