OT: KG insults Melo's wife - Melo goes to C's locker room

Mikestro · Post #21 » by **Mikestro** » Tue Jan 8, 2013 4:33 am

WOW, haters galore over here!

KG got into Melo's head, made him shoot 6/25 and made him lose his composure. How the hell does this make KG a "fake tough guy"? If anything, Melo is the one who looks like a fool.

KG is a future hall-of-famer and is one of the best PF's to ever play the game. Period.

How can you hate on KG? With the game as a prime example you can see he is really good at what he does.

In all seriousness, as someone who watched the game, Melo really lost his cool. Went 6/25 and tried to play hero ball and it did not work.

I commend Melo for wantng to put that pussy KG in his place. Jonas V will wreck KG the next time the two meet up.

Wasn't Melo the same guy that punched Marty Collins in MSG and ran away? :lol:

, KG punked Melo and the Knicks

The man has been playing physical for years and years and has been the most intense player since the beginning of time and has never backed down from anyone(Duncan, etc...)

His trash talk works against the best of them;

Where is the "fake tough guy" coming from?

Because 90% of the time he tries to bully smaller players.

...and of course this:

hindsight = 20/20

In fairness, BC saw the talent in Bradley and was looking for an additional pick to draft him (same thing with Jrue Holiday) Let's not forget.

While this may be true, the bottom line is that he didn't get it done. Let's move on.

I don't get what this gif proves? All I see is Garnett got under his skin, which was Garnett was trying to do, and succeeded. I would love a player like KG on this team, a player who plays the game with passion and does what ever it takes to win. Tired of soft players like Jose and Bargnani.

2 fake tough guys going at each other...nothing new here

I think in hindsight, when his career is all wrapped up Garnett will be one of my favourite players of all time.

Post #32 » by **Geddy** » Tue Jan 8, 2013 5:11 am

I don't like either player, but you can bet if Melo was smaller KG wouldn't be backing away and not avoiding eye contact like that.

The reason KG backed away from Peeler was because that was during the playoffs and obviously KG wasn't going to retaliate and get suspended (which Peeler did, for 2 games).

He already is. Everyone will miss KG when he retires. Most will realize when he does... #Legend

KG is a b****. He usually picks on little guys... glad Melo fought him physically in a game.

Avery Bradley is a stud. His D is incredible. Demar doesn't stand a chance against him.

Bryan Colangelo is the worst GM in the NBA

BC sucks, I agree. But the Ed Davis pick was solid. Considering the players taken before and after him, he was a decent pick. He's had a better career than Cole Aldrich or Xavier Henry (the two picks before him), and the players that are better than him taken later (Bledsoe, Bradley, Sanders) are solid but hardly stars. Bledsoe is a bench guy, Bradley is a stud role player.

It also goes to show the problems with our franchise. I honestly think that Bradley would have bombed in Toronto - they would have groomed him to be the starting PG, like a westbrook type, when he really is a defensive 2 guard. Probably the same with Bledsoe. I'll bet both of those guys would have stunk in TO, then done really well on good teams like they are now.

BC may have made a lot of terrible mistakes here, but outside of Bargs, his first round picks have been pretty much on par with the value of the pick. I'm sure if the 2010 draft was done over, it would be something like:

1. John Wall
2. Greg Monroe
3. Paul George
4. DeMarcus Cousins
5. Derrick Favors
6. Avery Bradley
7. Eric Bledsoe
8. Evan Turner
8. Larry Sanders
9. Gordon Hayward
10. Al-Farouq Aminu
11. Ed Davis

Meaning that Ed Davis @ 13 was actually pretty good value.

Is this even true? I think he picks on almost everyone.

KG plays tough. But to paraphrase Zach Randolph.

"He wouldn't say that to me in the parking lot."
