Kevin Garnett Nearly Made Andray Blatche Cry

Leave KG alone, ‘Dray. As the WaPo details, that dude is crazy Just ask Big Baby: “Saunders said the Wizards looked ‘discombobulated’ down the stretch, even failing to be in the right position after timeouts. He also was upset with Blatche for engaging in some fourth-quarter in trash talk with Garnett, which helped turn the game in the Celtics’ favor. ‘We beat ourselves by getting them energized, which got their crowd energized,’ Saunders said. ‘Dray is wolfing the whole time at Kevin Garnett. You can’t do those kinds of things. When you’re coming up and establishing yourself, you don’t take a guy that’s been defensive player of the year and is probably the best power forward and get that guy juiced up to play against you. You got no chance.’ Blatche was noticeably upset and appeared to hold back tears as he explained his encounter with Garnett, which nearly got heated when Garnett approached Blatche and tried to wrestle the ball away from him. Blatche appeared to throw an elbow as Garnett continued to taunt him. Blatche later flung Garnett into a cameraman and sent him to the foul line for two free throws. Garnett smiled as he was helped off the ground. Reserve forward James Singleton said Garnett used his ‘veteran senses’ to needle Blatche and get under his skin.”

    KG is gangsta

  • therighttoremainsalient

    This really only became an issue because Flip, the coach of the TWolves still has man love for the OTHER teams PF, and that should not be…

  • therighttoremainsalient

    …that is to say, the “former” coach of the TWolves…

    blatche is an animal.

    Hey Ronald, what did you think of Matt Barnes constantly getting nose to nose chest to chest with Kobe the other day? What about when he did the ball to the face thing and kobe didn’t flinch? Since you obviously don’t care for KG I bet if he did that to a player you would say he needed to fined and suspended or arrested. hahaha. I personally thought it was a bit much but overall didn’t have a problem with Barnes trying his best to intimidate Kobe. Hold on, what am I doing being kind to a Laker AND a Celtic? What am I a fan of the game and not a complete homer? try it

    lol @ all these KG fanboys. Are yall seriously tellin me yall are cool with his classless & disgraceful on court bullshit? Clapping in Calderon’s face running down the court, gettin in Blatche’s face, the incident with ZaZa, the list goes on & on. How do yall defend this dude? Let AI or Artest pull a stunt like KG did to Andray & watch the hate, but KG can carry on however he wants and still get love? Huh? And dude has been behavin this way for years…he ain’t all of a sudden start actin out when he got to Boston.

  • Ree Roe

    I guess SLAM loves KG too b/c they’re not letting me post about that clown anymore.

  • BostonBaller

    you just did

  • Ree Roe

    Listen, KG is a bum. He’s a classless dude. I see you’re a Celtics fan BostonBaller & KG personifies your team: Classless, old & dirty. The player who used to be worthy of respect has mutated into a league wide canker sore. BTW, if KG did the BS he does now back in the 90s, he woulda got his face smashed in. Go Hawks

  • bud

    for this exact reason, when we play the trash talking OG’s at the local court i always tell the younger ones, “DON’T TALK TO ANY OF THEM!”

  • vtrobot

    KG, fade away. Ha ha. Ha ha hah. Classless. An insult to the game. Ha ha ha ha. PLEASE. He’s just so MEAN now. You think Bird, MJ, Wilt, Jerry West were all sweethearts? STFU! Not everyone is Nash or Grant Hill. KG’s gonna get beat down. Good, so someone step up and do it, or dunk on him like Bynum, or STFU, please. P.S. He’ll never be KG level, but I like Blatche’s game. Straight outta Henniger.

  • BostonBaller

    ree roe, I’m glad you picked up on the connection with my name and the team…If KG had pulled this in the 90′s? He has been doing this since the 90′s…The clapping in Calderon’s face was uncalled for and I DID say that at that time. We are older but dirty and classless? lol. stretch and exhale. I like AI & Artest’s game but to compare them to KG is a bit of a stretch. As far as I know KG hasn’t been kicked out of clubs, had numerous domestic disputes or gone into the stands brawling. Unfortunately trash talking is a bit part of the game and just like the Barnes kobe match up this weekend things get a bit heated. These are grown men and I’m sure 9 out of 10 times they are cool with each other after the game is over. I coach both girls and guys of all ages and non of my players talk trash b/c I never did as a player. they know that what they see on tv stays on tv. The guys are taught to open doors and speak politely and they can NOT wear their pants down around their butts or hoodies and hats on in doors. Classless…lol

    ree roe, “Let AI or Artest pull a stunt like KG did to Andray & watch the hate, but KG can carry on however he wants and still get love?” There seems to be quite a bit of KG hate on here (like always). I bet Jerry Sloan said some “classless” things when he played. Love that dude.

    What’s wrong with Trash Talking. Bring it back. Hey Jordan, Miller, Barkley those were the days of entertainment.
