Yeah, that was a dick move. Haha get it dick move cause he hit him in the groin. All jokes aside he's always been like that. He likes to instigate problems.

 

Talent wise I like him but his attitude just plain sucks.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Haha it's almost as if you're letting a big cat out of the bag....haha

 

[suns]Why not a small cat?[/suns]:dunno:

[yankees228]

I'm not sure if I'd say his attitude sucks, I think it's more that he's so intense out there, that he lets his emotions get the best of him from time to time. Just speculating, of course.

[bsox0407]

Wow The Technical Fouls are pathetic in this game. Pietrus should not have gotten one. Garnett should have only gotten one and So should have Rivers.

 

Plus if i was a player i would be pissed to know that 34% of all technical fouls get rescinded by the league, what happens if your team loses by one point. I know you have heard that the umps try to get themselves into MLB games and stuff but jeez they are most of the time right.

[italstallianion]

I just found it weird that the ref said that both of Garnett's technicals came from arguing the original foul, rather than the unnecessary nutshot.

the nut shot is why he got three shots from the charity strip. I thought the refs did a pretty job for the game but the way they handled the techs was pathetic. Even the announcers from ESPN were some what shocked.

 

I am a Celtics fan too.

Awww you're talking about me...that's how much you love me

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Of course.

Cavs going for number 20 tonight.

[italstallianion]

Celtics beat the Lakers. Since the Spurs didn't play today, the Celtics winning and the Lakers losing is good enough for me.

[Flynnatic10]

Kevin Durant ripped on Bosh today

"Going for" implies that they might not get it, as if they will beat Orlando in Orlando.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

[insert joke here]

 

You know you want to.

Haha true.

IT'S NOT AN ERROR.

Thou shalt not talk down on KG. Or I will hunt you down.

[italstallianion]

There's a difference between talking bad about KG as a basketball player and talking bad about him as a person. I think he's a great basketball player, just not a great (or good) person.

[Emmz]

Oh well, can't win 'em all. One of the best power forwards of all time, and one of the few athletes in Minnesota who could be considered all-time elite. I overlooked him sucker-punching Rick Rickert, I can overlook anything. I'm not gonna judge the man as a person unless I know him personally to be an ass hole.

[Flynnatic10]

Thou shalt not talk down on KG. Or I will hunt you down.

 

He is Kevin Durant. Durant > KG

[Keeper]

KG is definitely one of the all-time greats, but sometimes he is too intense for his own good on the court. His intensity is a strength and a weakness.

[Emmz]

the position seems to attract players like that, like Charles Barkley, Jermaine O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace.

[Keeper]

Yeah, that rings true. Wallace was always his own worst enemy. Guys with poise at the four like Tim Duncan are the exception, not the norm.

[italstallianion]

Don't forget about the greatest of them all, Brian Scalabrine. Class act all the way.

[Flynnatic10]

I beg to differ ital. Michael Ruffin is better.

[Emmz]

Yeah' date=' that rings true. Wallace was always his own worst enemy. Guys with poise at the four like Tim Duncan are the exception, not the norm.[/quote']

 

Well, there's some that are under control, but most of them suck. Tim Duncan is under control, and in league with Malone, Barkley and Garnett as the greatest PFs of all time.

The Miami ©Heat are making excuses again.

 

ESPN article about how their "rivals" have better chemistry than them right now.

 

Didn't Celtics win it their first year together in 2007? Lebron "Quitness" James seems to be making excuses in advance for when he mails it in again during the playoffs. Celtics at this point maybe we do have better chemistry. But teams like Orlando Magic had a major trade mid-season you could argue they don't even have the chemistry of the Heat. The Bulls have a new addition of Boozer and have been without Joakim Noah for a while.

 

For three guys that HAVE played together in the past (Olympics), and CHOSE to play together this season - you'd think chemistry would be the LAST kind of issue. They knew what they were getting themselves into. Makes me sick. Celtics were put together by trades they didn't choose to go together. But they have been killing teams from the moment they were created (started 9-0, as opposed to Heat who started 9-8). Now Miami is 34-14 which is very good. But the over the top egos and promises of 6 or 7 championships makes you seem like cocks, and you wonder why people hate you. Celtics will obliterate this team in a playoff series in 4 or 5 games, just like they obliterated them twice this year. Take some mental notes, LeDouche.

 

This statement is just stupid. Do Heat players even think before they talk. Kind of what Bosh said earlier this year after a loss. "Coach wants us to work hard, we want to chill." LOL seriously? Can't stand some of the attitudes of some of the players in the NBA. They have been babied their whole lives and when things don't go right they blame everyone but themselves.

[italstallianion]

Finding a great PF that isn't a jerk is like finding a talented WR that isn't a diva. Tim Duncan and Andre Johnson are the rare exceptions.

[Youker20]

There is a ton of non diva WR's.. fitz, roddy white, mike wallace, calvin johnson,reggie wayne, brandon lloyd, Marques colston, hines ward.. and I can keep going on.. its not even close to number of ******* like pfs.. Kg, west, blatche,cousins, rasheed, etc

[italstallianion]

Point taken, but keep in mind that each football team has more WR's than NBA teams have PF's. In addition, while Hines Ward isn't a diva, he is one of the dirtiest players in the league.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The Miami ©Heat are making excuses again.

 

What are you, 6?

 

Didn't Celtics win it their first year together in 2007?

 

Irrelevant, anyone's who has followed sports for more than a month or two knows that you don't set first-year championships as benchmarks.

 

Lebron "Quitness" James seems to be making excuses in advance for when he mails it in again during the playoffs.

 

He mailed it in? Prove it.

 

For three guys that HAVE played together in the past (Olympics), and CHOSE to play together this season - you'd think chemistry would be the LAST kind of issue.

 

Easy for Joe Fan to say.

 

They knew what they were getting themselves into. Makes me sick.

 

Awww, want a pukey bucket?

 

Celtics were put together by trades they didn't choose to go together.

 

Terrific. That doesn't mean anything.

 

But they have been killing teams from the moment they were created (started 9-0, as opposed to Heat who started 9-8).

 

Terrific. That doesn't mean anything.

 

Now Miami is 34-14 which is very good. But the over the top egos and promises of 6 or 7 championships makes you seem like cocks, and you wonder why people hate you.

 

Why a bunch of sadsack Joe Fans like you hate them doesn't really matter. D-Wade summed it up nicely, in that same article no less: "I think the stat is, Boston is 30-15 (actually 30-17) in the playoffs since they've been together. We're 0-0."

 

Celtics will obliterate this team in a playoff series in 4 or 5 games, just like they obliterated them twice this year.

 

Really?

 

Take some mental notes, LeDouche.

 

lol

 

This statement is just stupid. Do Heat players even think before they talk.

 

How's the statement stupid? They feel they have chemistry issues, and said so. You'd still be bitching up a storm if LeBron, Wade, and Bosh covered it up and said there was no problem.

 

Kind of what Bosh said earlier this year after a loss. "Coach wants us to work hard, we want to chill." LOL seriously?

 

Not a smart quote, but does it really matter? He said that when Miami was an underwhelming 7-4 after a cake schedule to open the season. It's reasonable to assume (based on common sense) that the message of the quote wasn't 'we don't want to work', it was 'we feel overworked for where we are at this point in our Heat careers, 10% of the way through our first season together'.

 

Can't stand some of the attitudes of some of the players in the NBA. They have been babied their whole lives and when things don't go right they blame everyone but themselves.

 

Yeah yeah yeah, you're sad that they make a lot of money for playing basketball while poor little you mans the deep frier at Wendy's. Tragic.

[italstallianion]

Looks like this thing won't die.
