In the final minutes of last night's game, TNT showed an intense closeup of KG as they were heading back on D. It looked very much as though he was on all fours again (a la vs. David West a month or so ago). Was anyone at the game to confirm or deny this?

Maybe TNT did the "Fight Club" splice trick... if so, good one crew!

Yes, he was on all fours at one point when Delonte was bringing up the ball.  The crowd was going nuts at that point.

That KG is one bad...

"Shut your mouth!"

Thanks for the report... I'm surprised there's no mention of it on the telecasts...

He did sort of start into one then realized "Oops, here comes the ball and this actually isn't the best defensive stance" and had to hurry back up to a prone position.
Yup

Can't we come up with a better name than "the panther"? You say panther, and I think of the pink guy that does insulation.

I noticed that too.  I was yelling at the TV for him to get up off the floor.

How about just calling it "the eliminator mode or eliminator stance".

What about the "panther stance"?

Whatever it is the guy has loose rocks in in noggin and I like that! The elevator ain't going all the way up in that boy and that's a good thing.

Scooby,speaking about having loose rocks,a mental health counselor friend of mine attended a Celtic game recently,told me,her husband asked, if she brought any of her professional cards with her,she replied,why?he said,to pass out to a few of the players. ;D

it really wasnt a big deal yesterday...he was guarding ben wallace.  he probably could have remained on the floor and wallace wouldnt have scored.

  • The good ole days.
Yes, he did.  As Redz said, the ball came up fast though... and it looked like one Cav also kinda ran into him and made him stand up.  Here's the pic though:
