Kevin Garnett elbowed Q-Rich in Game 1. UPDATE: KG suspended one game

[QUOTE=50inchvertical]You lay on the ground like you are super hurt and make grimace faces. The advantage, you get a bit of extra rest because it delays the game, plus you get to look like a hero when you "miraculously" bounce back. It's not like he hasn't done it before. He was carried off the court before in the playoffs, only to return minutes later. :oldlol:

Actress :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

We don't know if he is faking it or not, but a stinger is a stinger. Who knows how he got it or how bad it hurt him. Furthermore, it's game 1 and there is 40 seconds left. I highly doubt Pierce was looking for rest. Someone is going to foul or something anyway...get your rest there:confusedshrug:

does anyone have a link for q rich interview?

I waiting for JO to come in with a sliding punch.

If it really was cause he called them actresses....

Cmon. There's far worse in pretty much every pick up game. Not deserving of an elbow. What you should do is let your game speak, and then if you knock them out make a little oscar, best team acting like they deserve to be in the playoffs. Hand it to him after the last game.

Well that might be a little too much. Nm.

[quote="Jesus"]What do you think Kevin Garnett was trying to do?[/quote]
Get Richardson away from Pierce or just get Richardson off of him playing mind games of some kind. Then more people came around and emotions ran high, so he threw an extra elbow. Then he got out of there before he got into anymore trouble.

I dont know about Paul "faking". My knee popped one time and I thought I was DONE. I mean it felt when lie down on your arm, get up and it feels all "tingly". That's how my leg felt and then it went numb. I still played and afterwards went to the doctor to figure out its just a sprain. :lol

For those wondering if Richardson was coming in to help Pierce i suggest you watch this vid: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkPEZlVD8nk[/url]

They had beef from back when Quentin was still with NYK. He even challenged Pierce to a fist fight :lol

[QUOTE=BarberSchool][B][SIZE="3"]Quentin Richardson was approaching in peace to see if Paul Pierce was ok[/SIZE][/B], and in an extremely immature and asenine act, Kevin Garnett threw a small push with his elbow at Quentin Richardson. They exchanged words, and Garnett then threw a second, hard, violent elbow shot towards Quentin Richardson's head and neck. This type of behavior is absolutely intolerable, and steps need to be taken to eliminate this type of disgusting, childish behavior from this postseason, and from the game as a whole.

It's extremely shameful for KG to still act this way at his age.

I feel the league should send a strong message and fine him $25,000.00 and suspend him for one game for each elbow shot thrown.

How many of you see nothing wrong with the first "elbow push", but think KG should be fined and suspended for the 2nd, violent elbow shot?

How many other posters agree that the league should make an example out of this type of disgusting, unnecessary behavior?[/QUOTE]
Are you sure with this? FAIL!

Did you get carried or wheel chaired off the court, have somebody take your place, then come jogging back into the gym minutes later and finish the game? Furthermore, have you done it more than once?

Then the comparison fails

logic escapes some people. there are some who still believe PP faked an injury with his team down 10 in game 1 of the finals. I guess having a 270+ pound 7ft'er fall on your knee is not going to cause any pain if anyone overreacted at the time it was probably the medical staff that wanted to be extremely careful.

This was High School.

I wasnt an NBA star worth making millions for myself as well as my team and the league. I was not on an NBA Roster with doctors and advanced medical equipment.

I did leave, went to the locker room, decided I still wanted to play and have it checked out after.

No wheelchair.No jogging.

I dont think he mentioned @ what level basketball!!

Please, Garnett hardly deserves a suspension. This is the playoffs, and these interactions make the series more intense and the games more exciting.

Im a huge PP fan and in LA i believe the medical staff exaggerated and he milked it of course... Kobe,MJ have done the same shit.

PP is banged up and I believe he had a stinger, no player would act like that when you have the game dictated.

Q Rich and PP jaw all the time when they play and KG's elbow push was more like step off. then his emotions got the best of him with several people moving him.

KG should get one game.

Q Rich loses because the refs will pay more attention and PP easily can get his dumb ass in foul trouble.
