ZAZA IS A MAN!!!

[TyroneSlothrop]

Seriously, I think you guys are giving props to Pachulia for the wrong reasons. When he stood up to KG he wasn't really asserting his manhood; he was actually trying to rile him up to get him ejected. I don't really understand why he barely played in the second half. Not that it did not work out well for the Hawks.

No...we are praising him because KG try's to play this tough guy image when he's not that tough. I think the media has the perception that the Hawks are scared of KG(the sports guy said they peed in their pants whenever KG talked trash). He threw an obvious elbow in Zaza's face after the play for no reason and Zaza got in his face and just stood there. KG has been doing this for years...trying to play the role of the crazy tough guy but when some 1 gets back in his face he usually stands there ala when Anthony Peeler two pieced him on National TV.

That's exactly what I told my wife when Zaza got in his face. KG will back down. He's a fake tough guy. Notice he backpedaled and then when a ref was in between him to stop him he pretended to step back up, knowing he'd be pulled aside.

If Boston can't intimidate Atl, you think Ben Wallace or LeBron will be intimidated by them? How about Detroit? They're getting exposed by the young, under .500, "not supposed to be here" Hawks. I love it.

How worth it would it have been for him to have just beaten the crap outta Zaza and making the whole team suffer? Sometimes being a man is more than doing what Zaza did. In a way I respect it, honestly, but I would much rather KG be a type of man who understands his team needs him and having him control himself.

don't get it twisted, fugazi a@@ garnett wouldn't be able to last one day in the war torn state that zaza grew up in

I think you're missing the point. He TRIES to come off as this "enforcer" who is so tough but he consistently does NOTHING when some one responds to his antics. If he knew he had to "control himself" then he wouldn't have tried to go after ZAZA AFTER the refs got in between. Zaza got in his grill and even brushed him back. If KG really wanted to go after Zaza then he would have done it when no one was in between them. The point is that he's *****made and his tough guy routine(dropping multiple F bombs,trash talking every time he scores,showing his nipple for some odd reason occasionally)is an act to try to intimidate people and it's no longer working.

Zaza stood up and represented for the Hawks tonight. The crowd loved it. In fact in my section we started a chant "Zaza, Zaza", but I think it was so damn loud in the arena it was pretty much indistinguishable.

I had high hopes for Zaza at the beginning of last season, he had some big games and I thought he would continue to improve his game, and although he really hasn't and has somewhat regressed from what I originally saw from him, he showed HEART tonight. He was the "Spirit Hawk" tonight so to speak haha. He carried Georgia on his shoulders tonight with his backing down of KG, both the Republic and the State, best believe!

Are you serious!!!!
Your laughing stock center starts a fight with KG, and because KG doesn't get himself thrown out of the game over some shouldn't even be in the league, NOBODY, that means he backed down?
I once had respect for you guys, but to applaud a scrub for unnecessarily making an as* out of himself is beyond me.


P.S. Where were all you die hard fans all year when your team couldn't give away tickets? Fair weather fans, perhaps? Guess you'd have to ask Bibby.

[JoshB914]

^^^ Actually the vast majority of posters on this board have been here all along. It's the casual fans that weren't going to games.

[16andRising]

Well, unbeknownst to Mr. Bibby, the C's wewre regularly selling out games last year with an awful team, so I suppose me and Mb are both wrong. Only difference is I'm man enough to admit it.

Yeah we don't care about that whole thing. It was stupid.

that was pretty awesome. im so happy that you all are bringing Boston back down to earth. their bandwagon fans dont deserve it. goodluck the rest of the way.

Ummm how many times did the Hawks sell out before the playoffs, dont get me wrong Bos has bandwagon fans but atleast they showed up the whole season

[SaintofKillers]

I love Zaza!

As for Dirk, I have mixed feelings. On one hand I would've liked seeing him grab West's hand and put him on a wristlock and tap him in the ass but in the end I'm glad he did the right thing and not cave in to his pride like any insecure heterosexual would do in that situation.

[Joe Kleazy]

All of these boston fans trying to say ZAZA should have let KG bow him and be passive like dirk are truly showing that the official KG tough guy mojo has been lost.

Had the LATE elbow not been thrown, there would have been no incident.

Hell of a game HAWKS. And like I said in one of your previous threads there is no ONE player on bostons roster that can stop JOE JOHNSON especially in the post.

[Liqourish]

KG has backed down EVERYTIME someone would go after him, until he was restrained and then he would act like a tough guy and pretend to man up while back peddling.

Zaza is just the latest memeber of the "KG is a pu$$y" club.

[gsuteke]

anybody got a pic of zaza and KG nose to nose?

Let's get something straight here. KG started the entire thing with Zaza. I am getting really tired of Boston fans talking about Zaza starting it and trying to get KG thrown out. That is moronic. The game film is out there. If you can't admit that KG threw an elbow first and that started it, then you have major issues. It would make sense if the Zaza foul they whistled had been a hard foul, but it wasn't. It was a weak loose ball foul.

Are you applauding KG for throwing that elbow? Were you applauding that scrub Rondo for throwing an elbow into Horford in Game 2?

And as for fair weather fans, yeah, we have plenty. But the fact is, most people who live in Atlanta were not born in Atlanta. The same can't be said for Boston. What's your excuse? I've had season tickets since our 13 win season a few years ago.

:rofl:

IMO, there's been a concerted effort to intimidate the Hawks players all series long and I think it is backfiring on the Celtics. If they had just been business like they might have swept the Hawks just on our team's lack of experience.

I was thinking this too. The Cs could have just destroyed the Hawks at home and acted like it was no big deal, instead they decided to rub it in that they were better than a 37 win team. They ended up firing the Hawks up more than I could have ever imagined and now you can see in their eyes, they don't want any part of this Hawks team.

KG shouldn't have thrown that 'bow, Zaza is a suprisingly fiery dude, the rest is history.

Thank you. With the Al/Pierce thing and now this, the Celtics fans, well, actually some Celtics fans have been acting like their team hasn't been talking trash ALL. YEAR. LONG. And now they try to minimize that KG elbowed Zaza. I don't care if Zaza is a scrub. KG is a HOFer who has to elbow scrubs to prove his tough guy status. You think he'd do that to Duncan? D. Howard? Shaq? Hell, he wouldn't even do that to Horford. I'm proud of our scrub center for calling him on his BS.

[JoshB914]

It's the sense of entitlement that bothers me. That team is acting like we aren't good enough to try and beat them. They talk smack and then whine when we come back at them, maybe they didn't anticipate us trying to win the series?
