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

[leopoldstotch]

because of that interview, Q may get a 1 game suspension for instigating garnett to throw the elbow. do you get a suspension for instigating a shoving match?

How can you fake or exxagerate a shoulder stinger? Not only that, but what is the advantage of doing it in the 4th quarter with 40 seconds left?

PP looked like a scared ***** after KG was ejected. Didn't he?

[jasonresno]

KG is a ****in gorilla.

["Jesus"]

LOL @ Garnett running away immediately after throwing the elbow.

[Timmy D for MVP]

A flagrant 2 is an automatic suspension right?

But they gave him two technicals. So what's the ruling?

Regardless at least one game suspensioni will happen but I expect 2-3. We'll see, it depends on who the league deems the one who started it.

Also I don't think I saw anyone out of line on Miami's bench or Boston's but we'll see what happens there too.

If you started it, yes.

KG started the whole thing...it didn't help that the refs called the game so badly against Miami that the Heat were "heated" and pissed off as well.

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.

And who has ever been suspended for "instigating" with words? Doesn't work that way. If anybody is suspended, it'll be KG, but I wouldn't be shocked if the league just overlooks this one since they have a tendency to be completely erratic with all their decision making.

But for reference sake, they suspended Dwight Howard for less against Samuel Dalembert.

Do you think he was throwing the elbow to inflict pain or something?

Q-Rich: 0 (May even be -1 after getting elbowed.)

for real, i lost respect for PP after that wheelchair fiasco. people will say of course you did you are a laker fan but i think all non celtic fans will agree.

so for the rest of his career, ill never ever believe that any injury of his is as bad as he makes it seem. i think only vince is comparable but at least with vince you almost believe him cause he doesn't come out like the savior from the locker room after playing up his injuries.

smh at pp lol. and yeah, kg will be suspended.

What do you think Kevin Garnett was trying to do?

[lilo]

seriously he was laying on the ground like he had a separated shoulder or broken collarbone..

He had a pinched nerve. It stings hard but the pain does not last long. This happened to him already for the third time this year.
