Quentin Richardson's got some beef.

Quentin Richardson played a decent game last night. He was crappy (3-10) from the field, but was clearly pushing for rebounds and giving his all on defense. His real performance, though, came after the action. Check out Q's carefree transitions between verb tenses and hints at a cage match to come, via Skeets (originally on Boston.com):

"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.”

I understand that Q has some history with these Celtics, and it's probably pretty irritating to get an earful from the likes of Eddie House, but...what?

Just remember

If Q-Rich ever gets a hold of any of their addresses, he can call up his ex and tell her that he’s at that person’s house. That would shut ’em up quick.

That, or makes things worse. But it would be exciting!

quentin gets off early

then comes out for long stretches while mardy collins falls down in the act of playmaking. give quentin a little second quarter burn and those 4th quarter jumpers will start to fall.

as far as punching every last one of them dudes in the lips – i don’t care… i think tussles are ok. i wouldn’t fuck with garnett and perkins too much though probably, and i bet rondo can scrap. but the rest of them palookas??

Shush it, Quentin. Some of these guys haven’t been in the league long enough? KG, Ray and Piecre not been in the league long enough? Whatever. Keep it gangsta, Quentin.

well

if the knicks were a contending team the last couple of years who have given the celtics a run for their money it’d be cool, but even when the celtics sucked dick in 06 the knicks got trashed by them. Q needs to keep it on the DL until we start smashing them.

I hear you guys

But at least it’s good to see there’s some fight in the Knicks so far this season. Coach’s got em playing well, even though we’ve dropped the last couple games. Keep this up and they might even get some love from John Hollinger.

he right

Q is right. He’s not talkin bout the NBA, really. He’s just sayin that SOME of the Celtics are, well, punks; and on another court they would probably NOT be talking the kind of shit they do on an NBA court.

He has a point, the C’s play some dirty D, and like to talk trash. and while they are right to feel entitled in the League; on any other court, their scrubs would shut the f up, and let pierce do the talking backed up by Garnett and Perk.

I mean, I come from middle class Hawaii, and still, on the playground, if you talk mad trash and can’t back it up really, you will be shut up. It may or may not come to blows, but it is always a possibility. Now, in a neighborhood that’s rougher, that kind of behavior could get you killed.

That may not be the reality of the NBA or even college ball, but for most of us, that’s how it goes.
