Garnett's intensity and legs are back (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/trainingcamp09/columns/story?columnist=sheridan_chris&page=kevingarnett-091011)
By Chris Sheridan
ESPN.com

BOSTON -- By his own admission, Kevin Garnett's intensity returned Sunday.

And as one first-quarter sequence between Garnett and Yi Jianlian illustrated, that intensity was in high gear.

After toying with the Chinese 7-footer in the first quarter both inside and outside, Garnett demonstrably shoved Yi's arms aside and began bodying him up during a dead ball. The replacement refs quickly separated them, but as soon as they cleared away, Garnett immediately went back at Yi and bodied him up some more, raising his hands high in the air while pushing him from behind with his body -- the sort of flashpoint moment that would have earned Garnett a technical foul from a more seasoned official.

"I don't know him, he don't know me. It wasn't nothing personal," Garnett explained, comparing the incident to an episode he had with Luis Scola of Houston in Boston's first preseason game Wednesday.

After answering, Garnett proceeded to ask aloud whether his response was satisfactory (which it was, and wasn't). But an earlier answer from Garnett provided better insight into what he felt he did better Sunday in his third exhibition game of the preseason, a 100-93 victory over the New Jersey Nets.

"Sprint," Garnett said. "I thought today I got up and down, I tried to put the pressure on their defense. Aggressive, as far as being aggressive, this is probably the most aggressive I've been since I've come back and played. My reaction time was a lot better, a lot faster."

His jumper was smoother, too.

Garnett shot 6-for-8, with all but one of his attempts coming from at least 19 feet away (he even attempted a 3-pointer). Playing just over 21 minutes, Garnett finished with 12 points, six rebounds and two steals, knocking down his first five shots while Yi attempted to defend him.

Garnett's first bucket came courtesy of a lucky high bounce off the back rim on a 21-footer, but his second was a vintage low-post head-fake move that got Yi off his feet and allowed Garnett to duck under for a layup. His third shot was a 22-footer, and the mini-altercation with Yi was followed at the other end by an isolation play with Yi defending Garnett, with Garnett burying a long turnaround jumper over the 7-footer's outstretched arm.

He moved to 5-for-5 when he sank another jumper over Yi midway through the second quarter, his streak of perfection ending soon after when a corner jumper hit the side of the backboard.

"Afternoon games are not my forte, but for the most part, yeah, sprinting, my gait is getting better and better, I'm getting stronger, I can see it, feel it," Garnett said. "My confidence is growing every time I step on the floor, and that includes practice."

With two weeks now elapsed since organized practices began, Garnett has persevered through shin splints and played through a kick in the calf from New York's Jared Jeffries that left him shaking his right leg -- the same one that was operated on over the summer to remove bone spurs from his knee.

In Garnett's three-game body of work, he's shot 55 percent (12-for-22) with 19 rebounds, five steals, two turnovers and zero blocks in a total of 56 minutes.

"I think each game he's gotten more and more comfortable," coach Doc Rivers said. "I don't think he's explosive yet at times, there's a couple plays where lobs would be dunked, instead he's catching it and bringing it down, but that'll come next.

"One game in the next couple I'm going to extend his minutes, then after that we're pretty good with him," Rivers said, adding that Garnett (along with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace will be held out of one of the Celtics' upcoming back-to-back games, either Tuesday night at New Jersey or Wednesday night in Hartford, Conn., against Toronto.

Just a hunch, but there's probably a 7-footer from China -- the same guy who got a taste of Garnett's increased intensity Sunday -- who probably wouldn't mind at all if that sit-out game comes Tuesday instead of Wednesday.

In what context? On the court or do you literally want someone to end KG's existence?

Please elighten me as to why you have such hatred for one Kevin Garnett.

btw - Laker fans devoted an entire website "GetGarnett.com" to acquiring KG before he landed on the Celtics. They were KG's number on fan until he put on the Green and I say I could understand that.

Spurs fans hate KG cuz he's always compared to Duncan and no one ever says "boring" when talking about KG.

Laker fans hate him because of the 2008 finals.

KG is an intense competitor and fun as hell to watch. Dont hate.

Average Spurs fan doesn't hate KG, they laugh at him. Acting all tough, and picking on smaller/foreign players isn't being intense, it's being a poser douche. Give me "boring" 365 days a year. Duncan completely owned Garnett in "franchise" to "franchise" competition. Garnett never won anything until he found a team with some other players to hide behind in the 4th Q.

I dont have the slightest clue what I am talking about. Until I become a member of other teams fan bases', I wont tell anyone their reasons for hating KG either now or in the future and whether or not they will have anything to do with being compared to someone that is nothing like him.
I sound like a fucking idiot and I should take my own advice.

What does me saying I hope someone destroy's KG have to do with the stupid reasons you listed? Are you an expert on the Spurs and the Lakers?

That would be like me saying a Suns fan knows shit about basketball and post on a Spurs forum because the team they follow are full of bunch of damn losers and they will suck for the foreseeable future....oh wait...

I hate KG for the same reasons many do; he is an egotistical douche, that during the middle of a game gets on all fours and barks like a dog at rookies.

No one said KG is a sucky ball player. He is just a massive prick.

KG is usually talking shit/hollering to the guy he's playing against. Ive seen him go hard at Amare too many times to ever accuse of him of being a "bully".

And I would say that KG never won anything until he had some decent teammates. Neither did Duncan.

btw - I think you further prove the hate of KG has more to do with the insecurities you have about your own player more than anything else.

No one said KG is a sucky ball player. He is just a massive prick.

KG does WAAAYYYY to much for charity and his community to ever make me believe he's prick. A prick wouldnt have shown the loyalty to Minnesota the way he did for all those years (even during their darkest times when they lost draft picks for shady deals etc.)

He's also a tremendous team player (gets in every teammates mug before the game and tries to fire them up etc). Im sure everyone would love to have KG as a teammate.

No...I think you hate him because you are jealous of the media love. He's called "The big ticket" while Duncan is called "Mr. Fundamental" and it pisses you off to no end.

Well, well, well....what do we have here? It is like looking in a mirror, only to see a reflection of a different man. Tell me DSF, do you ever ask yourself why you strive to emulate me? I can tell you why. The path to becoming one's own self can be a dangerous one. You never know what you might find when you look inside the places people told you never to go.

I see your pathetic cry for help and it makes me angry at your weakness. You can be so much more if you only try. However, I will come to your aid; under one condition. You must admit that the years of watching your team fail has shaped who you are; who you will become. Let your true self shine through, let the hate and fear mold you into the person you will inevitably morph into. Only then will you realize the simple truth: no matter how hard you try, you will never be me.

I certainly hope Ive never conveyed that I was trying to "emulate" YOU. God knows that last thing I want to do is act like a pre-pubescent kid.

You, on the other hand, have quoted me several times and changed around the words but kept the same pattern. Rather than just write your own stuff, you make a parody of mine. Thus, you are actually trying to emulate ME.

Do you understand how easy this is for me?

That's an old argument, and has been proven wrong.

Players who were All Stars when they played with KG:
Starbury
Gugliotta
Brandon
Sczerbiak

Players who were All Stars when they played with Duncan
Robinson(1997-2001)
Ginobili (2005)
Parker (2006,2007,2009)

If you look at the Spurs All Stars during the Duncan era, one thing pops: Tim won every championship, except 2007, with only one player who had been named an AS at that point in their career while playing with Tim.

1999 DRob
2003 DRob
2005 Manu
2007 Manu, Parker

If you break it down by who was an AS in a championship year with Duncan, his dominance becomes even more apparent

1999 No All Star game
2003 No other AS selections
2005 Manu
2007 Parker

KG had that amount of support and constantly went out in the first.

Theres about 30 holes in this statement. So Ill just say this: Are you seriously going to compare Marbury (one year as a rookie no less), Googs, Szerbiak etc to David Robinson, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili? Forget all stars, did KG ever have the role players etc like Bowen, Horry and Brent Barry?

Youre fooling no one.

da_suns_fan

10-12-2009, 02:17 PM

The idea is that he couldn't even get out of the FIRST ROUND with those players. Much less win a championship. He didn't even come close to sniffing one.

You must not have been around in 2004. And Duncan couldnt get out of the first round last year with Tony Parker who is much better than ANY temmate KG ever had in Minny.

Look, Im not arguing that KG is better. I think Duncan is a better player. But the KG hate is so fucking stupid and petty.

Not as convenient as implying that a year in which a player played in every game in a series should be excused for losing since he was "injured".

Don't go out on a limb. Anyone that isn't biased and actually watches basketball knows that Duncan >>> KG.

Wow. KG is better ball handler, shooter and passer. Duncan is a better interior scorer and defender. And Duncan doesnt hide from contact. I give the edge to Duncan but its definitely close.

look, we're a spurs forum. we are blessed with talent that has very is relatively swagger-less. when we see someone with too much swagger, i'll admit, it repulses us. some more than others.

i'm sure most suns fans on the suns forums hate duncan and his "OMFG i did NOT commit that foul" bug-eyes. look at the all-star weekend when tony and tim were introduced. i've never heard booing from the all-star weekend till then.

No. Theres definitely no Duncan hate at phxsuns.net. TD is generally respected by most fans. Likewise theres no KG hate over there as well. Theres hate for Bowen, Horry and Ginobili, but not for the same reasons you all hate Garnett.

Garnett is a freaking warrior. Put face paint on him and you could see him grabbing a spear and going into tribal attack mode. In a league where so many players are all about themselves (Amare Stoudemire, T-Mac etc), its nice to see the true competitors.

And the "all about me" talk is ridiculous. Like I said, I doubt theres a player in this league that wouldnt want KG as a teammate.

but uh but getting on all fours and taunting a 6 foot euro point guard is normal...Football players do it all the time. :rolleyes

No way, da won't do me that'a way.

I'll admit I was pleased as punch in the backwash of the '08 Finals calamity when KG pulled that stunt. I was lookin' for any solace.

Cuz your comments are dumb and only trolls would push and believe that crap.

Apparently, KG did something REALLY bad. But I cant see the video and i was picturing KG getting knocked down and then barking on all fours. If he was taunting a guy or whatever, that I was obviously wrong. Maybe I shouldnt have guessed, but Im quite familiar with a game last year in which a shot was taken of KG yelling at an opposing player and when you pan out, you see he's actually looking at a teammate. I thought that was what was being posted.

Like I said, I was either completely right or completely wrong. Give me a break! I couldnt see the video!!

Whats wrong with getting on all fours during a game? Football players do that ALL THE TIME. And?

I cant see the videos through work filter but Im guessing this game wear he's in the cream colored suit and he's yelling at one of his teammates but from a certain angle it looks like he's yelling at an opposing player.

Am I right?

No. If it is what you say it is, thats pretty bad. I'll have to look later.

So how can you defend it earlier? If you claim to know KG and how he operates, how could you have never seen this?

I'll retrack my troll statement then cuz you defending KG on all 4's was the reason why i assumed you were a troll.

I dont know the particular incident. I know KG and Ive never seen another incident similar to what you are describing. Maybe it was KG at his "worst".

It's rare in any union for one union member to do that to another union member.

It's like when Kobe did the rape...how many players condemned him? None. How many coaches condemned him? 1/Phil Jackson. That Benedict Arnold bastard!

Like when Magic unretired with HIV. How many union members publicly blanched? 1/Malone. That SOB!!!!!!!!!

Ok........I am just saying that it is a little strange how you can defend an incident, only later to say you have not seen it. You tend to lose a little credibility, and that is more in line with what a troll does.

Have you ever seen the Calderon incident?

that was exaclty what i was thinking, but if DSF claims he didnt see it...we'll just wait for his reaction when he does.

Cant see image :lol

I'll be able to see ALL of this when I get home and I will answer your questions.

I dont think KG is a saint. Im just saying he's an intense competitor and fun to watch. Sometimes he goes overboard, but all have players on our team that we wished played with his fire.

And I completely disagree that he just picks on smaller players. Like I said, Ive seen him stare down Amare MANY times.

Staring down players is totally different then taunting. Come on now.

I said in the original post that I couldnt see the video. Ive seen KG howl and yell off into the crowd etc many times. And when you posted it, all you wrote was "on all fours".

Spurs fans have pissed at Amare for FIVE YEARS now for doing push-ups after he was knocked down in a game. FIVE YEARS. I thought this was a similar incident of a guy just playing to the crowd and opposing fans getting upset.

Obviously, I was wrong if he was taunting someone on the ground.

playing the crowd, howling to the crowd, pumping your teamates up...even haivng a scowl on your face is all good in my book. Taunting other players directly..not so good.

He should not have done that, da. And what pisses everybody off is there was no technical.

Precisely. There is an unwritten rule and KG has crossed that line.

Of course, Amare does the push-up, gets his muscles swelled up, does a pose for the crowd, then bricks the free throw. :lol
