    It was just one play. Right?

      As far as I know, yep. Just one play.

      I'm a big Calderon fan, but this didn't make me dislike KG one bit -- I like to see a bit of fire in games!

    It disrespects Calderon and the game. Garnett comes off as "I'm on the champs and you're lucky to be playing with me."

     But yes, anyone can get caught up in the heat of the game.

      I know what you mean, and I do think Garnett looks stupid doing it, but also, everyone knows by now how crazy he is.

      It's also damn impressive the way he runs down the court keeping up with him whilst talking and waggling his finger (from a totally stupid aesthetic perspective) at 7'0".

    It was bush-league, and deserving of technical. It's one thing to talk trash, it's another to be a complete douchebag.

    I think everyone is entitled to a few questionable moments, bt that is just me.

    It is great that we are talking hoops again. I have loved these past 2 weeks. :-)
