Not great quotes from KG, but I'm willing to let it slide because he said what he said in a state of being p---ed off.....It's like when you spill your orange juice and your companion says: "Way to go Clutz." Or you hurt someone's feelings accidentally and then get called an ****" We all get upset and defensive in those cases....
I'm not prepared to ever criticize KG's effort. His play yes. Effort no. If he looks lame out there then he's tired. He's played too hard over his entire career for me to question the effort now. And he's done too much for the Celtics. Just as I would never go the park and boo Ortiz. I'd never boo KG.
I also think, in today's media saturated market, players are not just reacting to the fans in the stadium. They are also reacting the general media climate, striking back at it if you will. Not saying the players read the blog, but the media does and I'm sure plenty in the media are also blog members (is that against blog rules?)
Anway, the blog helps set the media tone in this city, and it can get pretty rough and at times ugly on here. So, imo, it's not just the booing that players react to at times.
Agree though. Paul got it right and KG wrong. But I see no need to start a fight with about it. I believe in his effort and I believe he cares. It's that other tall vet I worry about in the caring department....
