Saturday's Game 1 saw its share of emotion and rough play. Frank Williams shoved Jason Kidd to the ground after Kidd taunted him after a Nets basket. Jason Collins sent Tim Thomas to the hospital with a hard foul, and Rodney Rogers and Shandon Anderson were seen jawing at one another. After Williams' shove of Kidd, Richard Jefferson stepped on the floor, which could mean a suspension for Game 2.
