Joakim Noah: Kevin Garnett dirty, Paul Pierce a drama queen

Everyone is making a big deal of the Joakim Noah comments with regards Cleveland and Kevin Garnett. The Cleveland comments were not really that interesting or surprising, so we focus on the Garnett comments.

First of all, Noah is right about Garnett, he’s very dirty player and that’s just how he plays. Rodman was a dirty player too and yet maybe the best defensive player of all time.

I know Noah have no right to be talking about another series especially because he’s series with the Cavs is beginning to look like a sweep. Notwithstanding, he’s absolutely right and with he’s team facing a sweep he might as well enjoy watching the games like the rest of us.

After the Bulls’ Game 1 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, Noah said he watched the other three Game 1s later that day and had some interesting commentary on the heated game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat.

“That was unbelievable yesterday, that Boston-Miami game,” Noah said Sunday following the Bulls’ workout at Quicken Loans Arena. “He’s unbelievable, that guy. I’m gonna say it: He’s a dirty player, man. That’s messed up.”

The dirty player in question is Boston’s Kevin Garnett, who was ejected for hitting Miami’ Quentin Richardson with an elbow during a stoppage. After his unsolicited condemnation of Garnett, Noah was asked if the Celtics All-Star should be suspended for Game 2.

“I don’t make the decisions, but he’s always swinging elbows, man,” Noah said. “I’m hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It’s unbelievable, man. He’s a dirty player. I mean, it’s one thing to be competitive and compete and all that, but don’t be a dirty player. He’s a dirty player.

“He knows what he’s doing is wrong. And then afterward he says … I shouldn’t even be talking about this stuff. It’s crazy.”

And for the record, Paul Pierce really, really needs to stop being a drama queen.
