SHUT UP! – 2 words that would be the best advice in the 2012 NBA Playoffs first round.
The Denver Nuggets snagged 2 games out of the Los Angeles Lakers, game 5 and game 6, forcing a decision game to Staples Center after being inspired by Andrew Bynum’s irresponsible and ill-fated passage in which Coach Karl used to motivate his Nuggets to play ball.
The Motivation:
“Closeout games are actually kind of easy. Teams tend to fold if you come out and play hard in the beginning.” -Bynum
While in the East, Atlanta Hawks’ co-owner, Michael Gearon Jr., may have also zip his mouth as Kevin Garnett percolated with his 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 steals to seal the fate of the Hawks’ season.
The Motivation:
“Kevin Garnett is the dirtiest player in the leauge” -Gearon
It’s like 2011 Heat all over again. The celebration came first before the last win of the season.
