    his game has nothing to do with talking trash and then being scared of players.

    Ok, I've been trying to stay out of this, but to keep up to see where this is going. As I see it, there are posters going around in circles over the following (what I count as "Facts" or "Observations", though others may not).

    1. KG talks a lot of trash. (Personally, I don't have a problem with this, it's been going on forever. Gary Payton and MJ were masters of this.)
    2. KG hasn't (to my recollection) been in a single "fight" in his entire career. He's sucker-punched teammates, and thrown the first elbow or shove, and has (like Peeler) someone throw the first 'bow, but never had a "you swing I swing we swing and wrestle" brawl.
    3. KG throws illegal (according to NBA rules) elbows following rebounds, pushes following dunks on him, etc. Rarely is this called as a foul on him. Many times he puts his arms up in that "look, I'm not doing anything" pose.
    4. KG taunts the opponent frequently after a play. I personally see very little difference between the KG "Cat" move and Mutumbo waving his finger or Oden hanging on the rim. With the exception that the last two were correctly called technical fouls, and KG's was not.

    Now for the less concrete portion: I don't like players who play by showing up others. I don't like players who cheat (practicing fraud or trickery; violate rules dishonestly). I didn't like Laimbeer, I think it's dishonest and against the rules when players "flop". But the difference is that when, say, Divac or Ginobili flops, they're only cheating. When Laimbeer sent a blatent forearm shiver, or CP3 punched the kid in the nuts, or Bruce Bowen sticks his foot deliberately underneath a jump shooter, or K*be elbows others in the face after they shoot a jumper, they are suspended b/c they're attempting to injure another player, not "gain a competitive advantage". KG doesn't get suspended for those type of things, and people defend his right to do it b/c he's wearing their laundry. I don't like that. He's no worse than Laimbeer, Malone, Bowen, or K*be. But he's no better for some faux "competitiveness" garbage posters may want to spew. And the fact that he gets away with it is another downcheck in my book. Maybe I belong in the 50's. But I would submit that the average paying NBA fan is closer to my sensibilities on this issue that yours. Perhaps not in Boston.

    Boston wasn't a good road team last year and they still won the championship. Fortunately for them they had the best record and got home court throughout. I don't see any signs of implosion, they'll still get into and go far in the play offs (barring a season ending injury to one of the big three). The problem I think they're going to have is that LA and probably Cleveland will end up with a better overall record and that would be a disaster if they're going to repeat.

    I love fans who call players pussy bitches, when those players would (happily) beat the living fuck out of them. Gutsy shit.


    You are no better than what you accuse KG of being. Props.

    I would happily let him. A large portion of his 22M this year would be coming to me. But I learned not to be scared of bullies in elementary school.

    Yes genius, me and Kevin are both sitting at the computer right now, laughing at your e-swagger. He says you're a bitch too, and anonomously calling people pussies is pretty easy stuff when you're behind a nice computer screen.

    KG would go after us posters since a lot of us are 6'3" and below.

    If we were bigs, KG wouldn't do jack shit. He only picks on guards.

    So are most people who say 'haha, pussy' behind a computer screen like it gives them credibility and respect.

    KG is a pussy. Period.

    He runs from PF and Centers. He'll bow up with a 5'11" guard with no problem. But when it comes to a big like McDyess, for example, he runs like a little bitch.

    Somtimes KG picks on the wrong guard.
