Boston Celtics 2009-2010 Thread

I think I remember hearing Bird call him the best he's ever played with.

Yeah he did say something to that effect. And he was being honest.

[boomer]

Does anyone else think the Celts should run over the Raps tonight without Chris Bosh?

Round 1 matchup vs. the Heat is under way. C's trail the Heat by 3 at half

[msubulldogs21]

Don't worry guys, they'll get it together when the playoffs start.

Nice win tonight. I would be pissed if KG got suspended.

[See Red]

KG's a little bitch. So Richardson went to make sure Pierce (was it Pierce? I've had many beers since the game so I don't really remember) was okay and KG tried to fight him? f*** KG!

Lol @ you actually believing that Q was 'checking up' on Pierce when the two have squabbled countless times before.

Not giving two shits about the Celtics, of course I didn't know there was a history.

 

Still, the opinion that Kevin Garnett is a little bitch has been a longstanding and well-deserved one.

[schillingouttheks]

It was an incredibly display of stupidity and a lack of self-control, that's for sure.

 

You have got to be smarter in that situation. Now he cost his team his presence for Game 2 most likely, because he couldn't hold his emotions together for the last 45 seconds of the game.

Wait, does 2 technicals mean a suspension for the next game? I thought it just meant an ejection.

The NBA can choose to have a suspend KG or not.

I thought an ejection meant a subsequent suspension. Guess not, but I still can't see the NBA letting him play Game 2 after that. Of course they'll want to send a message.

It's not automatic, so even if he were going to be suspended, I doubt that it would be for the next game as they would have to take time and assess the appropriate penalty. I think that he'll be fine for game 2.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

He'll be suspended, because the NBA has handed out plenty of stupid suspensions for lesser (or even phantom) violations. Diaw and Stoudemire come to mind.

[italstallianion]

I believe that that's a different scenario with a clearly violated rule. That scenario was more black and white than this one.

An extremely stupid violated rule.

 

NBA's just a very flawed league when it comes to making and enforcing certain rules.

I never said it wasn't. The rule shouldn't have existed, and should be eliminated, even if it did help my team.

Great job by the NBA for suspending KG.

[See Red]

One game was very well deserved. I like how Doc Rivers suggests you have to look at the instigator, Richardson, in that situation, as if KG's elbow was justified. He threw an elbow, he deserves a one-game suspension. He's a grown man, he can't take a little jawing?

 

Again, this can't be said enough... KG's a little bitch.

Epic contradiction here.

Good job for making it fall in line with the rest of their ridiculous suspensions, maybe.

I've read it three times trying to find two contradicting thoughts and for the life of me I can't do it. Certainly nothing 'epic' stands out. Please help me.

There's a hint, if you know anything about the guy you're calling a little bitch.

[italstallianion]

I think that Garnett's suspension is justified, however I think that Richardson should have been suspended as well. I definitely think that Garnett's supsension was more justified than past playoff suspensions (ie Diaw and Stoudemire circa 2007)

What does that have to do with anything? So he talks s***, I never said anything about being able to talk s***... he also steps up only to middle of the road NBA players that pose no threat.

 

You may not have noticed how after he cheap shots Richardson with the elbow he proceeds to run away. Like a little bitch. He's also perfected the "Hold me back" move.

Just watch. Tell me that's not a bitch move.

Jawing and talking s*** are not the same thing, then. Lol okay.

I love fans calling players 'little bitches'. As if they're somehow tougher or braver.

Yeah, he plays basketball. There's professions out there where people die every single day -- I'm in one. Guess we just have different definitions of "tough" and "brave".

 

And for what it's worth, if I'm going to throw an elbow, I'm going to at least try and back it up. Sure as hell not going to cut and run. That doesn't make me tough or brave, it makes me a man that can at least back up the s*** that I talk.

 

There's a difference between being able to talk s*** and being able to take it when somebody else does. You really think Q said anything that would warrant a cheap shot elbow?

[italstallianion]

Could you imagine if Garnett had elbowed Ron Artest instead of Richardson? He'd be suspended and on injured reserve.
