Robert Parish: I always liked the philosophy that the 80s Celtics had and these current Celtics have. They take the first punch. They are the initiators, not the retaliators.
They come out and establish the tone, the tempo, the look of the game. They are the aggressors. I find when you are the aggressors, you get more favorable officiating from the officials.
