KG's two technicals vs Phoenix

[mmbaby]

Yes but there is peripheral vision, isn't there?

Read my points, oh nevermind.

You must know that doing the undercut submarine thing is illegal and is a foul.

I don't give a fig if you think I'm being disgusting by saying the truth. I am not going to excuse my own mother if she plays dirty.

Yeah and hitting people in the throat/head is not dirty or head butting is not dirty. I am just tired of the hipocracy mostly. It is ok to be dirty apparently as long as your name is not KG.

Oh please, this discussion was about one topic.

If you want to talk about how KG was hit in the head and how that was wrong, I certainly will agree.

Mixing up the discussion does not change the fact that what KG did was wrong. And my pointing out him playing dirty in this case does not mean I don't love him as a Celtic.

My point is that if KG was being dirty then we should mention other incidents that went on in the game. Hardly any outrage about anything other then this. Which I think is wrong and why I brought it up.

Looking at the replay again, KG clearly hit him in the family jewels on purpose.  So, for that, I think he did deserve to be kicked out.  My problem is that 2 technicals and a personal don't add up on that play.  I really did not see anything T worthy after the play from him.  I think they should have just called a flagrant 2 on KG, tossed him from the game, and gave Frye a technical for his reaction.  But they piled it on.

I don't think anything about that replay shows anything clearly at all! Amazing how everyone can see different interpretations in videos. But that is the way it goes in sports replays I guess

Kgs actions were embassasing to say the least. That NT was on purpose and that is very easy to see. Anybody defending his actions are loosing credibility quickly. The hit by MP was a seperate incident and was addressed, and if not then NT MP not a team mate! We were unfocused and it showed in every aspect of the game.
           
               KG should appoligize!! period.

This is where i really disagree.  While it was a dirty play, it happens all the time.  It is part of the game.  He got caught, and needed to be punished for it, but there is no way he needs to apologize.

Who gives a [dang].

KG is a bully, thats what he does. If you think he should get suspended or should apologize you know nothing.

I cant believe what Im hearing. You think McHale should have apoligized for purposely trying to tackle Rambis? Seriously guys, get it together. This is basketball not golf, physical contact is part of the game.

Why should KG apologize? The news for sports would then have to be turned over for every transgression by a player and there are many by many players in any game as in this game. This is why official issue fouls! That is plenty. KG got more punishment then he deserved by getting ejected. I think refs need to issue apologies sometimes though. It is very wrong that officials are allowed to do anything they want basically with little to no repercussions.

Pietrus should have been tossed for what he did and KG should have been tossed for what he did in my opinion. However, if Pietrus gets tossed for the intentional elbow to KG's throat/neck, then maybe KG does not pull his stunt.

[mmbaby]

Good point there, Vinnie.

Chris, I don't think playing dirty is acceptable and normal in basketball. It may happen a lot and may not always be seen, but when it is, it's hopefully called correctly. The game must have rules and lines drawn or dangerous and career-ending hits would routinely be made, which they're not.

No this is not hockey or football and definately not rugby, which I believe is a British sport. This is basketball where there are no pads or helmets worn by players. It is simply not comparable to these other sports in terms of physicalness. 

I still think this discussion should be more about the putting his leg under Frye as he was coming down. This is dangerous and that's why it's illegal.

[LooseCannon]

I think playing dirty should be acceptable.

I sure do hope if KG wanted to punch someone in the nuts he'd do more than just touch them. I'm sure if he wanted to, he could have punched the guy so hard that he wouldn't have got up for five minutes. This was like he stuck his hand out and it happened to touch the guy in that area.

Should KG not stick his legs under players as they make a jump shot? Maybe so. Should people not stick an elbow upside his head and neck? Yep. Do 2 wrongs make a right? No. Did KG do anything worse than they did? No. Like it's been said, maybe KG doesn't do anything at all if he didn't get clocked upside his head. If we gonna call it dirty, lets call it ALL dirty!

No he shouldn't!! I LOVE KG and everything he brings to this team!! I would say more in response to your post about "apologizing" but don't want to violate any CelticsBlog guidelines. By the way, you spelled apologize wrong.

And while we are talking about apologies..what about that dirtbag Pietrus? Shouldn't he apologize for elbowing KG?

No, it's always KG's fault, I forgot!!
