I agree with all the previous statements about KG. I’ve always disliked Kevin Garnett… he’s such a douche getting into silly conflicts with people (Calderon, Nazr, even being a punk to teammates).
Is there any need to try and chew out poor Nazr, some simple guy playing from the bench trying his best to make an impact on a small team?

First of all David, in examining your game thread matchups I have to say that you have a pretty fair assessment but I do think you missed Wallace setting a record for rebounds because of Ainge’s 1 for 300 behind the arc shooting. Also, Chandler would have missed the last 3 quarters of the game claiming injury caused by the second hand smoke from Red Auerbach’s cigar.

But seriously folks, I’m here all week. Try the veal!

As to what was supposed to be a pro basketball game tonight…

When LB pulled Wallace after the second foul I turned to my wife and said, “Oh golly, (okay it was a bit more profane than that) I hope to God Brown doesn’t plan to sit Wallace until the second half the way he does with Chandler!” No such luck. For the most part I’ve always defended LB’s coaching decisions but this was one of the all-time bonehead moves I’ve seen in what you all know now is many decades of watching games. By sitting Wallace, Brown allowed the Celtics to simply devour Jackson without having to sweat any activity elsewhere on the court.

From where I was sitting – which was close enough to the Cats bench that I could hear much of what Brown was shouting during the first half – the Charlotte Bobcats simply stopped playing offense once Wallace hit the bench. Felton was the only player on the team cutting into the lanes or driving the ball in the general direction of the basket. Brown was quickly up and yelling loudly at both Diaw and Chandler to stop standing around in the halfcourt. That is, until he noticed that Doc Rivers was standing ON the court whenever the action was at the Charlotte bench end. At that point he started yelling at the refs. There were also some ridiculously bad calls made at our end of the court at the start of the second quarter and both Chandler AND Brown were up off the bench yelling at refs. The guy seated beside me shook his head and said, “here come the techncials. This game is toast.”

Congrats to Chandler however, for actually getting into the 2nd quarter of a game – something he rarely manages to pull off.

The Bobcats, with the notable exception of Nazr and Felton, looked flat and uninspired for the entire game and the crowd was cheering for the Celtics louder than they were for the Cats for most of the night.

I feel that THIS game was the fluke, not the past 4. I don’t know what had them off their feed tonight, but this was a different team than the one that’s been taking the court for the past 5 games. The Celtics are one hell of a team when they set their minds to it and when you add in all the garbage calls and sneaky little dirty moves they pulled over the course of the night, they’re even harder to deal with.

On the plus side, Diaw was extending well and any lingering back problems seem to be gone. He should continue to improve from here on out.

We also scored a damned sight better than we did in our hideous opening game. Our defense went in the crapper the second Larry Brown opted to let the Eastern Conference PLayer of the Week collect dust for a quarter and a half.

Ok, let’s start with the fact that only two maybe three of your starters would start for any other NBA team. Also your bench isn’t anywear except on a dleague team for almost every other NBA franchise. Your only still careing any hope of a playoff birth because in the bottom of the east you might get in with a below .500 record. SAD.. really! The haves and have nots are so far appart in the NBA right now because of $$, actually the willingness to spend money and wisely choose talent that fits your team…
Let the record show Tyson Chandler is proof as too why the kittens are have nots!!
Moving on…KEVIN GARNET is a HOF’er first ballet. What people fail to realize is he has been this way since day ONE. He is loud, obnoxious, and a jerkishly entertaining 110% effort hustle and grit every single second of the season. Every team in the NBA would love to have him on their team and as their teAmmate! Even zaza whom almost fights with KG everytime they play would happily take KG on his team. All the amazing skills and talent and soul of KG is what makes him loved or hated. Remember the 80’s and early 90’s players hated eachother on the court and during the season… That’s how it should be! None of the friendly crap that goes on now. After losses player hug and chat with the victors?!?! What the *^~+!?! not in Bean town! Side note( the only reason the cats got a larger than expected dose of starters is because of doc trying to work on chemistry..just so happened at your expense.) Lol
Next! LB is not to be questioned. The end! He is a genious. Allways has been. Players whom buy into his system are rewarded with championships.
Next! Nazi is a solid player. He should start. Chandler is garbage and Nazi can do a bit of everything…not spectacular or even entertaining but a boring solid player who is better than Chandler at nearly every skill except blocks and that’s really debateable due to chandlers foul issues.
Finnally I leave you all with this, I am not a kittens fan! I only read your dopey blog because my C’s bombed on you and I wanted to read your misinformed ignorant hillbilly thought so I could go to bed laughing! Ha!

and he was always like, semi-stoned. Maybe he’s a relative.
