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

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

He knows better than that.

Justice prevails.
What say you Celtics homers?

[QUOTE=thesighter]Justice prevails.
What say you Celtics homers?[/QUOTE] Whatever. We'll still get Game 2.

Didn't expect a suspension or find it necessary but if that's what it takes to nudge KG towards some respect, then fine.

LOL - Gay-G and Pauley Pierce both been exposed. Their image will always be remember as the NBA's PUSS! Bunch of Fake Thugs!!

LEt me get this straight, phil criticized the refs and got fined 35k, KG elbowed someone in the neck and got 25k fine... wow

It was the right call... You can't throw elbows, especially during stoppages of play. KG should know better and he needs to do a better job of keeping his emotions in check from here on out.

The suspension was the right call.

Wow what? Whats your point. I missed it.

I wanted to like Pierce, I really did. But after he threw up a gang sign like a f*ckin idiot, I started to really dislike him.

Hard for anyone to like KG at this point. It aint about emotions, KGs got a history of dishing out cheap shots and running away when he's about to get his comeuppance.

they will really miss KG's 10 and 6.:roll:

He had to be suspended. This is Miami's chance to get some momentum.

this
thank you

[QUOTE=GOBB]Wow what? Whats your point. I missed it.[/QUOTE]

It's that the NBA values it's refs more than it's players.

[QUOTE=GOBB]Wow what? Whats your point. I missed it.[/QUOTE]

Why are words dealt with more severely than actions? Doesn't make sense.

KG recieved a fine and [B]suspension[/B].

The ref situation is a very known issue the NBA has been trying to take control of. Phil Jackson knew very well the penalty for criticizing the refs but guess what? He did it anyway. The bigger the fine the better chance Phil bites his tongue next time so it doesnt become a habit of criticizing officials.

Really hoping Miami wins this series.

The suspension was well deserved. KG is such a punk. It was a total cowardly act.

I hope you have the same attitude next time the refs make bad decisions in a Philadelphia team game.

I'm lost part II.

How can we start a petition to send these two clowns to the WNBA? Atleast, have them banned from the NBA. Pauley and Gay-G are both fake ass puss! What a disgrace to professional basketball!!!!

If my reading comprehension was good (english is not my first language) I understood you were blaiming Phil Jackson for being so cocky with the refs, talking bad about them all the time and stuff...

My point is, I hope you say this same thing "its not right to blame the refs all the time" next time this same refs make bad decisions against your 76ers.

dont forget Phil has a history of bashing the refs.

thats partly why the fine was so huge.

its just like how Cuban got fined half a million for ripping the refs. The fine was so big b/c he has a history of ref bashing.

Yup, good point.

I'm blaming Phil for breaking a rule in the NBA where he questions the integrity of officiating which is a no no. And as mentioned by kentatm Phil has been a repeated offender which is why a fine would be hefty. The NBA wants to protect the officials from being bashed in the media. Whether Phil was justified behind bad officiating or not? You cant not express it thru the media. Thats my point.

If Sixers are in a game thats poorly officiated? My opinion on the refs doesnt come at a cost. But if the HC for the Sixers did? His opinions do come at a cost. I wont be crying unfair to fine the HC because I'm fully aware of the rule thats been in place for quite some time. Players know what they can and cant say, some tow the line because of how much they make.

Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say here.

Phil and his mind games.

Phil does not care for NBA's fine. That fine was to get into Kevin Durant's head. Phil is crazy with his mind games.

[QUOTE=GOBB]Yup, good point.

Yes I understand it now, and its fair enough.

Anyway, I dont agree with some of the rules the NBA has, this one is a clear example. Has nothing to do with you though, lol.

[QUOTE=Kevin_Garnett_5]This. Finally a non Celtic fan who isn't too blinded by hate too see the truth.[/QUOTE]

You two are so right. It should be perfectly legal to elbow people in the face. :wtf:

If that elbow wasn't on the basketball court it would have been assault.

He deserves the suspension. The hit didn't come during the game but came during a dead ball. **** him.

[QUOTE=phoenix18]Finally,someone gets my point. When someone is hurt, the first thing anyone says is back up so that the trainers(in this case)/doctors/nurses/etc can get over there have space to do their jobs. Q kept getting closer and closer until he got shoulder to shoulder with KG and then decided to take [B][I]another[/I][/B] step. I'm watching the replay, asking myself, "where is he going?". He could have realistically gotten any closer to Pierce, and he couldn't have stepped over because there were people on the other side.[/QUOTE]



So when someone gets close to you you just elbow them?:confusedshrug:

[QUOTE=Lord Leoshes]You two are so right. It should be perfectly legal to elbow people in the face. :wtf:[/QUOTE]
:roll: :roll: :roll:

I think thats what makes the playoffs fun to watch. So **** all of you. :lol :lol :lol

The strugs in this whole situation is that KG used to be the guy in 'Sota who busted his ass non-stop for a team/city that could not get over the top. People loved him for that and for his effort. He was respected.

That respect is gone. In Boston, the title was Paul Pierce's. It was for Paul Pierce, and KG played a HUGE part in that. Despite that...he is lost. He never won it with HIS team, nor he will NEVER be considered a Celtic great. Now, at the end of his rope, he has turned into a punk ass who mother f's everyone and has "fake rage" so that everyone will think he still plays as hard and carries the load as he once done.

I watch him play, and it is sad. Some really good players turn into role players at the end of their career and act like it. Bill Walton for the Celts was a good example of that. KG - he acts/talks like he's 1st Team All-NBA and every player in the league is getting pissed off about it. I've watched the NBA for over 30 years, and the stars have never been called out the way KG is getting called out. The people who run and up down the floor with him have had enough. So have I.

Wait when did PJ question the integrity of the refs? Didn't he say that Durant gets superstar calls and he doesn't understand why?

I agree with you on the Celtic great part.

He'll probably only be a C for a total of 5 or 6 years. While probably only bringing 1 ring, this is Pierce's team.

He'll have a legacy of not having pulled his first team to the Finals, and not having been around long enough to be a great Celtic.

Even though he is.

Justice has been done...

Surprised, but glad

I too was happily surprised that he was suspended....however, I was hoping that he would get a two game suspension - one for the elbow and one for running away like a little Carmelo.....
