As the Knicks best player by far - NY needs him.The game of Basketball is mostly mental...C'mon, Melo!KG is too old for all this on the court he'll kill you obviously but have a feeling at the AS game he will probably be the bigger man, dap him up and tell him my bad "I'm still gonna bust your chops but wont go that far next time." They already made up supposedly.I see your point, but the day KG stops talking trash he might as well hang up his sneakers. He's ALWAYS looking for an edge - and he got one.That Knick win was SUPER important for BOS..we now have a Chemistry-Enhancing, Momentum-Building three game winning streak.I'm glad KG did what he thought he had to do...KG sacrificed looking good for the TEAM.That game was important.If KG is still playing when he's forty I'd hope he still has his edge, lol.

"Well, No. 1, I know what's been reported did not happen," Rivers said adamantly during his weekly interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI. "I know that as a fact."Pressed further on Garnett's rumored remarks, Rivers said: "That did not happen."
Garnett, known as a trash talker, stuck to his usual routine and did not speak to the media before Wednesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.He did issue a statement before the game.“I am aware there was a major miscommunication regarding something I said on the court last night. My comment to Charlie Villanueva was in fact: You are cancerous to your team and our league,’” Garnett said. “I would never be insensitive to the brave struggle that cancer patients endure. I have lost loved ones to this deadly disease and have a family member currently undergoing treatment. I would never say anything that distasteful. The game of life is far bigger than the game of basketball.”After Boston’s overtime victory over the Bucks, he was asked about his emotions on the court the past two games, but not specifically about Villanueva’s tweet. He also drew a technical along with Andrew Bogut in Boston’s 105-102 victory.“I’m a passionate player,” he said. “If you don’t like the way I am … I play this way the last 15, 16 years. I leave it on the court.”One of Villanueva’s tweets read: “KG called me a cancer patient, I’m (mad) because, u know how many people died from cancer, and he’s tossing it like it’s a joke.”Rivers defended his forward while wondering why someone would need to share in-game comments.“I actually heard what Kevin said. I was right there, what he really said is in the statement. I’m going to leave it at that,” he said. “I don’t like the whole tweeting thing. I’m going to state that as well. Guys talk on the court. It doesn’t mean they should or shouldn’t. The fact that we’re talking about this, it’s just silly. It really is. We had a hell of a game yesterday and we should be talking about basketball.“Talking about what the guys said during the game, there isn’t a place. I don’t find a place for it.”
Hope Indy beats the Knicks
Surprise KG didnt get fined b/c he plays for the Celtics!!
Quote from: Birdman on January 09, 2013, 08:08:49 PMSurprise KG didnt get fined b/c he plays for the Celtics!!Why would he fine him for being on the Celtics?How many times can you ignore events like this in order to push a fantasy that the league hates the Celtics?
Imagine Caramelo plays with Golden State or Atlanta... How many games is gonna be suspended?
