Don’t think for a moment that Kevin Garnett doesn’t pay attention to what’s being said about him. Following tonight’s series-clinching win over the Hawks, KG responded to claims from the Atlanta Hawks owner that the Celtics were “old” and that Garnett was a “dirty player.”
“First off, I want to say thank you to the (Hawks) owner for giving me some extra gas tonight,” Garnett said. “My only advice to him is next time he opens his mouth, actually know what he’s talking about — X’s and O’s versus checkbooks and bottom lines.”
“Just because you got a bunch of money doesn’t mean you can open your mouth.”
