No love from Garnett, Pierce, and Rondo?

When LeBron was eliminated by the Magic a year ago, he left for the locker room and did not shake hands with any Magic player... and was heavily criticized by the media.

After LeBron, Wade, and the Heat knocked off Boston last night, Garnett, Pierce, and Rondo went straight into the locker room without shaking hands or congratulating the Heat players/coaches. Yet, we've yet to hear a peep from the media about bad sportsmanship. The only star for Boston to congratulate Miami was Ray Allen.

LeBron got crucified for it, but Garnett, Pierce, and Rondo don't even get a slap on the wrist. It really shows you that the media controls everything! And how they want the fans to perceive the players.

Where is the love?

    There was tension between Wade and Rondo. Wade was agressive at all times pretty much and becuz of Rondo's army "injury" caused by Wade. No question why Rondo did not show any love.

    There was tension between Pierce and Garnet vs Lebron too, pretty much same story but no one rly got injured. As far as i can remember I think Lebron knocked down Rondo a couple of times while driving. So thats a reason why they not showing any love.

    There was also a point when Wade faked Garnet so bad, Hmm another reason why they should not show any love.

    Other than that it's probably because they just hate Lebron

    Did you watch the end of the game?

    How can they shake their hands when the Heat were celebrating like they won the NBA Championship? The Heat should have came out to shake their hands instead of running into a circle immediately after time ran out and celebrating.

    Did you expect the Celtics to run into their celebration to shake hands or wait around until they were done?

    The Celtic players and Doc Rivers all congratulated the Heat in the locker room after the game, I heard it on the postgame show.

    The better question is:

    Why don't the Heat have enough class to congratulate the team they just beat?

    Well lets be fair at the end of the game most of the heat players were hugging each other lebron was even on the floor. They probably didn't want to wait for them to stop celebrating to shake their hands.

    yeah but he's lebron james.......the same guy who came str8 out of highschool and was already being compared to MJ #23 before the NBA.........the same guy whose mother slept with his teammate delonte west! That's why he doesn't get away with things like other players in the league such as KG PEIRCE OR RONDO.

    Well KG got heat for calling a bald Detriot player a cancer patient lol and PP got stabbed outside a nightclub

    Could not have said it better.

    BUT...as I type this, Mike & Mike are blasting the rest of the Celtics for not shaking hands.

    But yeah, Lebron is only trying to do the right thing, people need to lay off.

    LeJerk tried to justify his childish behavior by saying he was a "competitor" and congratulating the men who beat you wasn't something a competitor did. It was a lame excuse by a choker and a poor excuse for a mammal, and that's why LeAsshole was vilified for it. You'd think the ghetto rat would learn to keep his big mouth shut. This is why drunken hos shouldn't be allowed to procreate...fans wind up having to put up with bipeds like LePrick.

    Because people are biased and when you are the best player in the NBA you criticized for any little thing!

  • 1 decade ago

    Sometimes, it is really hard for the players to control their emotion, besides; it's unfair to say something against them without even knowing their reasons.

    But for most, such attitude and behavior show unsportsmanlike.

    Good luck

    Garnett and pierce were obviously pissed cuz its them, and rondo was injured so he was probably really mad too, its cool that Kristic was able to keep his cool tho.
