Kevin Garnett's Big Mouth
Kevin Garnett's Big Mouth
Kevin Garnett has a big mouth. Everyone knows that. I blogged about it a little the other day. No more than a passing mention, it nevertheless got a big reaction. All kinds of e-mail and comments flooded in, with strong emotions on all sides. Apparently I had stumbled across one of the NBA's ...
Built up for years, Garnett now being torn down
Built up for years, Garnett now being torn down
examiner.com — The treatment of KG is like someone coming out of a locked room after 30 years, seeing his first ever sunrise, and then writing 500 words about a giant fireball that will surely kill us all. Nothing has really changed about Garnett but his address, but that won't stop the process of tearing him down (more) Built up for years, Garnett now being torn down

sports.yahoo.com — In the fourth quarter of Friday's Portland-Boston game, the Celtics' bench blew most of a 25-point lead. Needless to say, Kevin Garnett was not impressed.

Nothing to Click Here: Quick Golf Rant Followed by Linkage
Major League Jerk — ... I’m boring you…if you’re in the market for new golf clubs, avoid Taylor Made unless you’re buying them at a steep discount or buying their shaft pulls (/twss) or RAC MB’s.  They’re ugly and they’re far too expensive considering that in three months, you can buy your now-used club brand new for half the price you paid for it.  Doesn’t make sense, never will.  Now onto the linky goodness. The biggest douchebag in the NBA explained. (ESPN) Interview with those two Indian dudes who won that Million Dollar Arm contest ...

Allen Iverson Fined $25K for Comments to Fan
FanHouse — by Matt Watson Filed under: Pistons, NBA Fans, NBA GossipTrash talk is part of the game, right? Kevin Garnett has one of the biggest mouths in the league and he's celebrated as one of the league's golden boys. But while the league looks the other day when KG harasses an opponent all the way up the floor, it draws a hard line when players start interacting with fans. Allen Iverson was reminded of this lesson on Tuesday when the league handed down a $25,000 fine for comments directed at a ...

On Boston
Zaza's Playground — ... Henry Abbott over at True Hoop recently wrote a post on Kevin Garnett's "big mouth." He went through four different points of view on Garnett's competitive antics. As with most of his posts, Abbott's thoughts are clear, well thought out, and fairly unbiased. He presents each viewpoint with respect. Which makes my draw to everything negative about each category point to the fact that I have some serious irrational disdain for all things Boston Celtics. ...

I Saw Darius Miles Play Last Night
freedarko.com — ... Starting a tad late on my one New Year's Resolution (to blog more), and with no good reason. I admit that I've struggled quite a bit this NBA season, mainly as a result of breaking Free Darko's primary tenet of liberated fandom. I can't help it. I'm a Timberwolves fan. I hate when they lose, I love it when they win. I still struggle with KG's departure. I had to grit my teeth and simmer through those hotly contested weeks of the masses wondering whether KG is a punk . So, this has been a season of learning for me, learning to resolve cognitive dissonance, come to grips, and ...

Pyschology and the Celtics, Round Two
Forum Blue And Gold — ... Now, at first blush that sounds like a petty jab, but when properly understood I think it also serves to compliment our rival. Insecurity, like most primal traits, manifests itself in several ways. On the positive end, it fuels hunger, intensity, work ethic, common purpose, a chip on the shoulder – all to prove naysayers wrong. On the flip side, it fuels self doubt, wild swings in confidence, and a constant need to show others up. Boston is all of these things. They pile on the trash talk; they are hungry, devoted, on a mission; they are white hot with confidence one minute, ...
