Me and JE just exchanged PM's but I want him to answer the question I asked on this thread. Please answer ONLY: Yes or No...nothing else When KG wants to be intimidating he usually does his intimidating on smaller players. Yes or No?
I don't know JE, you could pretty much mug a guy and not get called for a foul and you could throw a punch and only get a $50 fine. Frankly, I don't think the current version of the Celtics is young enough or fast enough to hang with "Showtime" and they're not smart enough to hang with the 80s Celtics. The 80s Celtics weren't as physically talented as their Laker counterparts but they had veteran players with incredibly high basketball IQ. They worked like a machine, just never made mistakes. As for the Pistons of the 80s, I have never seen a team as physical or full of bullies as the late 80s Pistons before or since that time. Trust me, KG would not be taunting Laimbeer(sp?), Thomas, Johnson, or Dumars... those guys were flat out thugs. It was just a completely different game.
Word twisting FTW Unfortunately, the Detroit thing contributed in a big way to this soccer mentality. Back in the day, there would be a brawl, the two teams would develop a rivalry, and make for really compelling matchups. No problem. Its ironic -- Ben Wallace and Ron Artest indirectly pussified the NBA, when you think about it. You keep seeking me out. One would figured, if you get owned enough times, you'll stop picking fights with that particular person. I don't see the point in it, from your perspective. Good one. LOL UR N DENILE!
Are you only watching what's caught on video? Or are you watching the games? KG does his act with everyone.
No I perfectly understood you...You are saying KG does his stuff to bigger players also, just nobody in the world has bothered to put those confrontations on youtube....uh huh...right
K There are still hard fouls. Atlanta vs Boston last year is a good example. I never said hard fouls were a bad thing. Unnecessary elbow throwing after play has been whistled dead is what makes KG look bad. Crawling like a dog doesn't help either. That shit is just uncalled for. What is this, Halo? You owned me? And no, this is just you being in your own little world. And yes you are in denial.
KG does things to everybody, and it easily goes unnoticed. Just because a big stink isn't made of it doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
Crawling like a dog is harmless and anyone who takes offense to it needs to get their priorities straightened out. You wanna know one person who didn't give a shit about it? Jerryd Bayless. You wonder why you're like a mosquito to me...
Find me ONE video where him and another player his size are face to face about to go at it and KG DOESNT back down. One...any. If you are right then there would be evidence on the internet somewhere edit: and if you do find that, I will gladly show you MANY videos of him against smaller players pulling his crap
Crawling like a dog just makes him look stupid, that's all. I'm sure Bayless thought he looked ridiculous like everyone did. I don't really, but you are just another Boston fan to me, that's for sure.
