[GOBB_Junior]

I love to see Miami sign him in the off season.

[Clippersfan86]

Surprised fans cheered Boston douches.

dont be asses. It's tough.

[Troutfisch]

Probably why he's extending the olive branch! :lol

[stallionaire]

Their egos were EXTREMELY wrapped up in this series. nobody can deny it. look back at all the post-game interviews.

Wouldn't you leave after saying all the things you did?

[CelticBaller]

their egos are to big

[kurt_rambis]

i liked when rondo threw his towel to try and cover the camera and missed

[Tenchi Ryu]

You play your heart out til game 7 and lose, see if you don't get too choked up.

[04mzwach]

Garnett, he has that hunger. He wants it bad and takes the game seriously. It might have been his last game. Bow down to The Big Ticket. Rondo takes after KG.

[Foster5k]

Not surprised by Rondo. Guy is a jerk off. However, I'm surprised KG did that. You would think for a guy with so much "intensity" and "passion" he would at least lose honorably.

[ElPigto]

dont be asses. It's tough.

No excuses. Everyone rags on Kobe/Lebron/Wade when they leave the floor early therefore we will rag on these fools.

[Tarik One]

If so, it was a classless act, ala Isiah Thomas

[truhooper]

will they get killed by the media like a certain guy :coleman:

[sportsfan76]

Discuss their rudeness.



who gives a f*ck, they don't like the Heat so why fake it?

[bmulls]

You play your heart out til game 7 and lose, see if you don't get too choked up.

I would have been choked up too, especially KG having just played what might be his last NBA game ever. Everything you've ever known coming to an end in a heartbreaking game 7 loss. That's a lot to take.

[Batz]

Lets see if they pay their respects after the celebration... Like they usually do.

[Foster5k]

KG and Rondo were asses for leaving early. The game wasn't even over. I never really liked Rondo. However, KG doing that really is surprising. I always thought he was a pretty decent guy.

[ImmortalNemesis]

I would have left early too. What's the problem?

[Meticode]

I have absolutely no problem with that. Garnett is old school. They didn't walk off the floor taking their jerseys off in disgust, or kicking shit, or crying like Bosh did last year in the Finals. He just doesn't want to be all buddy-buddy after the game.

[bdreason]

Both guys talk a lot of shit on and off the court. Probably couldn't swallow their pride and congratulate Wade and LeBron face to face.

[Derka]

Discuss the game. Discuss basketball. Discussing when people leave the floor just makes you all look like a bunch of gossipy housewife bitches.

[PickernRoller]

Bunch of stupid posters here loving the fake treatment.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

its ok for Lebron to leave but not ok to leave KG/Rondo??? Fcuk off

[RandomBalla55]

I don't like the handshake shit either, but if people are gonna critique other players for leaving early, it's only fair that they get critiqued too.

And Rondo and KG are two of the biggest smack talkers anyway.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

Discuss the game. Discuss basketball. Discussing when people leave the floor just makes you all look like a bunch of gossipy housewife bitches.

thats what this forum has became

[RazorBaLade]

hopefully rondo also spits at ainge

[albas89]

That was probably Garnett's last game, the guy was too emotional... I won't excuse him, but I won't call him a douche either...

On the other hand what Rondo did was just inexcusable...

[cavsfanatic]

Lebron got killed the whole summer when he did it. Even had to talk to David Stern lmao. No excuses because Lebron stayed when they lost to Boston in 2010

[I<3NBA]

I would have left early too. What's the problem?
the problem was when Lebron did it, people crucified him. so now turnabout is fair play.

[sic]

dont care about rondo leaving. Garnet should have stayed like pierce .

[MostHated305]

I aint mad.

Salute to the Celtics.

[NumberSix]

KG gets a pass. He's a legend.

[Salazaar]

Him and KG :roll:


You can tell they hate the HEAT

You can tell they are punks

[stallionaire]

This.

[Gear2]

I have absolutely no problem with that. Garnett is old school. They didn't walk off the floor taking their jerseys off in disgust, or kicking shit, or crying like Bosh did last year in the Finals. He just doesn't want to be all buddy-buddy after the game.

Yeah. Seriously who cares. (quoting another post) Lebron Was fine bouncing after losing in 2010 too. If the player wants to stay yeah it looks nice and glassy. But if they wanna leave so be it why does it matter.

[kurt_rambis]

people threw a hissy fit when isiah thomas, laimbeer, etc. left early after the bulls won in 91. garnett and rondo will get a pass because people hate lebron and the heat

[Derka]

the problem was when Lebron did it, people crucified him. so now turnabout is fair play.

Haters crucified him. People also defended him when he did it. Personally, didn't care when he walked off and ripped his jersey off. Don't care about KG and Rondo doing it either.

[SuperPippen]

That was probably Garnett's last game, the guy was too emotional... I won't excuse him, but I won't call him a douche either...

On the other hand what Rondo did was just inexcusable...

How? This is not a big deal. At all. When any player does it. And that includes LeBron.


If a player is too tired and emotional to stay on the court after an extremely hard-fought series - especially Rondo, who has played exceptionally this entire postseason - just so he can give a half-assed handshake to the opposing team, who the hell cares?

[guy]

Lebron got killed the whole summer when he did it. Even had to talk to David Stern lmao. No excuses because Lebron stayed when they lost to Boston in 2010

A lot of people forget that Lebron first did that to Boston in 2008. 2009 vs Orlando wasn't the first time.

[comerb]

I defended Lebron for doing in back then, I'll defend Rondo/KG for doing it now. Losing a game like that is tough. I do think the double standard for Lebron is bullshit.

[dec1981]

This.

They shouldn't get a pass because lebron didn't.

[Draz]

Rondo seems to take up after kg a lot. Props to th celtics 7 game series.

[CelticBaller]

Rondo gave his heart out and got a triple double. I couldn't ask for more

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I know I'd be the same, so I can't blame them. Don't think I blamed LeBron either. And wasn't LeBron walking off in 09 against Orlando? Sure I remember KG talking to LeBron after that 2010 series.

[sportsfan76]

I never had a problem with not shaking hands with a team you dislike

for what?


Wasn't it clear that Rondo can't stand Wade or Lebron?

[SpecialQue]

KG gets a pass. He's a legend.

Yeah, the legend of the dog-faced woman!

[tpols]

:applause:

[red1]

Don't see anything wrong it personally

[StroShow4]

Rondo and Garnett are both pricks. Surprise! Not.

[sportsfan76]

Just in case anyone doesn't know why Lebron was crucified when he left without shaking hands here is the reason

"Lebron was the FACE of the Cavs Franchise and it didn't look good"


Rondo is not the face and not even close to the superstar level Lebron is on
