Great stuff in the NBA last night. I actually sat down and watched the better part of the Washington-Boston game, and the entire Spurs-Suns game that followed. It was the first time in probably a year that I've sat down to specifically watch an entire NBA game.
So I was sitting there watching the Wizards take it to the Celtics, and Kevin Garnett got fouled while going for a put back. Then I saw this sort of explosion of emotion coming from Garnett, and I laughed. I thought "Dude, it's the second quarter man. Chill out." I mean, I get it that the guy it really intense, but couldn't that be said about 98% of all NBA players?? They are all playing at a pretty intense level if you ask me.
With Garnett, I think it's just an act, and it's getting pathetic. I wish he would do something other than cuss everyone out on the floor to get pumped up. We know you're a tough guy Kevin. Every other player seems to do just fine without hurling obscenities at their peers throughout the entire game. If he did it just once or twice, like a normal person, it wouldn't be so damn annoying. I just want someone to punch him out after he cusses them out on the floor. That'd be pretty funny.
So here is a clip from the game last night. It's that play I was just talking about. All he did was get fouled (not even a hard foul) and he feels the need to yell out about 12 four-letter words at whoever wants to listen. KG, buddy, it's the second quarter man! Yeesh. And he's been doing it all year, and one of these times, someone's going to show him how much they "appreciate" being barked at all freaking game long. Or at least I hope so.
