Fact is no one but KG can know exactly what was going on. All I know is when it happens it usually leads to a W. It obviously is not the only reason but it pumps the team up imo.
Just found this quote interesting because it sums up most people on that side of the argument.
But using that same logic I can say - whe KG doesnt step on the court the Celtics win a higher percentage of the time then with him. Is he hurting himself or on purpose to fire us up? Are they really better without him?

KG gets a ton of credit for things that can not be proven.
Last night he was getting eaten up and when he started his aggressive D he got scored on twice and went from 3 fouls to 5 and a tech? This was a plan? I wholeheartedly believe he wanted to get physical with Dirk to make him uncomfortable - no doubt. But did his plan als have him making two big hoops on him and putting him on the bench for 12 mins with 5 fouls? If he knew that he would force dirk to smoke him twice and that would lead to dirk going 0 for his next 7 that is some nostradomus type foresight. More likely, KG did his thing not to be a baby but b/c he is aggressive and thought ramping it up would benefit him and possibly his teams energy. And his teammates made him look very good.
You have to give leon more credit for the 0-7 then KG, leon actually played the defense and did a noticably better job of it then Kevin had all game. And as with the other three examples used earlier KG did x and PP went off.
Maybe PP goes off when he feels we are getting outplayed by inferior teams, as was the case in the examples mentioned and has happened numberous times for this team, even when KG did not go on an ultra aggressive defensive position. I think that is probably much more likely.
I think the actions were intentional and not "whining" just him doing what he thought was right, but giving him any real credit for the win and not rondo, pp and powe is insanity - especially when he never actually took the intesity and stopped Dirk or scored a hoop, or had a big block.
