Ever since “Suckerpunch” gave a cheap shot in a pick-up game to his own teammate Rick Rickert (rookie had the audacity to score on KG), I’ve lost all respect for Garnett. He’s one of the greatest players, without question, but he’s got some serious and severe insecurities going on inside his head, and judging by his recent tough-guy antics, it’s just going to get worse. Classless douchebag is exactly the right description.

people are hating not the C’s organization, but the C’s players – them acting like douchebags and all:

pierce – proclaims self as best player in the world
KG – became more bully, more loudmouth, exaggerated intensity / borderline insanity

forgive me if my memory’s crappy, but i didn’t remember the previous championship teams act like that, particularly the spurs…

What is the different from this year than last year? Nothing. KG has alway had the same intensity and acted the same way throughout his career. Duncan, Peeler, McDyees, Hammonds,etc, etc. And all this was doing his T’Wolves days

@Smitty313
When you said “Now you got guys who barely play talking” are you talking about Eddie House. If so, last year at beginning of the season my homeboi who is a huge Knick fan said Eddie House was talking noise from the bench throughout the game. This have nothing to do with the championship because House has alway been like that.

People are hating Boston because they won the title at that is it. No one was talking this noise last season but now they are called classless when the Celts acted the same last season. Last year at this time alot of people on this board was hating the Spurs the same way. The way I see it if a team win the title, next year the team will be the most hated team on Dime.

Pathetic. Dime, you’re better than this.

Instead of bringing up this type of petty nonsense, you should be celebrating the Celtics for being one the better basketball TEAMS in recent memory.

Of course, fantasy nerds DO have a hard time seeing anything that doesn’t show up in a boxscore.

Classless?

Yes.

But the bigger problem is the silly goatees that Pierce and Garnett are growing.

It’s one thing to think of yourselves as basketball royalty, but to try and emulate King Tut is just silly.

I don’t get why people are saying that KG has lost his mind now that he won that chip. He’s always been crazy! What the hell is the difference now?

They did say something when he Piston did it to the Bulls. They said it was classless. I love KG and his intensity, but this year I do think he’s taking it to far. That incident with Calderon was not called for. The Celtics didn’t act like this last year, they were humble. Now you got guys who barley play talking shit. No one likes a bad winner.

Well I for one am all about it, classless or not. Over the past few years the league got “Sissified” to take a quote from Friday. People going out to dinner and clubs before/after games and such. After that we wonder why there arent any more rivalries. Think teh heat and the knicks from back int he day palled around like that, or the bulls and pistons. Shit more teams need to get punked like that. More teams need to step up and be the bad guy, the league is too sweet
