Kevin Garnett vs Jose Calderon (Nov 11, 2008)

del.icio.us

I'm surprised the refs didn't call a tech on KG for this one. I guess it's because KG talks so much -- to himself, to teammates, to opponents, to fans, to no one in particular -- it probably didn't register with the refs.

But it came a time that gave the Celtics and the Garden crowd a much needed fire and emotional lift, as the Celtics mounted a furious comeback in what was their most difficult win of the season so far.

The Big 3 turned it up, scoring 76 points combined. Paul Pierce alone scored 22 points in the fourth quarter, equaling the output of the entire Raptors.

(I understand that Raptors fans and fans from Spain don't appreciate KG's antics here, but I hope y'all understand it's just part of the game. No point blowing it out of proportion or feeling indignant, because it's not personal. Believe it or not, KG does this primarily to get himself and his teammates going -- and he's always been like this.

I AM a Jose Calderon fan, and I will remove any idiotic or racist comments directed at either Calderon or Garnett.)
