Bulletin Board Material

Game 2 of the NBA Finals is tomorrow night at 8 pm. After a certain Lakers player's post game remarks, I am extremely anxious to see which Kevin Garnett we see tomorrow night. I believe that you should always leave a sleeping giant asleep, maybe in Spain that saying doesn't exist. After dominating the Celtics on Thursday night, Pau Gasol made this comment: "On Kevin's part, he's also lost some explosiveness. He's more of a jump shooter now you could say, comes off the lane. Before he had a really, really quick first step and was getting to the lane and he was more aggressive then. Time passes and we all suffer it one way or another, but he's still a terrific player, a terrific competitor, and he's going to bring everything he's got. You can count on that." I do not think it was Gasol's intention to give a future NBA Hall of Famer in Garnett bulletin board material, but that is exactly what he did. Maybe nothing should be taken from these comments and Garnett should already be motivated to respond after his team's lackadasical effort in Game 1. Or maybe that is exactly what one of the NBA's most high strung players needed, not only might he of offended Garnett but the Celtics as a team are sure to respond!! Do you think Gasol's comments were taken out of context and he truly said nothing wrong?? Or do you think some one should explain to him what he might of done by awaking Kevin Garnett and Garnett's pride?? Does this even make a difference in the series??
