Just because that's his "label" doesn't mean it's right. And yes, he trash talks little guys, but he also trash talks big guys too. Try to find any fan outside of LA that will argue with that. Again, you have no evidence, while I am prepared to send you numerous videos of KG trash talking big guys. You just don't want to see the evidence because you know you're wrong.
Oh please, there was nothing wrong about that ejection.
It's a QUOTE! A quote from the TEAM PHYSICIAN who treated the damn knee. You can't put bias into a QUOTE. Are you even serious?
These sources are both drawing from secondary resources whereas mine have quotes from the team physician who treated the knee. I don't know how you could argue that the team physician who treated the knee was wrong but random news reporters with second-hand information are right.
If you actually LOOKED at the sources, the quote was from the team physician who treated the knee. The physician also said that Pierce was one of the toughest players he had treated in 11 years as an NBA physician.
MCL tears are much worse than most broken bones and sprains. I've played through a sprained thumb and sprained finger in basketball (two separate occasions), a strained calf in football, and run 3.1 miles in a cross country race with a strained achilles, but I probably would not play through a torn MCL, especially when playing a contact sport against huge, strong professional athletes. I'm not interested in bragging like a tool, so I'm not going to pretend that that's such an easy thing to do.
Let's be smart here. He said he was 60% in the pre-season. He also said that was better than he was during the finals. Ah, but this is where something called "logic" comes in. You can actually combine ideas from these two statements to make an additional conclusion! Neat! If he was 60% during the preseason, and worse than that during the previous year's finals, why, we can conclude that he believes he was less that 60% during the finals. Ah, good old logic. Try it sometime!
Guess you should have been more clear.
But then he *****ed during the preseason next year... don't see what the difference is.
Lol yeah "swan" is a good way to describe him.
Artest is a thug if I've ever seen one.
Deceiving a bit. First game shouldn't really count, because the Heat were still raw in terms of chemistry. They came together sometime after their 9-8 start.
Sprain = Tear. The terms can honestly be used interchangeably. A grade 3 sprain is pretty much what people call a full blown tear. So a NFL guy blowing his ACL is a grade 3 ACL sprain. So not necessarily Pierce's "tear" would have been that bad. It was probably of the grade 1 variety.
Fair enough. We've had our arguments now, and you're right that they probably will never end. I'm sorry if I sounded too harsh; I get worked up over my sports teams. You've shown yourself to be a solid debater and I respect that.
I'm not even talking about the fight of years past, but he still commits a lot of unnecessarily hard fouls. You can see one in that game recap I posted earlier, when he gets a flagrant for clotheslining Amare Stoudamire.
Definitely could be a problem.
Yeah, it'll probably have to be West for now, sadly. We'll probably have to acquire a PG somehow. West wouldn't be terrible at PG, but it's certainly not a good situation.
Still, it's scary how thin they are in big men.
Agreed on all this.
