Garnett Doesn't Care

[RipCity32]

The Celtics have been accused of being a cocky and arrogant team, but Kevin Garnett says that the defending-champions couldn't care less.

"Hey, look here, man," Kevin Garnett said Tuesday afternoon. "We're not here to be liked. And when we're out there, a lot of times we're talking to ourselves. We're communicating amongst each other and it has nothing to do with the other team, and the other team likes to jump in or say little (expletive). A lot of that we let go. We don't even comment on a lot of stuff, because half the guys who are talking we don't even know their names.

"A lot of times we let our play do the talking. Doc (Rivers) doesn't really encourage us to talk. He encourages us to communicate amongst each other. But a couple of the times we do have conversations with some guys, now it's coming off like we're non-classy. But it's never told what's being said to us. I mean, class vs. class I can understand. But when you're dealing with idiots who don't know what they're talking about or guys who are just talking out their (tail) or just talking out their mouth, then that's a whole other level."

Man, this dude is so arrogant that it's kind of funny.

Rip...we get the point..you hate KG...

Did you actually read the article or did you just feel the need to say that?

Enough of the <Censored>ing complaining about Garnett trash talking. He can talk <Censored> to whoever he wants, he earned that right. God damn.

I bet if he mocked Kevin Martin it would be a different story..

He is something else. I liked him better when he was on Minnesota. He seemed to be less of a arrogant annoyance when he was on that team, because they didn`t necessarily do much with him on their team. Now that he`s in Boston, he does nothing but talk. Which a lot of players do, trust me I know, we have Sheed on our team. It`s one thing to talk big, and back it up, but it`s another thing to say something negative about guys who try to do the same for their teams, just because they aren`t a big name, or have less wins than you do. He needs to be knocked off his pedestal.

Teams like the Lakers, Hornets, Suns, Spurs, Cavs, Pistons, Jazz, Portland, You dont really hear much, if any talk from them, bragging about anything like KG does. He has been on a good team for 1 year, and they are doing great right now, but the season isn`t over yet, and the East is a lot stronger than last year.

And yea he can talk trash sure. But did he also earn the right to mock Calderon? Punch Bogut? Hard foul on Belinelli? And all the other things he has done?

Honestly, what did you expect him to say...

"Oh jeeze louise, I am so upset that people think that all I do is trash talk and I am a cocky arrogant SOB!!!!"

As Seth Meyers would say, Really? Really?

 

[RipCity32]

A simple "oh well" would of done it. Hell he could of said nothing at all.

But he had to go ahead and say:
"because half the guys who are talking we don't even know their names."
"But when you're dealing with idiots who don't know what they're talking about"

Was that really nessecsary?

Its pretty evident Kg doesnt give a fukk. So if stern or the league doesnt care. KG was ill back in minnesota he had the heart and intensity. Now he's just cocky because he has a ring he will calm down eventually.

They beat us by almost 60 pts the other night, they can mock us all they want.

He still has both, he's just cocky too now.

On winning teams, there's gonna be guys who'll play and not say anything (for the most part it's Ray) and then there are guys who'll play and still talk (KG). It's always like that and will always be like that. There's no need to take offense...at least not from a fan perspective.

I hate KG, but the one who needs to STFU is Perkins

 

[jarrod2323]

why don't these teams just shut them up on the court and none of this would be relevant.

I agree with the two posts above me.

Perkins has no room to talk, yes he has a ring. But seriously Shawn Bradley could have been their starting center and they would have still won a ring.

I agree with rip and them but then i realized stern sees whats going on. If he doesnt feel its outrageous than why should i complain. I feel some things he does are bonehead things, But he's KG

 

[RipCity32]

All I gotta say is I better not hear anyone complaing bout Rasheed anymore lol.

 

[jarrod2323]

once KG accumulates half as many Techs as Sheed, then I'll consider

 

[RipCity32]

Well think of all the actions he has done this year, and add a tech for each one and it's pretty damn close. On the court too. Like the mocking and what not.

You don't see Rasheed mocking people. Calling them idiots.
