Kiwi will enjoy this article...Adams is quickly becoming one of my favorite interviews! I love how he says Garnett's trash talking makes him "sad".
I love having KG back in the team, but I sure wish he would act 38 rather than 13 on the court.

This came from the comment section of your link, LST. Kiwi would get a chuckled from it!

New Zealanders in general prefer to be stoic and not talk smack. Australians on the other hand never shut up. It's annoying because their accent is like an evil version of ours.

Great, it would be nice if it actually translated to games. Or if KG actually played a game. Also, Flip the Coach will always rationalize what Flip the President did: "Hey, we might be playing like zombies in real games, but our practices are legendary thanks to KG! What a brilliant move by the GM!"
(sorry, feeling crabby today).

Noticed that 38ish Tim Duncan went over 40 minutes last night. Anybody know where we can find a 38 year old future hall of famer who can do that?

Think Duncan would have done that if they were not in the playoff picture?
You don't need to keep digging up crap to complain about, unless your sole purpose is to egg on the pro-KG posters...

Should I have said a 38 year old future hall of famer who can strap it on for 25 minutes?

Or you can just let me know when Duncan is available!

Adams was joking or as we say down under 'taking the piss'.
Adrian sums it up pretty well lol. Us Kiwis try to be humble and suffer from 'tall poppy syndrone' which pretty much means we don't like people talking themselves up. It's all about being down to earth and treating everyone equal. An ego is quickly cut down in New Zealand.

So Matt, I'm sure you enjoy Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith, right?
