KG calls out fair-weather Sixers fans

KG.... Getting the crowd fired up for the Sixers isn't the smartest thing to do at this point.

This series is going 7 games. He better hope that Garden crowd can energize those old legs in Game 7.

Its good. KG is looking for and accepting competition. I mean I dont like KG personally, but this is what NBA needs, fire and desire

Game 6 just became "must-see" TV here in the outer lands...

Philly is draining out whatever energy these old legs have. Heat should thank Philly a whole bunch!!

Why take shot at the fans? You don't know, he might play for them next year.

Why in the world would he do that?

Really... where is he going to go that' s as good as what he's got going in Boston?

KG isn't going anywhere IMO.

Free agency and maybe boatload of money if he gets offered. Keep your options open.

He's not going anywhere...

Why? the Heat are going through some draining times all their own trying to handle the Pacers

And everyone (Ghost) knows that poor LBNique is exhausted after playing 3 quarters.

Celtics will finish things in game 6.

LOL!!!!! Just please get the win in game 6.... I'm ready to move on....

I'm from Philly, but most fanbases across the country are 'fairweather.' Of course there are exceptions like the Canadians, Cubs, RedSox have a long storied tradition, but if a team isn't winning, they usually have a tough time selling out.

Now whats different about 20 years ago is that the price to go see a live sporting event is so expensive that they have lost a good chunk of fans that have been outpriced. I know that I don't go to nearly as many games as I did when I was younger simply because the tickets, parking, and food are so outrageous at these games.

I do think Mr. Garnett needs to look at his history before he makes statements like this as before 2007 (When the Celtics were not an elite team) they were ranked in the 20's out of 30 teams in attendance. I'm sure they weren't selling out the building in 15-67 year in 2006-07 either, so again I think fairweather sports fan exist all over the country.

I Agree.... When a team is not winning it's hard to be loyal.... But there's also the crazy prices that make people not wanna go to the games..... I went to the Clipper-Spurs game last sunday and it was SO MUCH MONEY just sitting in the middle rows.... I don't think i'll be doing that again....

Agreed. They'll be raucous for Game 6.

Wow, he used his words and didn't curse? They must be paraphrasing him.
