I love how everyone on here feels that they have the right to judge with skewed evidence. I agree KG was a bit out of hand last night, and walked a thin line over an ejection, but all of these judgments being made on him are based on what you see as a fan from a far, what idiots on twitter post and you blindly believe, or pure judgment of what you see on the court with no recollection of what is being said on the court.
If KG is such an emotional guy, then couldn't another player really p--- him off just by saying something extremely rude or personal to counter KG's playful trash talk? KG trash talks about the game and that is it. He may swear, he may yell, he may use symbolism to get his point out there, but I doubt he goes around instigating comments like "your a cancer" if some young punk doesn't first disrespect him by: saying something fight worthy (mother comments etc), or disrespect him as a veteran in this league. (he is a 14 time allstar, has a ring etc.)
I believe the point of this thread was that KG is highly over emotional right now, and that punk players are realizing this and trying to beat KG at his own game of mental intimidation.
Barrera's play looked bad at first, but upon slow mo replay, you can see KG barely creating space with his hand and Barrera clearly flopping, almost to the point that he made it look like KG shot him up in the air like a Hollywood boxing match. Then, you will see Barrea (how is he in the nba?)laughing after the play like KG is the crazy one. Upon further review you will see that Barrea grabs KG's one arm (the one he pulled away) alone, instead of "wrapping him up" as your supposed to with two arms in that type of play, also you have no idea what Barrea said to him as he hooked his one arm cheaply. Now, in saying all this am I stating that KG has been smart about the way he carries himself on the court lately? NO. He should be outsmarting these players and not letting them vilify him through cheap flops, stare downs and crying to the media when he is mean to them.
Having said that, I am shocked that some of you are echoing the the thoughts of our opponents twitter feeds. "He's a pseudo tough guy, probably couldn't really fight" Thank you Jokim Noah, err, I mean three people on this board. Way to drink the kool aid of the other teams propaganda feed.
And again, my main point is this: you have little to NO idea what is being said on the court, and until they mic up every player in the league this is all speculation on your part, based upon the brief interactions on the court, or the follow up stories which are heavily manipulated by the media in order to create some drama.
