More of Kevin Garnett's Dirty Antics

Remember the days in the WWE "Attitude" era where evil boss Vince McMahon got the reserved "ass-hole" chant from the fans... We'll the Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett is doing is best to receive those infamous chants (well deserved may I add), but instead, he gets the predictable, but I guess never too old "Garnett sucks" chant. Courteously from Basketbawful, here are just a couple of KG's asshole-like tactics:

(1) After getting a facial from Travis Outlaw, KG tries to give Outlaw a facial with his elbow. Watch closely on the replay at the 1:02 mark



(2) Two elbow attempts at LaMarcus Aldridge and then to have the audacity to put your filthy hands up and then do the hands out and say, "What did I do wrong" look after the refs copped out and gave a double technical (in which both the T's should have gone to KG)...

Nate's Greatest Offensive Scheme: 6 on 5!!

You may be laughing now about that call/play/outcome at the end of the first half, but if you look at it, it played a vital role for the entire game.

Now, you all know that its suppose to be 5 on 5. Once the refs realized (after Kevin Garnett pointed that out) that the Blazers had 6 players on the court after an Outlaw dunk, the refs huddled together and decided to give the Blazers a technical foul BUT they also counted the bucket. Shouldn't they have waived off the bucket and then gave Boston the technical free throw??

That's a 3-point swing and with 22 seconds left in the game, Paul Pierce connected on a driving runner and was fouled and hit the FT to make the score 87-86 Portland. Subtract two from Portland and Boston has the one point lead and who knows what happens at the end (probably Nate would have found some way to lose)...

All in all, I really can't complain. The Blazers won and Nate really did one hell of a job tonight. I especially like the twin tower lineup of Oden and Przybilla together (although I would of liked to see more of that in the 4th)...

KG vs. Jose Calderon

Another reason to hate (the most underrated asshole in the NBA) Kevin Garnett and love (the most underrated PG today) JOSE CALDERON!! I'll tell you what, if this was Rasheed Wallace taunting, not only would he have been ejected in a nanosecond, but probably fined and suspended as well...
