LaMarcus Aldridge on KG: “…he couldn’t punk me”

Found November 30, 2012 on Red's Army: Yardbarker Blogger Network

With LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trailblazers coming into Boston, The Oregonian posted an interesting article about the matchup: Does Garnett’s style of play, and irritation, bring out the best in Aldridge? Can I quickly dispel this and say no? According to article, Aldridge has a list of people who really bring out the aggravation in him. Guys like A’mare Stoudemire, Kevin Love and Kendrick Perkins, all western conference foes, have had their moments versus the Blazer’s forward but one guy stands at the top: Kevin Garnett. “…And I put KG on top, because that’s his persona, to come in and punk you. When I did that to him, it showed him that he couldn’t punk me.” It’s all good that Aldridge feels that he can hold his own against Garnett, who is more bark than bite according to the article. Aldridge dismissively slapped Garnett in the back of the head after he was elbowed in a game back in December of 2008. He may bring “an edge” to his game but the stats prove otherwise. Aldri...

Kevin Garnett is more important than ever for Celtics

Via Celtics Life  |  November 28, 2012
The moment he was acquired, Kevin Garnett became the most important defensive player on the Celtics. Defensive Player of the Year in 2007-08. The lynchpin that held together top 3 defenses in 2007-08, 2008-09, 2010-11 and 2011-12. Vocal leader both on the court and on the bench. This really isn't arguable. What has been arguable is just how much of an impact KG has had on the...

In today’s NBA, a 2-game suspension for this is probably the best...

The Boston Celtics met the Brooklyn Nets earlier tonight at the TD Garden arena, and things got wild.  Kris Humphies "punched" if you will, Kevin Garnett in the face while he was going up for a shot.  Celtics guard Rajon Rondo didn't like what he saw and went after Kris.  The fight went into the crowd, but nothing really seemed to happen after that.  Not nearly...

  Following the dust-up that occurred Wednesday night in the Celtics vs. Nets game, both head coaches and several players had their own comments to add on the situation.

There are a lot of CSNNE reporters I like. Michael Felger in not one of them. He's openly stated he doesn't like the Celtics or the NBA, yet CSNNE gives him a major platform to discuss the NBA. Yesterday he was going off on how KG ran away from Gerald Wallace and would lose a fight to any hockey player. "I would take, almost literally, anyone in the NHL over Kevin Garnett...

Biggest Brawl Since Boston Bus Riots

Via Razzball Basketball  |  November 29, 2012
Kris Humphries (3/4/0 with 2 blocks) fouled Kevin Garnett (16/10/1) somewhat hard (his flopping made it look worse than it was). Rajon Rondo (6/1/3 with 2 steals) took exception to the contact, and since NBA players are mature, emotionally well-adjusted individuals, a brawl ensued, resulting in the ejection of Humpy and Rondo. Word has it a towel boy was punched in the face as the...
