Garnett Suspended For Knicks' Game

Nov 17, 2008 6:04 PM EST
Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics has been suspended one game without pay for striking Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut in the face. In addition, Bogut’s Foul that was committed on Garnett has been upgraded to a Flagrant Foul Penalty One and he has been fined, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 3:58 remaining in the fourth period of the Celtics 102-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, November 15, at the Bradley Center.

Garnett will serve his suspension tomorrow when the Celtics host the New York Knicks at TD Banknorth Garden.

[Thunder Dan]

now the league is going to start suspending players for being intense. This is a shame

He bleeds Gatorade and you are going to suspend him for hitting someone in the face? jeez what is next?

KG sucks like FIBA. He's basically retarded.

[Thunder Dan]

I say that if you sweat Gatorade you can hit whoever you want to in the face

LMAO finally this clown gets some of what he deserves... He had it coming.

[sook]

the fact he got away with the calderon thing didn't stop this assclown one bit.

Fuck KG, i hate him

[td4mvp21]

I still don't understand why that was never addressed.

Anyway, maybe this will turn out to help the Celtics in the 4th quarter. Pierce won't be tempted to pass the ball to KG's choking ass.

Exactly.

[Spur-Addict]

It's about time, he's out of control sometimes. It's cool showing emotion, but he turns into a jackass too much.

[m33p0]

why do i get the feeling that the NBA just threw a small bone at us just to shut us up about mr douchebag getting free passes?

[Obstructed_View]

I think the NBA suspended him so that they could sweep the fact that Bogut shouldn't have been ejected under the rug.

+1

that is exactly what it is, Garnett didn't even get ejected from the game, and now he's suspended. Lets hope the Cs are playing a good team

[m33p0]

did anyone see that foul by Bogut? does it really warrant a flagrant?


i hope the celtics meet the hawks again in the playoffs. i don't think those punks will get pass atlanta this time around.

:lol

hope so

[sribb43]

Fuck one game....KG should be banned from the league

[sribb43]

1st Dirk, then Zaza and now Bogut...how many International players is KG gonna get punked by

He's been owned by more than just those three guys. Anthony Peeler a few years back in the Kings-Wolves series comes to mind.

[Armando]

I have a feeling this means Shaq will get suspended as well. Which is likely to happen and its fine. But I think Garnett getting suspended is overkill. A fine would have suffice. I still don't understand how Droopy eyes from Houston did not get a suspension. But lucky for the Celtics they got the Knicks and D'Antoni at the Garden.

Kind of like Wade punking the Mavs in the 2006 Finals.

No, more like Dirk owning the Suns in Game 5 of the '06 WCF

[Armando]

True but the Suns were lucky to get to the 06 WCF with no Amare and going 7 games with both the Clippers and Lakers. They were by no means the favorites to win the West that year. I seem to recall the Mavs were the prohibitive favorites to win the Finals.

[samikeyp]

The NBA better watch out, KG will bring out his uzi's and M-16's!

[Indazone]

Garnetts not smart. He should do it like Shaq. Take the ball and shove it in a guys face...never touched him so no foul.

[BUMP]

Kind of like Wade punking the Mavs in the 2006 Finals.

:nope

[dirk4mvp]

What a badass post.

[hater]

one of many to come hopefully.

I seriously think KG would get his ass kicked by over 75% of players in the league. he is like a poodle

[hater]

Garnett is the only person I know who looks like a pussy even when hitting somebody

I'm shocked that they did anything.

It looks like some sort of weird voodoo curse where he's slapping Bogut but he's the one feeling the effects.

I think it's a mental thing with KG. Every time he sees a white big man he has Bonner flashbacks and snaps.

i wonder what sort of suspension you would get today for throwing that punch?

:lmao

:lmao owned. I love how he got in a Tekken fight stance after he got hit and waited for others to come "break it up"

[Sportcamper]

Garnett is an NBA All-Star…The best PF in the history of the NBA…Big deal if he pushes off of some goon, that is just in the game to draw fouls…:ihit

[sribb43]

There was a Milt Palacio sighting in that video:lol

[Gino]

Stupid ruling. Just Stern being Stern.

[Lp26]

Pretty much; even though the suspension was deserved on it's own IMO.

this was posted by one site that is no longer available but it's still funny

After receiving an elbow to the midsection by ex-Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Peeler, Garnett retaliated by throwing his shoulder and elbow into Peeler’s chest.

Peeler took exception.

Without hesitating, Peeler sent a forearm shiver to Garnett’s jaw, making a Mike Tyson haymaker look like a jab. Poor Garnett was stunned. He looked to the crowd waiting for Ashton Kutcher (MTV’s “Punk’d” host) to jump out and break the news to him that he had been punk’d. It never happened.


I remember when this happened, Garnett threw that shoulder and Peeler hit him with the elbow, Garnett looked like the shocked Big Bully who just got stood up to with that "what do i do now" look on his face :lol

Right, just assault with a quasi-deadly weapon..

[Obstructed_View]

Pretty much; even though the suspension was deserved on it's own IMO.

If that were the only reason then they wouldn't have done it. There's ample evidence that he can do what what he wants and get away with it.

[The Franchise]

Let's see how much he gets away with before he earns another.

Yeah, I highly doubt this one thing against Milwaukee suddenly opened the league's eyes to what a dumbass KG has been his entire career.
