I would never talk trash about that mans Wife. I don't know him........ All I did was respond!!
3:43 AM - 3 May 2013

As many thought, Crawford says he didn't instigate or just talk trash to Anthony, he responded to something one of the clowns on the Knicks said.

They dress in all black to what they proclaim is KG's last game, Pierce's last game.
JR Smith says he doesn't know who Jason Terry is. He then goes on to hit 3 of 14 shots while Terry is 5 of 7 from three.
You don't think the Knicks had reason to be bitter or talk trash to the Celtics as they walked off after being embarrassed at home after their 'funeral' proclamation?
I Believe it was most likely something involving Felton considering how worked up he got.

Crawford just stood up for his team at their 'funeral'. One more distraction for Carmelo Anthony to deal with. More pressure on the Knicks.

Nothing at all wrong with what Crawford did besides letting it spill over to the end of the game perhaps.  But the Knicks have talked so much trash anything is fair game.  It's all getting under their skin at this point.

After the incident:

Video that has since gone viral shows the Celtics guard taunting the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony as the two players passed each other. Crawford had to be pushed away by teammates Chris Wilcox and D.J. White. Lip readers have already come up with several juicy interpretations of what Crawford said.

But Crawford denied his involvement, saying, “Not me. You’d better go talk to someone who was there.”

As seemingly everyone else in the building would attest, Crawford was indeed there.

...but when Jordan Crawford denies it on twitter, that's gotta be genuine, right?

It may or may not be, but it has more credibility with me than people who "reported" what he said, perhaps sensationalizing things.

I don't think that he said what was reported by some people, given the way his lips moved, but even if he did, the fact that he cares what people think, and by denying it understands that it is wrong and that his image suffers because of it, shows me a level of maturity that he didn't exhibit in Washington.

Either way, I don't think that he should be pilloried on here.

I'm not gonna post what he reportedly said about kg and lala but whew that's dirty.

Jordan Crawford has now joined the China 3 as salary filler and will be amongst the first players to be shipped out in an deal this summer. Doc and Danny hate immaturity and players that can have some knucklehead in them. Crawford is gone regardless of what he tweeted. Doc, Danny and his team mates know what went down. That's what truly matters.

[TheBig5]

These ex-Wizards players are all brain dead.

What does that even mean? He only responded? So someone else brought up Melo's wife and Crawford added to it (sounds unlikely), or Melo's wife wasn't discussed? Or he is talking deceptively?

[Fred Roberts]

I'm surprised the Celtics haven't suspended him yet. A DNP guy cannot be a distraction. Fab Melo should have known better than to hang around himself. Both should be in street clothes tonight.

We all know Crawford is a knucklehead. Am I defending him? No.

Is this over blown? Yes.

JR Smith goes ahead to foul Terry with a flagrant, gets kicked out the next game, which they proceed to lose. Then says something that dismisses Jason Terry's existence/career. Which I find is ironic, because two months ago, JET would've said the same thing about his career. Not to mention the rumors of him drinking and partying heavily doesn't help him look professional either.

Then Kenyon Martin says something even worse, by being immature, and proclaiming that Wednesday, would be our funeral. Going as far as enough to tell his entire team to wear all black, then publicly stating it. Which I will type, that I'm surprised Mike Woodson let his entire team do it in the first place.

Not only did they go home dressed like Men in black. But Kenyon Martin's response to a reporter was with an angry and dismissive tone, "If you want to talk about basketball, then talk about basketball."

So you made that outrageous, yet offensive statement to us, and now you can't back it up with all that trash you talked? Sure you went 3-0. Guess what? Its now 3-2. And your going to be in our home court, surrounded by fans who will be up roaring every mere second of the game. Even if we lost the game, it'll show off the fact that you couldn't close out a simple sweep.

If what Jordan Crawford said is all true, I have lost a lot of respect for him. But the Knicks trash talked first. And I find it funny that Lala is now responding to Crawford, but didn't say anything to KG. Is she embarrassed, or is it all true?

In the long run Crawford was at the wrong, but what was Fatboy Felton doing getting all mad and flustered? If what Crawford said was true, then none of that pertained to you, and you shouldn't have even run the risk of getting thrown out for fighting. If anything, if Crawford gets ejected next game, then I'm pretty sure Doc/Danny will think hard about this in the off season. I just hope if Jordan gets ejected, so does Felton.

Who cares what the Knicks were doing? Be a professional, mature person and leave the court and let the Knicks act like the petulant children they are.

He means Melo or Felton were the ones trash talking him in the first place and he responded back. He's saying he doesn't know Melo or his wife personally so he wouldn't/didnt go there still believe after watching the video his last words are before I bleep you up or gonna bleep you up...don't know what the big deal is guys tell each other this all the time. If you watched the game before it showed Crawford it did show Melo jawing something of his own.

Haha yeah. People dojt like Crawford so they jump on this .

You see at the end of the game melo talking to the Cs bench. No one has any idea what wassaid or who started it.

All you see is the end result and people draw their conclusions.

I love ppeople acting like they know what happened either way. People on here the Herald etc. I mean give me a break haven't we realized especially in the last month or so how bad qnd lazy some news outlets can be with reporting information?

Exactly.

[perks-a-beast]

the knicks wore black because they thought it was pierce and garnett's last games? If so that is crazy disrespectful....
