yes, people hate garnett for the way he plays...he is dirty. thanks captain obvious! were people who criticized malone or bowen "haters" too? here is your first post in the thread... again, you seemed to be trying to dismiss any criticism of his actions by labeling those who are critical of him as "haters". that people have no rational reason to "hate"....they just "hate" to "hate". i dont understand this whole "hate"/"hater" thing that has become popular in our vernacular the last 5 years. it used to be that you could criticize something or someone and it didnt mean you "hate" them. people these days are not able to take criticism so they dismiss it as "hate". that way they dont have to actually talk about the content of what is being said. its just laziness. you can ignore the content of the thread (garnett punching someone in the groin and sticking his feet under them) and simply dismiss everyone as "haters".
