Q-Bitch

I noticed during the game last night that Quentin Richardson and Paul Pierce were going back and forth during the fourth quarter while Pierce was at the free throw line. Q-Rich was jawing at Paul, who was talking back but smiling and knocking down his free throws. So, I wasn't surprised to read on Ball Don't Lie today that Q-Rich once again felt the need to speak out against the Celtics. You'll remember that he did this last year as well.


Here are his comments:


"I think a few of those guys know they can't just say anything to us," said Richardson. "I'm just real curious to see what those guys will be saying if we weren't in a basketball league, and didn't have referees. I mean it wouldn’t be the same story. I mean they are the world champions and rah-rah-rah, but the tough part I don't factor."

"I come from a neighborhood where you can say what you want to say, but 'til you do something, it don't mean nothing. Some of those guys are happy to get a ring, but you ain't been in the league long enough to talk to people like that. I don't have a lot of respect for that. Like I said, I'd be curious to hear what they have to say in a different setting, I'd be very curious to see that."




............So, if I understand correctly, it sounds like he wants to play a game without referees. Is that correct? Were the referees the problem? Maybe I'm misinterpreting. Also, apparently he comes from a neighborhood where you your talk doesn't mean anything...sorry...where your talk doesn't mean NOTHING...until you do something. This is surprising since the Knicks haven't beaten the Celtics in the regular season since he started opening his mouth about them last year. You'd think he'd stop, especially after losing to a Celtics team that rolled out Scal instead of KG. Also, apparently talking means nothing, yet he'd be interested to see what the Celtics would say in a different setting. I'm not sure why he wants to know what they'd say and why that matters if talking means nothing, or what other setting he is referencing. This is all very confusing.
