I'm guessing that was a Lakers fan bringing out all the false stereotypes about KG he could find.

I know KG is not perfect but only trolls talk trash like that

I'm being objective and not get blinded being a Celtics fan. The reality is KG is studio gangster.

You call yourself objective and use "studio gangster" to describe KG...pretty ironic. You're just as objective as KG fans...they love him..you obviously don't...your choice of words made that clear.

...and please stop using the word reality when you've obviously not met the man in person or nothing about him. Hate to break it you..but TV personalities/athletes/celebrities have a life away from the camera too. Even "reality" tv is not hundred percent real.

This reputation that KG goes after smaller players is just stupid.  95% of the league is smaller than he is; of course he goes after smaller players.  But seriously, go ahead and forget that he's tangled with Duncan, Amare, Pachulia in the past.  He'll get in the face of anybody if it's warranted (and occasionally when it isn't).  

He sticks up for his players.  If Quentin Richardson is on Paul Pierce, KG will defend him.  Do you think it crosses KG's mind even for a split second that QRich is only 6'6"?  No.  Speaking of 'fake tough'...

Oh, and is 11 rebounds soft?  No.  He was missing shots tonight, and there are times when I'd like him to take over rather than looking to make the next pass.  That's not 'soft', that's 'unselfish to a fault'.  Not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.

Selective memory...

People who don't like him conveniently forget about his run-ins with Lamar Odom, Zaza Pachulia, Tim Duncan, Amare..

Or perhaps his back n forth with LeBron and Dwight last year.

If that makes you feel better, I understand. All I'm wondering how did Reality TV get in this discussion.

I don't see a reason why KG keeps yapping when he clearly can't back it up. Its not good look for a Hall of Fame player to go out like this. The last memories people will have of him is his antics not his game.

Hates human contact. Which explains why he can't guard physical Centers

That...or maybe it's because he is a PF. By your logic, Rashard Lewis, LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, DeMarcus Cousins, Josh Smith, Boozer, Luis Scola, Ryan Anderson etc. are all soft....heck, even Tim Duncan can't guard physical centers efficiently anymore...so, let's call him soft too.

Your generous usage of the word "reality" prompted me to make that comparison.

...he has one poor game and you throw out a statement like "he can't back it up anymore". It would have made more sense if you'd posted this last year. Perhaps you missed his game against LA in LA on Jan 30th. Yeah, how did that go again?

All of it coming from Rondo assists. Can KG even create his own shots anymore?

I love how people are bashing KG, you call yourselves C's fans?

Without KG this team would be garbage.

Decide what you want to hate him for...what are you arguing about...He is soft? or he is fake tough/studio gangster? or he can't guard physical centers? or he can't backup his talk anymore? or he goes after "smaller european guards"? or that he can't create his shots anymore?

If this is your idea to kill time until sleep comes calling, then it's not worth the time. I suggest some "reality" tv.

This post doesent make sense. KG isnt going to put up a monstorous statline everytime when facing Gasol/Bynum/Odom all night with no help other then a gimpy and tired Perkins who can barely make a layup right now.

I assure you with Shaq in the game this would be different.

C's with Shaq nullify the Lakers size advantage.

Today was the definition of why we lost the Finals last year, not enough size.

The main pieces we got to help that didnt play tonight hence the result.

No, if KG leaves, they will move on to Paul then...call him drama queen, fake tough etc.

Softball! What you can't handle the soundness of my argument? KG talks a big game but can't back it, or that he picks on European point-guards.

KG pretends & acts tough but in reality he is soft. KG likes to pick on European guards Rondo's size. Now that his athleticism is gone, mentally he has no confidence in his game any longer. That's why he takes more and more outside shots and rarely posts-ups. Unless if he can overcome the mental block and adapt his game, he should retire soon.

Wow. This can't be serious.
