Word.. I used to like KG. Till I realized what a fraud he was. Picks on smaller players (wagging finger at Calderon), and looks away when Sheed pushes him. I put my money on Sheed. Maxiell looks like he'd be a mad dog. I can easily see him tackling and laying a beat down on Perkins.
I don't see the big deal. Perkins gave a flagrant foul and walked. He wasn't looking to fight because he knows that is detrimental to the team and his pocket book. The guy was smart enough to send a message to the Maxiel and the Pistons and then get out of the situation before it escalated into a brawl. That is exactly what you want from an enforcer type player. Give the foul, send a message and don't let it go further. I'm no Celtic fan and certainly not a Perkins fan but I would love to see one of the Rockets' bigs do something like that every now and again when teams try to get too physical.
The announcer was an idiot - saying Maxiel was "swinging at everybody...Perkins, Rondo, etc". He might have nudged Rondo, but he certainly didn't do much else than shove Perkins back. The refs got it right.
and what if maxiel was seriously injured? the message is worth it? there's playing tough defense, there's taking hard fouls..but throwing someone to the ground by grabbing their neck and then walking away to "avoid a situation"? pssh. get real.
kendrick perkins is a douche. i've always disliked the guy, even before this video. garnett and pierce are talkative and cocky but at least they have talent to back it up. perkins on the other hand is just a flat out scrub.
I hate KG, Perkins, Pierce and Rondo. There all punks. Am i the only who thinks Rasheed is as good as KG?
he wasnt even close to that ball though dude like someone else who replied to you, what if max didnt get his hands down fast enough to cover his head because he was heading down head first. there is rough and then there is too much, that was too much. if you want rough give a body check before him jumping up, hard enough to push past the glass
love it how rasheed pushed kg and kg didnt do anyhting kg does that push from behind so much, remember tim duncan? hah!
What message was he supposed to send? I didn't watch the game, so I don't know what Maxiel had done before that play. If he did something uncalled for, then maybe he deserved to be punished. If the "message" was "you shouldn't beat me to the ball and get offensive rebounds" then that's inexcusable. Using flagrant fouls to scare your opponent is the most cowardly way to "send a message."
If you think Sheed is as good as KG right now then your hate for KG is the reason why. How is Rondo a punk?
You are so full of ****. Sending a message? Are you serious? This isn't some freakin wrestling ring where you can just headlock your opponent. Get real. Maxiell could have seriously been hurt.
HE COULD BE as good as KG, but time has proven that he has the skills and talent to be one a great PF, but he doesn't really desire that. I don't care how much you hate KG, but Rasheed is not as good as KG. It takes a lot more than a "IF" wallace did this and that he would be.
A lot of fans who have only been watching the NBA for a few years on this thread. That foul was not that bad. You guys sound like a bunch of girls. Seriously.
Wow, how predictable. Just because this stuff was done in the past and it wasn't taken as "bad" doesn't make it right in this day and age. This is basketball, not wrestling.
Oh come on, it was a VERY VERY hard foul, i would even call it dirty. He could really hurt Jason with this play. I would even suspend him for that...
That video sums up what a piece of **** KG is. Big tough guy pushes Maxiell and as soon as Wallace shoves him KG suddenly becomes the peace maker. If hes gonna act like such a tough guys all the time and trash talk he could at least have the balls to stand up to someone whos actually a hard guy.
