Kevin Garnett is Pretty Silly, Effective

But hey, as long as it helps your team continue a game-winning comeback, whatever works. As pointed out by Ethan, Kevin Garnett, while being an all-world defender last night, decided he’d share some of his emotion with Raptors guard, Jose Calderon; and so, Garnett began guarding Calderon while he was bringing the ball up the court. During the defensive assignment, KG essentially hounded Calderon with good man-to-man defense, verbal abuse and a finger wave or two.
While the Raptors fans were pretty pissed by Garnett’s behavior, the consensus is, it’s this type of intensity that makes KG so great.
Here’s the video:
Did I say something about Raptor fans not liking Garnett’s display? Well, they didn’t. Some were mad at losing to the defending United State Champs, which was ever so eloquently relayed with this two-word utterance: “f*ck everything.” I would think it’s a little early to be throwing in the towel like that, but like they say, basketball is life.
Other reactions to the Garnett/Calderon jawfest included this little gem:
I almost forgot … f*ck KG. He was an idiot, acting like a monkey!
Apparently, change is needed in Toronto, too.

Thanks for the reference guys and good game last night. Tough loss for us Raptor fans, but there’s a reason why the Celtics are champs.
Best of luck the rest of the way.

Thanks for the kind words, even though I’m not a C’s fan. I hope I didn’t come across that way… But yes, being up like that only to lose can be a heartbreaker, but you guys have three more regular season chances to get even (I think you play them four times this season).
Good luck with the Raptors. As it stands today, they are easily the second or third best team in the East. I hope it continues for you guys.

Maybe on paper we seem like the 2nd or 3rd best in the East, but we’ve yet to prove that on the court. The talent’s there, now we gotta see what Sam can do with it all.

Therein lies the beauty of a long season.
Hell, maybe the Knicks are the second best team in the East.
Philly looks like the Brand trade hasn’t put them over the top yet , Detroit won’t be the same team and Orlando is pretty much the exact same team from last year.
That leaves Cleveland. I’ll take my chances with Bosh and O’Neal against LeBron and his lottery team. While the Raps may not be able to stop James — big shock there since no one can — how will Cleveland do against a Bosh/O’Neal tandem?
Of course, all it takes is an injury for any of these teams and the landscape changes drastically.
