Despite Blowout, Richardson Still Not Impressed By Celtics

Quentin Richardson was not backing down from his remarks that he was not in "awe" of the Celtics' Big Three, one day after Boston beat the Knicks by 45 points.

"I don't really care if a big deal was made," Richardson said Friday. "I still believe the same thing that I believed before the game."

Kevin Garnett revealed after Thursday's game that Celtics coach Doc Rivers posted Richardson's comments in the team's locker room. Garnett said he and his teammates were motivated by Richardson's quotes.

"I'm a competitive athlete," Richardson added. "I'm not about to be afraid of anyone because they have three great players. Because they have Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, are we supposed to crawl into a corner and say we're afraid to play them? Go ask the other 29 teams and you show me a player that says he's afraid to go play them. I've never heard of that."

Haha what a dummie...

Lmao, yes, he didn't think he would lose by 40+ points though lmao. Well he tried to be a hard-ass so he had to stick with what he said I guess.

Gotta agree with him there though. They aren't fans, everyone else are competitor's. If they're "scared" to play with the C's, get outta the NBA.

It's one thing to be scared of, it's another to be impressed by...

No duh, they're two completely different things. If he's not impressed he's not, and frankly, I'm not too impressed either. The Knicks are a messed up team that played the next day just to prove something.

The C's don't really have anything tough on their schedule until we're all the way down in January and February. I'm still waiting on them.

I dont know what happened, we are a much better team then we showed, the lack of ball movement and defensive intensity is what caused us the game (not to mention we shot under 30%)

but we let their role players beat us, which pisses me off. The next night we beat the Bucks when we were down 17, and last night we played a close game w/ the suns, we are a good team, its just lack of heart.
