Bibby aims at Celtics' Perkins

Yesterday, Mike Bibby was actually the type to pile on. After hearing what Kendrick Perkins had to say about his comments ("If you had a 2-for-10 shooting night, you'll say something like that, too.") he aligned his crosshairs on the Celtics center. "I don't know where he all of a sudden got this tough streak from," Bibby said before the game. "His stat line was worse than mine. I haven't really seen him do much in his career. So until he does something or shows me something, I really don't think he should say anything."

Yep, folks in Boston ARE fairweather.

Uh, Bibby, your team lost the first game by 23 and the second by 19. Best you can do about it is run your mouth?

April 24, 2008  06:22 AM ET

bibby is right though, perkins would have not dared to say this last year!

both suk

KG,Pierce, Allen can talk trash. Kendrick Perkins can not..

Not room for much banter when you lose two games by a combined 42 points. If Hawk Management doesn't fire Woodson after this series they're bigger idiots than I thought they were. The Hawks looked like the undisciplined team they are in the first two games. It's pathetic!

Atl has not been able to do much against the Celts. Yes the fans are fairweather but so is much of the NBA. Where are all the Heat fans during this year- no one showed up!
This proves that the league needs to change up the playoffs 1-166. The Hawks shouldn't even made the playoffs- the West had better teams that were over .500- Golden State and Boston would have been a nice match up

man those celtics r doiiin good thiis playoff season they havn't loss a game yet

Got that right JTMEEK...........we shouldn't even have to watch the crappy Hawks. Golden St missed the playoffs and were far superior. Bibby can shut up now.....he added little value himself first two games.

he looks like the italian guy on that tila tequila show. seriously...both of you ****

Perkins was much better last night. I liked Perkins other comment better anyways, "It's going to take us coming down there to fill your house." Either way, I don't care if it's a WNBA player talking back to Bibby, he needs to shut his pie hole. He did horrible when the crowd booed him.

WHAT THE HECK HAS BIBBY DONE. WHAT AN IDIOT

I agree that Bibby needs to do less talking and more practicing his shot... But all of you who are hating watching the Hawks in the playoffs get over it... Lakers are up 2-0 over Denver, Spurs are up 2-0 over Phoenix, Utah is up 2-0 over Houston, and New Orleans is up 2-0 over Dallas... I don't care how close the games are, everyone in the West has a chance of being SWEPT! Where is this so-called competition?

Granted, Kendrick Perkins isn't one to talk but still. Last time I checked Bibby was a former allstar, the fact that one of the best players on the Hawks is getting into a argument with the weakest member of the C's starting five is the perfect example of what a lack of class Bibby is, seriously, you already look like Mini Me, try your best to rise above and just play basketball, it seems to everyone watching that you've been practicing your speeches more than your jump shots.

And to think, I was one of the one's who thought the Hawks got a steal in this trade.... shame on me.

Straight from a Bostonian...

I agree with Bibby 100% again. I've said that all along. "Who the he*& is Kendrick Perkins?". This guy shows up and apparently has been in the league for a while and all of a sudden starts pumping his chest in Boston like he's some superstar. The guy's a friggin' scrub.

Good for you Bibby! Way to say what most people think and just won't say.

April 24, 2008  09:46 AM ET

Yeah James but at least he was an all-star. What does Perkins have on his resume? Nothing!

I thought the whole point of trash-talking was that you could back it up.

Mike Bibby has turned into a joke.
