Garnett Suspended For Game 2

[Built Ford Tough]

Guys were grabbing at him because he started [expletive] with Q for no reason. What do you expect starting something in front of our bench. Any now since you wanna make up a scenario, no it wouldn't be but this was above the shoulders and to the guys face, so no it wouldn't be. I'd say the chest and the face are different scenarios no?

 

You honestly believe Garnett's elbow wasn't intentional? The camera showed everyone involved and it was clearly KG who started everything. The worst thing someone on the Heat did was when UD pushed Davis out of the way.

 

How can you say that Garnett started [expletive] with Richardson for no reason? It is hilarious that you just called somebody bias two posts ago and then go ahead and type something like that.

 

Richardson walked up to Garnett and Pierce, who was lying on the floor hurt (whether he was faking it or not is completey irrelevant), talking trash to them. Garnett pushed him a little bit to clear space and to give his hurt (again, completely irrelevant as to whether or not he was faking it) space, and then Richardson says something to Garnett again, which led to the elbow, which shouldn't even be called an elbow with how weak it was.

 

There is absolutely no doubt that Garnett is the guiltiest person in this scenario, and after seeing the 2nd elbow that he threw I completely agree that he deserves to be suspended for game 2, but to act like Richardson is some innocent victim in this whole situation is just wrong. If he doesn't walk over there, when he clearly knows that they won't be inbounding the ball with an injured player lying on the sidelines, and start talking trash, this entire situation doesn't even happen.

 

Garnett deserves most of the blame for overreacting to the situation (I still believe that he didn't do anything wrong up until the 2nd elbow, and even then, it is hard to blame him for that elbow with it being in the heat of the moment and having people grabbing him), but Richardson definitely played a part in this as well and you are being a homer if you think otherwise.
