    Go Peeler!  Forgot about Peeler taking him on.  Gotta love that.  The funny thing is, Bayless, Zaza, and Aldridge would all whoop his a**.

Kevin Garnett is getting a Rap Sheet, Video
NESW Sports, Sports Videos — Kevin Garnett is getting a Rap Sheet, Video. I have been razzing on Kevin Garnett pretty good over the last week. Truth be told, Garnett is one of the greatest active NBA players today. Unfortunately, his lack of quality leadership skills, reputation for trouble, and immature attitude are starting to catch up with him. The part where Anthony Peeler practically looks up and almost has to jump to hit him is definitely my favorite in this clip. Hat Tip Didn’t Draw Iron ...

Kevin Garnett: Profile in Courage
FanHouse — ... clips and narration of virtually all of KG's memorable dust-ups throughout his career in the Association. Fans of Garnett's love to defend these actions, citing his "passion" and "intensity." But I think when you look at the body of work so to speak, it's clear that the guy is a mental case who should be known for cheap shots as much as he is for anything else.

Kevin Garnett Cheap Play Over The Years
FanIQ Blog — As some of you may know, I've been a bit hard on Kevin Garnett of late. He's done a few things this year that have made him look like a cheap and dirty player. However, there have been a few of you out there who have reminded me that Garnett has always been this way. The thing is most people look past that because KG plays with "passion", but upon further reflection, he really is a dirty, cheap player who seems to enjoy pissing off opponents who he's much bigger than. Oh, and he has a somewhat violent past, having punched two teammates for no real reason when he was with the Timberwolves. Anyway, while I know fans of KG - and ...

The Saturday Love Fest
The Love of Sports — By E. Spencer Kyte Love of Sports Correspondent Welcome to Super Saturday here at the Daily Love Fest! We took a couple days off to retool and recover and want to start by wishing you all a Happy New Year. Yes, 2008 was a great year for The Love of Sports , and we know 2009 will be even better thanks to you, our loyal readers. Friday’s biggest news came from the NFL, as Peyton Manning was awarded his third MVP trophy on the strength of a nine-game win streak to close out the year at the helm of the Colts. Early on in the season, making the playoffs seemed like it was going to be a chore for Manning and the Colts, as the team stumbled to a 3-4 start while ...

Tribute to the Valor of Kevin Garnett
The Sporting Blog — As the weekend avatar for the Sporting Blog regulars, I feel it my duty to meet your expectations for the illustrious Bethlehem Shoals, TSB's NBA expert. With that in mind, I present the following unabashed Celtics hate in the form of a documentary on Kevin Garnett's career of valor and toughness. ...

One Week Until Our Biggest Test
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans — Lakers fans can say what they want, the Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as the biggest threat to the Celtics… if not for the mere fact that we’ll have to get through them to even get to the Finals. The ECF last year was an epic matchup that was won because Paul Pierce matched LeBron James.  But there’s no matching him this ...

Major League Jerk — Although NickP and I don’t agree on many things NBA-related (he likes stats, I like rings), one thing we share is a hatred for one Kevin Maurice Garnett. That’s why I knew he would love this documentary chronicling KG’s pussitude. As you can see, Garnett is scum of the earth, and frequently ...

Mad Ballin' : Is Kevin Garnett tough enough to repeat?
HotNonPorn.com — Losing two in a row is no big deal - but losing four out of six is, especially if you plan on repeating your previous season's title run. That's the slump that the Boston Celtics are going through right now - and they're going to have to bust it if they want to win another championship. At the risk of scapegoating the Celtics' Superintendent of Defense and Intensity, I ask : Is Kevin Garnett tough enough to repeat? Does he bring enough drama? For all of his noisy antics, ironically, it's KG that brings the least amount of drama amongst the Celtics' stars. Paul Pierce may be typecast as a Rocky Balboa - but he's a master at ...

Bobcats vs Celtics Preview
Queen City Hoops — The champs are coming to Charlotte, again. Their last trip to the Queen City resulted in a loss for the Bobcats, 89-84 Celtics: Boxscore from 11/29 Game Versus Boston. This is a new year, a new Charlotte team, and a different feel coming from the men in green. In the teams' first meeting, Boston came in at 15-2 and showing no signs of a championship hangover. A little over a month later, and they are starting to show signs of mortality, going 2-4 over their last 6, including losses to the Knicks and Warriors. Possible upset brewing in CLT? Well, maybe, but the Bobcats are only 3-4 in their last 7, including losses to...you guessed it, the Warriors ...

Stu’s Hunt Down: Anthony Peeler
Randball — peeler.JPG The Huntdown Name: Anthony Peeler Claim to Fame, Minnesota: long-range shooting specialist for the Minnesota Timberwolves from 1998 to 2003 . In addition, he was the player acquired when the Wolves traded away the last original Timberwolf, Doug West . Lest we forget, he also smacked KG in the 2004 Western Conference semis, which likely led to the Ticket’s immortal “couple of M-16s, couple of nines” comment . (Make sure to read Brad Miller’s rejoinder, which I missed at the time.) Claim to Fame, Everywhere Else: while a standard-issue NBA journeyman, Peeler was a standout at the University of Missouri , ...

KG Needs to Pick on People His Own Size
The Big Lead — Thumbed through the latest ESPN the Magazine last night - the “fan” one - and as usual, our favorite section was the back of the book. This quote from Ben Wallace about Kevin Garnett jumped out at us: “Does he handpick his battles, is that what you want to know?” Cleveland’s Ben Wallace says with a hearty laugh. “Well, that’s the word on the street. All I know is, he’s never said anything to me.” Nice. What prompted the quote was the list of players KG has sparred/jarred/jostled with this season: Portland guard Jerryd Bayless, Toronto guard ...

Will Rafer Alston be suspended for Game 3?
Orlando Magic Daily — Still no word from the league or the Magic on whether or not Rafer Alston will be suspended for slapping Boston guard Eddie House in the back of the head during Game 2. In case you haven't see it yet, here's the video: I'm sort of going back and fourth on this one, on one hand, it was a clear slap to the head, that seemed to come unprovoked. But Alston claims that when he and House collided, he caught an elbow to the stomach, "Eddie made the shot, I’m standing out of bounds letting him run by, and he runs by and shots an elbow at me," Alston told reporters after the game. "It was just a ...
