[MrIhavearandomname]

comm. david stern = gay rules

[EdgarMrMan]

enough said about garnett

[CJThaSavage]

The NBA is no longer a mans game. Damn just let men play how they wanna.

[meowdragon]

If KG is suspended on this play, Bogut should be too

[allstarhs]

Garnett = Washed up star, used to be great but now just acts tough

[L3V0N]

why does Garnett always pick on white guys??

[1001001003]

LONG LIVE HITLER!!!!

[1001001003]

FUCK ALL OF YOU!!!!

[RobinHighFlyer]

Let's face it. ALL refs today are horrible. From my team's league to the NBA.

[au33987]

I didn't see an elbow thrown. just two players going up for the ball.

[amazing101]

stfu he hit that nigga

man sombody needs to hit that nigga hard in the face

[manly833]

for all the shit kg does they suspend him for this? he shuld be suspended alot more

[CANONinDEVIN]

When his arm is coming around he goes out of his way t hit Bogut. Also, look at his guilty look after the punch.

[drexelrep]

first of all if they punished kg, then they should have punished bogut too

but ive gotta say this. kg overreacted BIG TIME holding his mouth like that. (although bogut did a little too, but kg did it more). it was kinda a bitch move...

im not a kg hater, im just sayin...

[jespacey]

Wow what courage KG! when 5 years ago you couldn't answer anthony peeler's punch?

[FozzyLPTDG2]

Good call it was a Accident for Bogut to Hit KG and KG just has a short temper

[elnala93]

KG hit him on the face first tryin to get the ball... PUSSY SHOT

[ADVERTlSEMENT]

Note that he taunted Jose Calderon a few days back and didn't get called for a technical.

[jespacey]

Zombie garnett pickin' on white guys. Calderon wouldn't back down though..

[kim34s]

man bogut is just a waste of a draft pick, CELTICS 2010

[pimpsoldier0]

KG should just be suspended for being a bitch and nothing else

[UJustGotDunkedOn]

Bogut should at least have been ejected too

[NoLimitzSB]

Man where is the NBA going???Stupid Stern, he changed the rules so much, cant scream after dunks, cant hang on the rim too much, cant play too physical, cant give little hits to other players....Wtf is that!!!!

[whales]

ridiculous

[902101212]

wow bogut clearly kicked what thats not a suspension???

[YungKhmerBoy206]

if someone fucking hits you in the face why should you get suspended?

[dwadedude3]

bogut slapped Garnett twice, Bogut should have been suspended too!!!

[joncuesta95]

i think he got ejected too

[SuperAreLyn]

i noticed NBA players like to wave their arms around EVERYWHERE....ALL THE TIME.

[satibablaze]

celts are not getting past the cavs this year.

[germhed]

yes they are, cavs suck

[zechosmells]

yet theyre undefeated at home...fuck boston

[eazy2fresh]

Fuck you niggga

[jay2ster]

they aren't undefeated at home anymore...

[zechosmells]

yea, they lost to the same team that also beat the celtics twice this season. lakers are gonna win championships and celtics may not even make it to the finals...we will see

[Ice3power]

Bostons not going to the finals? Wow dude are you like 10?

[zechosmells]

No, I'm 18. Reread my post, I said they may not make the finals. Cavs are playing great basketball right now and I think they have a better ch ance of reaching the Finals, IMO. I'm not counting out the Celtics yet but they're not a definite guarantee to make it.

[buramabull]

Are you fucking stupid? The Celtics fucking suck as much as their three All-Stars, Celtics to the finals? What you have the brown power of a retarded 10 year old?

[Ice3power]

Uh sure i have brown power...Celtics suck? Haha ok, anything can happen, they might not go to the finals. But they suck? You've just proved that you are fucking stupid

[ss4vegeta92]

they do suck they get helped out by refs thats y they win....

[Beargrass83]

@ss4vegeta92

ya right 08 celtics dominated

Oh the WEFS the WEFS my team got crushed the WEFS WAH

[nbnf21]

haha i love how dirty KG is this is basketbal baby getting in ur oponents head

[dohboy200]

kg is taking a lot of cheap shots these days...unnecessary, but right out of the Celtics rule-book. Anyone that watched the Celtics vs Lakers in the 80's - guys like McHale etc., would know exactly what i mean. i hate the celtics but they get the job done.

[joe619]

how the hell does bogut get ejected from this???

[kmfootbal781]

because not only is it against the rules of basketball to strick a person in the face,

its also a federal offense.

[hmmmmmokay]

What haha strike? And Kg hit him man Boget didnt rly do anything

[rmsederberg]

bogut kicked him and slapped him in the mouth

[nyran125]

1st off , that shouldnt of been a technical foul for Bogut regardless if you like him or not. Secondly That was ahrdly a punch worth suspending KG for. Thirdly on the night it should of just been a jump off not a foul even a foul was too harsh. The dumb ass's here are the NBA rule book writers. WTF.

[kmfootbal781]

dude,

he broke his fucking tooth,

thats why kg got mad.

Teeth are pretty hard,

therefore you have to hit pretty hard to break them...

[VirtuaLord27]

I can't stand NBA refs. This is a pathetic call. KG didn't deserve a suspension. And kingdon, your full of shit.

[garnetttribute]

It was the NBA league office that suspended KG. The refs didn't call anything other than a basic double-tech.

[VirtuaLord27]

Well that doesn't change my opinion on anything I said, but thanks for correcting me.

[naproducshizzle]

You wouldn't see KG taunting and being disrespectful to the likes of ben wallace, rasheed wallace, shaq, dwight howard. KG is becoming immature and its not a good thing if he's the leader of his team

[San4An]

bogut is a shithole!!! he did this kinda stuff to BOSH TO!!! fuckhead! BOSH FAN!

[lagosdre]

"Normal for KG to response"...

This isnt boxing...Bogut didnt hit him intentional(that was due to KG `S foul)BUT KG did get him intentional(thats why he was suspended)they took BOGUT out of the game and Boston won...

[EugeneOnBlood]

Just a right call for the ref.

They both does an extra motions!

Look at bogut's knee!

Normal for KG to response!

[edenjhan]

Ilovethisgame... if you dont want being hit... hey... play CHESS... huhu

[3guysproductions]

That's a no call, let it go, give 'em a warning.

[kingdon14]

garnett is a little fuckin baby..the refs are protectin his ass..since he got that ring he's been talkin alotta shit..i love his game..don't get me wrong he's a fantastic player..but he needs to stop runnin his mouth so much..especially what he did to calderon was uncalled for..if calderon did that to him that would be an automatic tech..

[catiponpower]

He shouldn't have gotten suspended for this, but he should have for his antics against Calderon, so it all evens out.

KG is getting big-headed. Yeah you won the championship last year, but you did nothing before. The reason for the suspension could be to hold him in check because it seems like he thinks he can get away with anything. I'm starting to lose all my respect for KG.

[Magikano]

yeah right, if kg wasnt with the timberwolves, the they would have been as bad as the Oklahoma city thunder

[200530945]

Bogut's one hell of an actor, you know... His knee hits KG sending KG to give him a "responce".... KG was hurt and now he's the one being suspended... fuck the NBA committee.. people should just watch FIFA... yeah!!!

[earic23]

who gives a shit. every sport should make hitting legal, i know id sure as shit watch ballet ice skating if every now and then some bitch got blasted

[FFMcFuch]

Bogut's a fucking dirty pussy. He was flailling his arms in KG's face to begin with. G shoulda knocked him out!

[abcdefghij73]

eeeee heeeeeeeee!

[troytags]

oh comeon that was just a reaction but unfortunately when referees see someone get hit with a closed fist, they'd usually call a suspension but still kg a great player

[jtass999]

total bullshit.Bogut was hgolding his arm and then his leg hit kg aswell and all kg tried to do was get loose.

[348916840]

to motherfucka kg haters, look at bogout's left hand first, he hit kg twice, fuck that idol, how about s.O'eal, he pushed everybody down and get no suspended, what a joke

[hanselkksc]

Nevermind, at least Scal had the chance to throw his sick 3-pointer at the end against NY, destroying the hopes of the C's-haters who thought we lose without KG :)

Boston Celtics 2009 World Champion NBA "♣ 18"

[phillgarr]

if you swing with a closed fist NO MATTER WHAT you are gonna get suspended. Even if its in retailation. C'mon even an idiot knows that... or so I thought.

[bigpapi0005]

where do you see a "closed" fist? He just smacked his face with an OPEN hand.

[MichiSweet]

he gets suspended for this?? wow that's stupid.... out of all the things he has done?? wow that didn't happened last year....

[7fire7ice7]

lol out of all the things kg does he gets suspened for this...

[hsiehrobin]

Garnett is a GREAT player, but his attitude this year just sucks, but that doesnt take away from the fact that hes gonna be in the hall of fames

i think this call was too harsh from the NBA, but it was a right one, but it probably did get out of hand by the suspension

i would say maybe just fine him money, just as they did shaq

[shmadamh]

i agree

[b1iidc65]

much ado about nothing? - they should have both got fouls and sent to bed without supper. Maybe 50 lashes with a whip....

I didn't see the game live and I can't even tell from this clip what either one did that was so bad. I'm not sure if the kick was bad (KG held face) and Bogut certainly didn't look hurt...

PLAY ON

[bungerman1000]

ok lets count how many times bogut hit garnett, pushed off with his off hand when he first put up the shot, got the rebound put it back up during the foul then came back down and smacked garnett on the shoulder and damn near kicked him too.

[conartist128]

ill be at the timberwolves game but i aint cheering for them...kg all the way

[Beja87]

obviously quick strike, don't deny it

forget KG, forget Boston, forget Boston fans

[bungerman1000]

funny though, even if you forget all that, last years championship banner is still hanging in the rafters, Thanks for playing.

[ChristianSteger]

Garnett didnt hit him they can do it without him anyway it's only one day against the sucky knicks

[edgao5555]

rewatch it from another angle in another video, garnett did hit him...

[mitchsmith91]

nah, because when he swung, bogut's head snapped back the other way in surprise like immediately because he heard the whistle and knew the ref called it on him. he was staring down the ref. if he really hit him, his head would go the other way (especially if it was worth a suspension). but it is hard to tell, i could be wrong, but it wouldn't be worth a suspension if his head didn't even move.

[tiboh133]

man what a retarded ref why couldn't he just give a foul shot instead of a suspension

[garnetttribute]

Actually, the refs had it right. The refs called a double technical, and KG stayed in the game.

It was the league office that later reviewed the tape and decided to hit KG with a suspension.

[humdinger77]

The league office reviewed it and saw him take a jab at Bogut. Thanks for proving our point. Get off of KG's nuts and open your eyes. I can understand liking a player, but admit when someone does something as plain as day. Garnett is a good player, but he is turning into a real jerk-off along with Pierce.

[garnetttribute]

They saw him flail an arm at Bogut, yes -- because Bogut's follow-through on that shot was excessive. It seemed like a natural defensive reflex on KG's part. But no one threw an actual punch.

It's true that the league is mindful of any swings above the shoulders, but whether or not the KG-Bogut incident warrants a suspension is debatable. I'm not saying you're wrong. But I'm not saying you're right either.

And what's this got to do with Pierce. Stay on topic and leave the hate out of it.

[humdinger77]

So full of it. It was not a natural reaction. He threw a jab. No, he didn't take a flayling punch, but he did take a jab. He was pissed, and he reacted how he wanted to. He was pissed because he couldn't get his hands on the ball.

As far as pierce goes, I said that because it's disappointing to see these guys turn into idiots like this. Last year they were humble, this year they are genuine jerk-offs. I don't mind the celtics, so there is no "hate".

[garnetttribute]

I agree that frustration had a lot to do with it. KG was pissed -- not because he couldn't get his hands on the ball, but because of Bogut's excessive follow-through. The whistle had already blown, the ball was already loose, yet Bogut brought his arms down to exaggerate the play, hitting KG's face in the process.

Yes, KG then reacted. I've seen all the replays and angles, and it wasn't a jab. It was an open-palm swipe/push, and a blind one at that because KG's head was jerked backwards.

[MadeFromQueensRapper]

@garnetttribute There is no such thing as a natural reaction when you swing your fist.Your body doesen't do it without YOU wanting to.Your brain in the one that creates the function in Kevin Garnett's brain he said swing so that's why he did.Don't go trying to say it was an accident only little kids make accidents.

[BoukenBlack]

This was obviously innocent.

[JasonDaPsycho]

watch the one with Shaq on Rodney Stuckey

that looked even more innocent than this one

[Mnight069]

Maybe I need glasses, but I just didn't see anything worthy of a suspension.

[humdinger77]

He took a shot at boguts face. It may have been subtle, but none the less. He hit him and he shouldn't have. Bogut was off balance and his leg hit KG. KG didn't like it, and he took a quick jab to the face of Bogut. I think the suspension was merited. KG needs to come back down to earth.

[Marcus3415]

we'll still win =D. CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3DJH5]

yeah lakers have nothing to do with this video so wait for something relevent to lakers to pop up before you put the tough little "go lakers" at the end of your bitching about the champs. GO CELTICS 08 CHAMPS? NOT LAKERS.

[immortalthug818]

KG is changing into a cocky player...he wasnt like that before..

[emeraldgsl]

Ever since they won the title he hasn't been the same. Now he probably thinks him and p. pierce are the #1 and #2 players in the world. The funny thing is he won't stand up and fight when someone challenges him. He's soft and is very lucky her got dealt to Boston.

[Hrvoje1313]

"He probably thinks him and p. pierce are the #1 and #2 players in the world"

Yeah, his work-ethic sucks

[NorthernEmperor]

I completely agree with you. Everyone praises Garnett and Pierce for making this team great again, especially Garnett himself. Many commentators act like he plays with such passion, but he did not seem very explosive to me last season. Remember round 1of the playoffs when the Celtics when the Celtics were about to get knocked off by the Hawks? KG did not seem very "intense" or "passionate" back then. He is a great player, but he is, as you said, "soft".

[bboisvert]

Suspended for a game? For THAT?!? A double-technical was appropriate. The suspension doesn't even make any sense.

[feldo24]

bullshittt horrible call by the ref..KG is cocky because he can be, i would be too if i was one of the best players in the game. everybody freaked out when he was taunting some no name point guard two or three weeks ago, he is just bringing intensity to the game

[bryansolano86]

IT IS VERY CLEAR. GANETT MIGHT HAD THOUGHT THAT ANDREW MAY HAVE KICKED HIM A LITTLE UNDER HIS(KEVIN)LEFT ARM WHEN HE(ANDREW) WAS COMING BACK DOWN FROM THE REBOUND. AND YOU CAN TOTALLY TELL THAT GANRETT'S ARMS WERENT IN ANY MOVING MOTION TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT... YOU CAN TELL THAT HE WAS STRINING HIM(ANDREW)You can see everything in the first 5 seconds. I agree that Celtics' egos are up in the clouds right now for winning one title after many years of dissapointment. GO LAKERS!!!

[Dpimpjr321]

dissapointment were like 9-2 against you in the championship titles

[bryansolano86]

you need to brush up on your basketball IQ. If your gonna have a comeback get the numbers right....The Celtics currently lead in total championships with 17 to the Lakers' 14; together, the two teams' 31 championships account for half of the 62 championships in NBA history.

[Dpimpjr321]

you need to brush up on your Celtics Lakers bud. out of all the times we met with eachother in the finals we beat you 9 out of 11 times

[bugmanjarb]

Just another shitty call by the refs...Refs really determine outcomes of some close games... Let em play!!!No blood no foul..NBA sucks due to fouls that are not called... and no fouls that are called..That's pretty consistant throughout the leauge.. Frustrating game to watch due to this factor. I don't get how they miss what they do?? ..

[fishnchips08]

The first one was accidental!

I have much respect for kg, but i noticed his teamates are changing him into some cocky kind of player

[humdinger77]

KG is a big mouth. He used to be a level headed guy. This season he has been way too cocky and bogut didn't hit him in the face on purpose. You can tell it was an accident. Garnett deserves a 1 game suspension.

[tinof23]

garnett is cocky because he hangs out with pierce alot. paul pierce is the cockiest player in the NBA and it must be wearing off on garnett. fuck the celtics!

[humdinger77]

Pierce is one of the cockier players in the NBA, but only since last year when they finally became a force again. I can't stand pierce anymore. The Celtics have some classy guys on their team like Allen, Poe, even Rondo. Pierce and KG are jackasses anymore though. 1 title and they can't contain their ego's.

[krnsmeagol]

couldn't agree more

[mikeluja]

What'd he get suspended for? They were both going for the ball and they both got hit, it's not like KG did the wind up and smacked the guy.

[humdinger77]

Watch the video again Mikeluja. He did, give him a left across the face.

[mikeluja]

I agree that he did hit him, but KG got hit too. And don't think that I'm just some Boston nut that's upset about this I'm a Chicago fan, I just don't think that that hit called for a suspension. That's all.

[WeeedMaaan]

This is some bullshit, did he get suspended for this, man that aint right,it was Bougat that punched him first..Garnett andthe Celtics is the best,but no hate to Bougat and Milwaukee, i luuuve Michael redd

[wileyc0y0te]

I used to like Garnett. Now it seems he cant go a game without childishly taunting someone or trying to pick a fight. Sad.

[IxMrquikIx]

lol

[Bull1the1Great]

he should have punch a guy in the face and then at least he would know why . KG rocks
