KG is not Kobe. He doesn't complain about coaches. He respects Doc and follows along. The man was like Iverson in his prime: he almost never left games. From what I can infer, he loves to play. You think he wants to sit after playing the first 4.5 minutes?
No, sorry, I did not mean to imply KG would Kobe to the media. He definitely would not. But he would tell Doc he wants to play and he would not look so calm when he comes off the court. Doc, I believe 100%, would let KG play if KG demanded to play. The only way I see KG losing that argument is if he is injured. But if KG ran off the court and said to Doc, "Coach, Im feeling it tonight, let me play" I guarantee Doc would get him back in quickly.
Really, that's what you're going on? You're guessing that KG would implore Doc. Actually, how do you know he hasn't and Doc declined?
I don't know that anymore than you know he has. I am speculating, which is a common blog activity. KG is a fighter and I simply do not believe with the Celtics struggling he would just placidly sit on the bench like a puppy cause "Doc told me to." I also do not believe Doc would insist on it without KG's acceptance. That three year deal was specialized - KG's words - to allow him to return.
We are both speculating on what goes on between Doc and KG. I would not be surprised if either of us are wrong...ok I would be a little surprised if I am only because of KG's character. But if he is complaining to Doc, asking to play and being denied, then I will agree that Doc is an idiot. Seems highly unlikely to me that conversation is happening.
