Once again we have an example of grown men behaving badly. In last evening’s game between the Celtics and the Knicks, Melo and Kevin Garnett could not seem to agree on what was proper as far as defending each other. After the game, Melo was waiting by the Celtics team bus and reportedly an altercation between the two ensued following the game. This seems so childish! I personally got a kick out of the tweet sent out by Kobe Bryant depicting Dwight Howard (with his injured shoulder in a sling) and himself “engaging in some fisticuffs” with coach D’Antoni in the middle looking on. This was a jab at the media reports that indicated he and Dwight had a heated disagreement following the loss to the 76er’s last week. At least Kobe can keep a sense a humor about all this nonsense. As I said in a previous post…let’s ask ourselves…What would Kobe do?
Speaking of Kobe and the Lakers, they will limp into tonight’s game against the Houston Rockets missing several starters (Howard and Gasol for sure) with a very thin bench. We may get to see their 2012 draft pick, Robert Sacre in action. For those of you have been watching, he has been providing Hollywood type of entertainment on the bench so far this season with his enthusiastic movements in celebration of highlight moments. If in fact he does get some playing time, will be interesting to see if he responds accordingly while on the court! The Lakers are really struggling and will face off against the Rockets tonight at 8:00 pm EST.
