Celtic's Garnett Trash Talk Is Making Him Look Bad

After the game, Blazers assistant Maurice Lucas just shook his head and said nobody trash-talked like Garnett during his playing career, because, "Back then, it was only a $50 fine for punching a guy in the mouth." Oregonian

He must have a selective memory then.

oh wow what a suprise.. yet another celtic thread

in all seriousness though u should check out the topic on the c's board ca;;ed "kg on weei". he did an interview the other day and this question actually came up. his response was what i expected but u can form ur own opinion. i dont think kg is actually being an ass to the opposing teams he really is just trying to keep himself and his team up. but u can judge for yourself

also the other thing i meant to add is that most of the time he is having a conversation with himself. kg is more..."special"

than a jerk

He had to stay humble for so long because he wasn't on a team that looked like it was going to win a championship (even though they went to the WCF no one thought they'd beat the lakers).

I've seen him do/say a few things that come off as arrogant this season which I didn't think he would do. I feel that he deserves a pass for now, but his comments are coming off as mean-spirited rather then teasing which if they continue then I'm no longer going to root for KG to get his ring.

Rachel Nichols: Kevin, 'pewing33ny' said he is no longer supporting you if you keep the comments up.

KG: No, not pewing! *cries on floor of TD Garden*

Everyone trash talks, it's not a big deal. And I'm sure it was a lot worse back in the 80's, with the Bad Boy Pistons around.

You obviously don't get it huh ? What Mo is saying is that after a while you got that ass beat for poppin ya chops too much and players back then didn't mine giving out a 50 to get his off.

In other words if KG had played in Mo's day his ass would have been checked already.

I don't think there are many players in the NBA stupid enough to start a fight with KG...

But he doesn't, so Grandpa Lucas is going to have to come to grips with players talking ****, wearing baggy shorts, and listening to that "hippity hop music".

And I'm sure this has nothing to do with the Blazers, you know,
losing to KG and the Celtics. No, not at all...

Who should be afraid of him ? Would he talk trash to Shaq ? I got that answer.............Hell No ! What KG is doing is gloating but karma will come back to get that ass just watch.

what's he gonna do, RUN BACKWARDS and swing in the air while running backwards so he's nowhere near the guy he's punching? Ask Antonio McDice about that :lol:

it was positively Melo-esque.

I'm half kidding, i like KG though.
