    That was obvious that Bill Walker flopped on that little "love-tap" by Tmac, according to Bill Worrell. He just flat wanted confrontation. Hell, he apparently picked a fight with Kevin Garnett during practice!!

    Well, I heard that Walker is always rude, even rude to his boss KG. I have never seen a rookie looks like that.

    I noticed that too. The shoulder is obviously 100%. Now if Tmac will knee a dude we can be sure both surgeries have healed.

    honestly i know there are homer announcers and then there is heihnson.

    that guy is just plain terrible. when they showed the replays he was saying that walker was trying to make a cut and tmac shoved him. they are showing walker making the first push and he says nothing.

    he kept crying about the officials all night long...granted i thought artest would have been called for that foul on pierce but most of the stuff he was crying about was baseless.


    walker is a hot head i would not be surprised if he get ejected/suspended sometime during the season if he actually manages to get playing time

    i didn't see any of this live but it seems hard to be more thuggish than these clips. hopefully he gets set straight at some point.

    also, as much as tmac's poor jumper seems to keep him from willing himself to take over games, pissing him off or presenting a challenge (like playing lebron/kobe/wade) usually seems to get him going against people.

    Thanks for upping the video, i had to miss the first three quarters.



    That Walker punk has issues. He got into a fight with his own teammate? Kevin Garnett of all people? He's not going to have a long career.

    Yeah I love how he straight owned him with the shoulder he was previously injured on...

    That's the kind of T-Mac mentality I love to see, reminds me of his Orlando days when he wouldn't back down against anyone.

    And when he almost got in a fight with one of the foreign players in FIBA (I believe)...when he stole the ball and then held it out before he dunked it

    We should probably thank Pierce for spinning around and holding T-Mac back. If he didn't, House is probably in the 3rd row and T-Mac gets suspended for several games. Pierce is a punk, too, by the way.

    The fact that Walker got into it with KG is all you need to know about this clown. I actually hope the Celtics keep him so he knocks out a few his own players, Zambrano-style.

    I didn't verify if he has any teeth. Maybe, KG did do that.

    i wonder what happened between eddie house and tmac

    to those asking about pierce, he didn't do anything really. when he did get that technical, he sorta used his left arm to drag/push/throw artest down, but it was more out of frustration that artest was all over him going for the ball..and then artest knew pierce was pushing him so he did a major flop, haha and drew a TECHNICAL foul, which is sorta interesting....i guess the new rules don't say that you can't flop for technical fouls..

    on another play, artest fell on top of pierce, and pierce seemed like he was about to initiate something with artest, but artest was holding back and raised his arms up (while lying on the floor), and then they shook hands..

    but imo pierce was trying to keep things peaceable and just play the game.

    i think it's funny when tmac had his escalated conflict/altercation with walker and house...there was artest and dorsey on the bench basically on standby. can't leave the bench but definitely observing.

    while i don't disagree with what tmac did, because what walker was doing was dirty and ...punktype stuff, i don't think tmac should have continued to engage in the conflict/altercation. i mean, he shouldn't be going after guys as if he's going to fight them...it's a professional basketball game. i think trashtalking's fine, but the act as if we're gonna fight doesn't need to happen. i guess i'm thinking that they should be respectful, and i guess respect is usually the norm, but walker and house disrespected tmac, and he responded in reciprocation.

    we need battier, citizen player, back on the court. :p

    Not surprised by what Billy Walker did, def a feisty type player who could end getting into a lot of trouble this yr. I watched him alot at K.State and he absolutely would get steamed at the smallest amount of contact from a defender. I could see him getting suspended this yr at some point, ditto for the Celtics other draft pick JR GIddens, a straight thug who got kicked of a Kansas team and then was involved in a huge college bball brawl. I don't like how Garnett tries to get people to retaliate. Eddie House has always been a punk !!

    I love the fact that Tmac and Yao are showing some attitude, not backing off and partially retaliating.

    Ron, seems to have influenced the too in a good way at that because we need that swagger to raise our level of play.

    Thanks Ron!

    Go rockets! :D

    When you wanna pick a fight, you pick a fight. He is pathetic in everywhere to do something like that. The obvious shove on McGrady, then flew off when he got hit by someone's injured shoulder? Screw that, ran into someone's injured shoulder? Unless McGrady has some sort of Rock tape on, there was no way he could fly off like this.

    This incident is identical to this:
