Rasheed Wallace headed toward the refs' locker room after the game

After the Celtics' Game 7 loss to the Lakers in the NBA Finals on Thursday, Boston's Rasheed Wallace was seen heading into the referees' locker room saying, "Danny, I just want to talk."

resumably, Wallace was trying to speak to referee Dan Crawford, but he was removed from the room by security.
Page 2 takes a few educated guesses at what Wallace wanted to discuss:

• Would Crawford T him up one more time, so he could retire with a ceremonial suspension?

• Did Crawford see that weird guy singing on "The Bachelorette"?

• Would it be OK to add a line for Crawford on his Family Talk plan, just so he wouldn't burn his anytime minutes staying in touch?

• Michael Jordan's moustache in that Hanes commercial

• Once and for all ... are Dan and Joey Crawford related?

• Wanted to file formal protest because Adam Morrison now has two rings to his one.

How about the great difference of fouls called on the celtics as to the lakers, talk about home cooking,WOW!!

gotta be the FIRST or LAST bullet point! f'ing Adam Morrison.

but really, I think he just wanted to say goodbye to two of the more senior refs in the NBA.

Wallace is a tremendous talent, but I think you will eventually read something bad about this guy down the line. I don't think he is a bad person, but when people can't control themselves emotionally, eventually they find a way to bring harm to themselves or others.

maybe - BUT, it seems from what people say (beat reporters, coaches, and players) that he's a COMPLETELY different guy off the court. I've heard many people, from many organizations, say that he's one of the brighter, more down-to-earth guys in the NBA. But only time will tell.

Maybe he can get ahold of Artest's psychologist.

That is good.

He just goes off like an idiot on the court.

ive spoken to piston season ticket holders in the past, and they all basically said he's an asshole on and off the court. He also treats reporters like dirt.

Wallace exited the Boston locker room before it opened to the media and navigated his way toward the team bus before diverting to the official's locker room nearby. He managed to open the door and talk with an unidentified person behind the door, before arena and NBA security ushered him back out.
Wallace stuck his head into the locker room and appeared to say, "Danny, I just want to talk," possibly to referee Danny Crawford, but quickly got removed from the room.
Wallace, wearing sunglasses and carrying his gear, waited about five minutes outside the official's locker room guarded by arena security before departing for the team bus without talking to the officials or media nearby.
