IC5: Will Eddie do the Numa Numa song for us?

So he used twitter to tattle-tale on KG and then act tough after the fact? Gotta love athletes today.

 

There's this thing called boundaries. I can understand trash talking but what Garnett said was scummy. Also, why is using Twitter any different than saying the same thing to the press?

During yesterday's game, CV was staring straight into his eyes and Garnett wouldn't look at him, acting like his normal idiot/**********cat self, and then he got subbed out of the game.

Garnett's the stereotypical bully. He acts tough but then gets scared when someone will fight back. It's not the first time Garnett's acted like this either bear in mind. I remember him trying to throw a punch at McDyess and then he freaked when McDyess started coming after him. He's a prick.

 

What is said on the court as trash talk stays there, Im sure it wasn't the worse thing ever said in the NBA on the court, but CV was the first player to ever run off and complain to his twitter followers. Sour grapes for losing.

Garnett is great at getting into people's heads, just like a lot of player past and present, a guy acting tough, wanting to fight him in a ring? Is evidence that it worked.

Garnett scared? You maybe biased, but come on, even you don't believe that.

 

There's trash talk and there's crossing the line. What Garnett said was crossing the line. Trying to excuse it as trash talk is pathetic.

Sour grapes for losing? I'm sure he'd have done the same had the Pistons won.

Garnett is a trash talker who gets scared when people square up to him. Always has been.

I have to laugh at this if you don't think Garnett gets scared. He does. He's been like that his entire career. You know how I mentioned his run in with McDyess? The instant McDyess went to confront him Garnett was running away.

What's really insulting though, is you trying to claim I'm being biased. Right. If Garnett were a Pistons player and said that, I'd be pissed at him. He's 34 and should know better.

It's amazing that some people are defending Garnett, trying to pass it off as "trash talk" and being part of the game. There are some things you don't say, and Garnett crossed the line.

 

Who cares, athletes say dumb shit all the time(I never defended what he said, btw so maybe calmdown, it's just sports, you're just a spectator)? Like most of the people said, handling by whining on twitter was silly, crossing the line or not, handle it yourself or keep it to yourself.

As for the rest of it, why anyone expects great athletes to be anything but great athletes is beyond me, and at the same time, calling a person scum for a comment they made while trash talking is just as silly. You have no idea if garnett is a saint or a rapist, like most athletes, you've never met him and spent time in his life.

And the logic of Garnett ever fighting someone on court, makes no sense, he attempts to anger players, if they lose control, he's won. Getting ejected and suspended, would defeat the purpose.

 

1. Would it be any different if he said it through the media rather than Twitter? Also, I'm relatively calm thanks.

2. It's called common decency. Sheed talked a lot of trash but he had his limits.

3. You know the saying of dishing it out but not being able to take it? That's Garnett. He's pulled off some dirty hits on players but the instant someone calls him out he backs down.

 

The announcers for the game last night said they were glad twitter didn't exist during Bird and Jordan's days, because we'd have hundreds of these stories about shit they said to guys that was as bad and worse

 

Grant Hill was mine when he was with the Pistons.

 

Amazing player before the injuries, triple double machine, scorer, great defender, one of my favorites to watch

 

Both conferences are ranked lower than the MWC and WAC right now, just saying

 

I dont make the rankings so I dont know, but those two conference have zero top teams between them right now, the depth can't be that much greater.

I just think the gap between "top" conferences, or Automatic qualifiers if you will is really closing.

The SEC and their fans are a bunch of jackasses who hate on any team from a smaller conference, look at the SEC East this season, you don't think TCU or Boise would be killing that division? And this is from a gator fan

 

The SEC East is sending South carolina to the SEC championship, with 3 losses.

Boise is 4-1 against the top 10 since 2000, they can only play the teams that will man up and play them
