The pick he set on Miller was unquestionably a dirty play.  A good clean pick can do just as damage and have the same affect on the opponent (witness Ilgauskas' pick on Rondo moments before).  Once KG lowers his shoulders on his picks he crossed the line in Dirtyville. 

Did it get the message across?  Yes.

Did it set Wade off into coming a flagrant? Yes.

Was it dirty?  Yup.

Yup

He'll have to do that ALOT more to be a dirty player imo. What Wade did after was dirty too but does not make him a dirty player though.

Is coming to the defense of a teammate who has been the victim of a dirty play, dirty?

Ilgauskas leveled Rondo legally.  Perfectly legit for KG to target Miller with a clean pick on his own side of the court, but lowering his shoulder makes it a dirty play IMO.

I'd say leaning his shoulder in on picks is KG's most frequently used "dirty" play.  He gets called on in pretty frequently.
Yup

Is a player defending a teammate dirty? Yes if what he did was dirty. And he got a flagarnt for it. So do you think something is not dirty because you are sticking up for a teammate? I disagree as do the refs. That is ridiculous actually to me if you are retaliating that you can do whatever you want and it would not be considered dirty.

gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

I agree with the refs calling a foul on Wade, but I think KG committed a foul on Miller that wasn't called. If someone pulls a dirty move on your teammate like that a little shove on the shoulder is warranted to keep him in check.
Yup

It is still dirty. Something does not become a clean play based on retaliation imo. Dirty is dirty. I just know that if KG had retaliated and situation was reversed people would call him dirty for doing it. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this.

I agree that KG's pick was dirty.  I'm absolutely glad that he plays like that, too.  However, if Bosh did the same thing, I'd be calling him a cheap shot artist.

I personally feel that the beauty of this season is that we've learned how to be the initiators and not the retaliators...that's one thing that bugged me the past couple seasons about this team...I felt like we were pushed around by other teams sometimes, and then we would retaliate and get technicals. This year, we're pushing other teams around, and as a result, they are getting all the technicals. It's fun to watch  ;D
