Short Like Leprechauns
Kevin GarnettBold prediction: When we drop our updated NBA Hit List power ranking next week, the Celtics will vault the Lakers for the #1 spot. Given the events of this week and what we saw last night, you can see where we’re coming from … Overcoming one of Kobe’s off nights (5-for-17 FG’s, 23 pts), L.A. was headed for a ho-hum win in Washington until Caron Butler went nuts in the fourth quarter. Locking down Kobe on one end (except for that icy Mamba banker with 25 seconds left) and getting tough buckets on the other, Caron (26 pts, 9 rebs, 3 stls) had the Wizards down two with 14 ticks left. After Kobe missed a free throw, Caron got off a good-looking three over Trevor Ariza at the buzzer, but missed. You could say Caron milked the clock too much, but as he said in the post-game, you don’t want to let Kobe get the ball back if you can help it … It’s not the end of the world and they’re still 16-2, but the close call had to scare the L.A. fans who are already handing their team the Larry O’Brien. We don’t care if Ed “Obama” Tapscott gives the greatest locker room speeches in the world, any team that starts The Other Dee Brown at PG shouldn’t be hanging around like that against a team with the Lakers’ talent … Kobe’s off-the-glass pass to himself followed by the mid-air pass to Pau Gasol was filthy. The backwards double-clutch dunk on the break was nice, too … The Celtics, meanwhile, had no trouble running Portland off the court, slapping on that championship-level defense and turning it into transition buckets and wide-open jumpers. Doc Rivers was resting the starters in the third quarter, but a late Blazers run forced them back in for a minute to close it out … Unless we missed it, there was no beefing between KG (14 pts, 11 rebs) and rival Joel Przybilla, but Garnett had his own issues with Big Baby. After getting some tough love from KG when the C’s backups got worked over in the aforementioned Portland run, Baby had a meltdown on the bench and was literally crying and screaming at people … Coming off our Yao Ming vs. Dwight Howard debate, both guys had dream matchups to help prove their case for who’s better. As usual, the Warriors had nothing for Yao, who torched them for 33 points and 14 boards and fouled out Ronny Turiaf in the span of what seemed like five minutes (it was actually 23 minutes). Dwight had the Thunder on his menu, who last month fell victim to his first triple-double (30 pts, 19 rebs, 10 blks). This time he finished with 21 points, 23 boards and six blocks …
LeBron James (photo. Mannion)Hopefully you didn’t tune in to Cavs/Pacers to see LeBron and Danny Granger give each other buckets, ’cause what you got was a lot less Bird/’Nique and a lot more Artest/Bowen. LeBron — who said he would dedicate this game to defense since Granger is the key to everything Indiana does — only scored 11 points, but held Granger to just four. And like ‘Bron said, the Pacers had NOTHING else, failing to crack 75 points … Anderson Varejao Hair Night was cute, but seeing an arena full of people looking like Carrot Top was something out of a nightmare … Donyell Marshall? Really? With Elton Brand out, Mo Cheeks went deep into the cupboard and dusted off Donyell against the Pistons, and not only was he on the court in crunch time, he hit the game-winner. On a pick-and-pop that didn’t have one bit of “pick” in it, Donyell nailed a three over a stunned Rip Hamilton with 35 seconds left. Guarding Donyell on a switch, it was like Rip saw him get the ball and thought, “No way he’s shooting this,” and hesitated before stepping up … Somewhere, Sam Mitchell feels a little better. The Raptors looked awful (again) in interim coach Jay Triano’s debut, a national TV piecing at the hands of the Jazz. We’re not sure which looked worse, the defense or the offense. The Jazz were simply running their usual stuff and getting whatever shot they wanted on the Raptors, who also committed 23 turnovers and weren’t hitting their threes. In Toronto’s defense, they’ve only had one practice with Triano … If you saw Matt Harpring (14 pts) hobbling around wincing and grimacing, his knees and ankles and back shot to hell, and wondered why he keeps going, perhaps you saw Raptors’ rookie Nathan Jawai on the bench. Jawai hasn’t been able to play this year due to a heart condition doctors discovered over the summer, and last night he looked absolutely miserable sitting there with nothing to do. If you’re Harpring, you’d rather be on the floor with your body breaking down on you than in Jawai’s seat, facing the possibility of never playing again. But if you truly love this game, you already knew that … We’re out like Big Baby’s maturity …

i laughed out loud when the camera cut over to turiaf going to and then sitting on the bench while the graphic of how many minutes he played came up on the screen.
I also shook my head and smiled when i thought about how much damage dwight did to durant and them while looking over the box score. 6 blocks is mean…but not really.
i also feel sorry for maggette cause he must be living in his own little/big world and in that world it’s the law to take it all the way on fast breaks when you have numbers or when you don’t have numbers. it’s also the law to shoot all the time and pass only when you feel like surpising smity (watching the game on tv) with a pass. Little does corey know that his world, however big or small it is, is part of a bigger world that has teammates of his that are capable scorers and whatnot…but he just doesnt know and for that i pity him.
and i pity myself for pitying him. and mr. t pities the fool (or does he still?)
but on another note it is fun as hell watching stephen jackson seem to (outright) refuse 2 passes in a row to a wide open maggette for the sake of shooting contested threes (one an airball and the other a pull up from damn near half court that went in).
and Don nelson must have just said “f it.” (probably like a year ago…)

Y’all make it sound like the great majority of fans go around saying Kobe is the greatest of all time, which is absolutely not true.
The great majority of fans argue that Kobe is one of the best players in the NBA, which I don’t is a stretch at all. The only way he’s overrated is if you don’t think he’s one of the 3 best players in the game right now, and you’re probably an idiot if you don’t think that.
December 6th, 2008 at 8:01 am
Smitty313 says:
Besides Kobe, Lebron is the only person who would have taken the Smush Parker, Kwame Brown Lakers to the playoffs. How is he not in the top three in the NBA. D-Wade will probably miss the playoffs this year. Yall actin like your boy is fallin off because his stats are down. He’s shooting probably the best percentage he’s ever shot, playing less minutes, and taking less shots. Kobe is letting his teammates shine.

The Celtics game summed up every reason I like KG. The intensity, getting in the face of his teammates, then coming back out in the fourth to get it done. Gotta love the guy, even if he can be a bit over the top.
The Raptors suck and I don’t know why they’re this bad. The Canadian TV broadcast had an interview with Colangelo as the game started getting out of hand and it was painfully awkward as the score started getting ugly and Colangelo had to yell over the crowd. Almost as painful as the Raps having energy and playing well only for the first five minutes of the game. Sure, the team has holes. But with the talent out there the Raps should at least be competitive. A three-man big guy rotation of Bosh, O’Neal and Bargnani should be killer inside and out. What’s going on here?

and as far as kobe goes, he realizes he doesnt have to do as much work now as he did two years ago, but i am guessing he will start killing after the all-star break…
and did anyone see Vince get dunked on by kevin love….KEVIN F***ING LOVE…its like eddy curry beating devin harris in a full court sprint

Kobe Bryant was really forcin up shots he normally makes over Caron but he missed them. and when Caron went “Fuck this. i wanna win” mode. he went crazy. i hope the wizards play like this the rest of the year the way they played the 4th quarter because if they did. we’d get outta the 3-14 hole faster.

you look in the boxscore this morning and you see Al Harrington had 27 on 12 for 25 shooting- and you think not a bad game.
The knicks take the ball out with about 7 seconds left and down 3. He gets the inbound pass and he’s open above the 3 pt line straightaway-and he drives to the basket-he’s fucking wide open!!! then he gets to the bucket and throws it back out to duhon who cant get a shot off and the ball comes back to al and he has to force up a contested 3. WTF?????Scared to take the last shot-at least Caron wanted to take that last shot aganist the lakers.
Fucking Knicks-thank you for allowing me to vent!

Amar says:
Big Baby was a mess, but then again, when interviewed by Chris Bosh (for Leno) in the finals last year he let slip that he watches Sex in the City. so yeah . . .
Utah looks crappy and then they look good. Top level teams should be a bit more consistent . . . I guess it’s easy to look good in a game when you finally are getting people healthy though. Utah straight up worked Toronto’s big front line without Carlos Boozer. Imagine what they would have done with Boozer in the game?
Brewer had a nice two hand put-back and CJ had his regular “how did this guy end up dunking on me” jam during the game. Best dunk of the night was Joey Graham absolutely brutalizing a slowly rotating Mehmet Okur. It was a genocide level dunk.
Props to Harpring making layups, as a long suffering Jazz fan (since ‘87) I’ve seen countless games where Harpring gets all the same passes like he got last night, but would rather bobble the ball out of bounds or miss point blank layups instead of actually scoring. He must have popped a few viagra before the game or something.

Celts Fan says:
Anyone saying Kobe’s overrated is dumb (unless you think everyone’s trying to say he’s up there w/ MJ, which that talk is no officially dead forever.) Ya, his #s are down, but that’s what happens when you’re on a good team with other good players. Share the ball, bust your ass on defense, don’t worry about your shots, and play til June. KG, Ray, and Paul’s #s all dropped the past 2 years, but it doesn’t matter. Winning means everything. If you’re on the 2nd best team in the NBA (by record, not trying to start a big thing here) and you’re the best player on that team. You’re not over-rated.
On KG, there’s nothing wrong w/ running your mouth. If he ever truly crossed the line, he’d get T’d up much more. He gets as close to that line as possible, but most of the stuff you guys are talking about happen right in front of the refs. It’s not the most tasteful thing in the world, but I’d rather intimidate people and win than be a classy loser. Anyone w/ half a pair knows KG’s not really gonna do anything. You see Sergio last night? He just pushed right by him and ignored him with a smirk on his face. If you’re mentally strong, it’s just funny to watch, if you’re soft inside, he’ll get in your head. Again, I’d rather win than be a classy loser.
I was at the game but was too busy watching the actual game to see Big Baby. Gotta bust out the Tivo and check that out. Crying like a bitch, really? too funny. I guess that just made the long-term, “do we keep Leon or Baby, cuz 1 has to go?” decision.
oh, and Rondo casually put up 15, 8, 7, and 2 while pestering the Blazers PGs all night and pacing the team w/ the best record in the NBA. LOVE that man…
December 6th, 2008 at 11:39 am
baron von faulk says:
“On KG, there’s nothing wrong w/ running your mouth. If he ever truly crossed the line, he’d get T’d up much more.”
ugh, please fella, he should get T’d up MUCH more but gets the superstar treatment, and I think you know this.
Most players are allowed an intermittent “Bullshit!” from time to time but KG is all “muthafucka this, muthafucka that”, straight obscene all game long. It’s quite juvenile actually. Didn’t he yell “Yeah muthafuckas!” after winning the ‘chip? Oh now that’s classy, kids everywhere are calling each other motherfuckers now.
Whatever happened to sports figures like Barry Sanders, whom after a touchdown would hand the ball to the ref and go back to the sideline instead of doing some preposterous endzone celebration. Yeah, yeah I know, it’s supposed to be entertainment, whatever.
“Again, I’d rather win than be a classy loser.”
Which is what your boy Ray Allen used to be until he made out a like a bandit getting’ traded to the C’s, he would agree with that sentiment.
December 6th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Celts Fan says:
Ray still is classy, don’t know where you got that he wasn’t.
yes, KG swears a lot, but he does it while walking away. I’m talking about when he’s up in guys faces and shit. Everyone knows he swears CONSTANTLY during the game. I was talking more about the shit when he’s up in guys faces trying to intimidate. He’d get more Ts for that if he was really crossing the line. Again, not classy, but not against the rules. That’s all.
and the Barry Sanders of the world stopped just handing the ball to the ref the second everyone realized that the more you make a spectacle of yourself, the more you get noticed, the more endorsements and shit you get. It’s simple business. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.
I have no problem with what the Celtics (really just KG) do. Now what my football team did all year last year was embarrassing as fuck for the entire fanbase (outside of Southy anyway!) The Pats just shat all over the general rules of good sportsmanship. Karma’s a motherfucker and we got what we deserved…

JBFC says:
The difference between a guy like KG and a guy like LeBron is stark. KG was a loser for more than a decade with Minnesota, and now he’s overcompensating for it with his mongoloid-like antics with the Celtics. LeBron, on the other hand, singlehandedly transformed a franchise and made it a winner. Which is why it will be particularly sweet when the Cavs win the Eastern Conference finals this year.
Of course, you won’t read that sort of opinion on this site, unless you dig deep into the comments. Dime for years has had an institutional bias against LeBron, while glorifying poseurs like KG. It’s sad. I don’t know if it has something to do with LeBron’s race, but it’s sad either way.

@Three Stacks: you want more evidence of Kobe getting locked down… see finals vs. Pistons and finals vs. Celtics. Most importantly, see game 4 of the Celtics series. No way Lebron and Wade would have let Boston make that comeback. Noooo way…. that game alone proves that Kobe-the-ultimate-competitor-best-player-in-the-NBA talk is silly.

one thins about KG, from Mike Barret’s (blazers announcer) blog…..”Garnett ended up, as expected, talking trash late in the game, and going after Bayless with a number of explitives. Garnett always tends to go after a young player, or a guard (see the incident with Toronto’s Jose Calderon a couple of weeks ago), and never says anything to guys like Joel Przybilla. Joel wouldn’t have to even break a sweat in that bout.”
hey KG, it’s easy to talk trash to a guy a foot smaller than you, be a man and pick on somebody your own size

i’m chalking that comment about Dime’s racial bias against Lebron…and Kg’s “mongoloid” like antics to early drinking/ substance abuse. Otherwise i’d be tempted to give that poster the “Most Ignorant Post of the Day” award…

To the People at Dime: this is a perfect example of the anti-KG sentiment that goes around on your blog. There is no need for any specific anti-KG articles; the haters will find a way to infuse their hatred anywhere a forum is made available to them.

@SRB, agreed, but it’s better than Leon’s (which I said was the only thing he’s better than Leon at.) I did only call it “ok,” but I’ll give you “piss-poor but better than Leon’s” and move on if you’d like.

Did anyone watch the lakers game? They gave up their lead because Kobe and the starting unit were on the bench. That’s one of the reasons the Lakers are giving up their leads, plus the fact that Kobe had a real off-night.
Kobe was miffed that he had to come back in and then hit that winning shot. Anyone who calls him overrated is just plain dumb. He’s still the best player in the game period. And that’s coming from a Lebron fan.
Lebron is closing in real fast though – - once he gets that awkward looking jumper down its all over.
