Well, we all saw the ignominious travesty that was game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals - the no-call on Rondo's face, the D Wade MMA kick to KG's nuts, the general travesty that has always been NBA officiating. But trying to write a full-fledged post about it would just make me sound like a resentful, angry douche. Fortunately, Wally Szczerbiak and his Twitter account are around to 1.) show that he's an even bigger douche than I could hope to be 2.) take my mind off the crushing loss 3.) Make me realize why I shouldn't feel sorry for any of the current Celtics, because there are still sad, sorry souls like Wally S (I can't write that abominable last name again) who just wish they could have, at any point, been as good as KG.
Anyway, I figured it would be fun to poke back at Wally, because one turn of petty antagonizing deserves another. Add your own gem to the comment string and I'll put the best ones on my Twitter feed. On to Game 3 tonight, where hopefully the home-cookin can be as one-sided as it was in Game 2. (P.S.> save your insults - you know I'm from Boston. I'm SUPPOSED to feel this way). Anyway, enjoy the tweets, and go Celtics!

Honestly, I can't get wound up about someone insulting Garnett. The guy is King Dickweed.
How about "We all know Wally isn't man enough to get in a scuffle with Jose Calderon on-court, so he tweets about KG."
Yet somehow the internet sits there and yet again blames Lebron for the loss
This shit is getting nuts, Dwyane Wade is the luckiest player in the league. Almost all of his bad games and bullshit mistakes are glossed over because the only person ever responsible for the Heat losing is Lebron James
I found that watching Bruce Bowen kick Wally's face is a cure for a lot of things, no matter who you support.
"Heat unconcerned by free throw complaints."
No shit. I'd be unconcerned too if any time I wanted points I could simply fall to the floor.
Q: Lebron, your team is shooting about 86 free throws a game. You personally shot 24 last game. Does this concern you?
A: Um.. no, it doesn't really bother me. It's not ideal obviously, but I'm ok with it.
Actually, that is pretty close to the truth. Everyone's really brave on Twitter, eh?
- The post isn't a defense of KG's personality, just an indictment of WS, a past player of no particular consequence, who fancies himself some sort of commentator these days, making such an infantile comment through a social media outlet designed for malcontents, self-centered people, and those with attention deficit disorder (I fall under all three categories, btw).
- The post is mainly satirical and glib. When people don't get that, they will find themselves not only insulting me, but defending Wally Szczerbiak. Lighten. Up. People!
- kazam - "flooding his mentions"??? Have you ever been on Twitter? Wally Szczerbiak has 8,890 followers, and is currently following 250 people. If my 10 jokes (which are in part making fun of of the giant social clusterfuck that is Twitter - see above) manage to get on Wally Szczerbiak's radar, then his life is actually far sadder than I purport it to be.
- Naz - Who is McGrooth indeed? And why does he think we care?
And I would agree with you that home court seems to be weighing heavy in this series, so I give the edge to the Spurs. Unless they manage to blow game 5. If they do, it's over, just as it will be for the Celts if they drop game 4.
ET
Winner of Game 5 takes the series.
...on the other hand, Rondo did say "in transition," meaning the C's took advantage in the fast break of the Heat essentially being distracted, but the way he phrased it needlessly makes the comment bulletin board material.
ET
The Celtics are a baaaaad matchup against San Antonio and OKC, either one of those teams would ruin the Celtics. The Heat have a better chance, but still a slim one. Ever since the Spurs went up 3 and 0 against the Clippers and the Heat and Celtics were struggling I had a feeling that the West is winning this year, especially if it's SA going to the Finals.
Such I lousy game that I don't really want to watch anymore. The WCFs has been good, clean fun with few bad calls. The ECFs have been a clusterf**k of abysmal officiating. Either the NBA is trying to engineer the goddamn series or they have the worst officials imaginable and are steering the worst to the ECFs because people expect it to be an ugly defense fest anyway.
Ugh. Stoopid NBA. Stoopid David Stern. God I hate that guy.
I agree that wally is slightly douchie, and I was with you in calling him a dick for taking jealous potshots @ KG, but everything you said was mostly mean and not funny, plus you borderline went after his family. That was *infinitely worse* than everything wally said, and that's why people are giving you so much crap about it even though you were only making a "joke".
"It was like chess," Ray Allen said. "They took our queen, then we took their queen."
I can't help but LOL because of the Queen James reference.
I was on the fence about mentioning his kid, but was just making fun of Wally and the name name he chose...Maximus Szczerbiak? That's awesome. I do see your point, and appreciate it. Guess I'm out of practice...
I do still love it when people actually spend time writing "that's not funny" about stuff here instead of just going on about their lives...
