Most Hated Celtic?

PrintJeff mentioned a list of players he hated a few days ago. He had included Joakim Noah while guys like Verajao, and Bibby were already on it.
I have to wonder, aside from the Big three and now Rondo who would simply be hated because of how good they are, who would be the Celtic other fans hate the most.
Who is the player that crawls under the opposing opponent's fans' skin. The guy so animated that opposing fans would simply like to tell him to shut the f' up. Players who opposing fans perceive their attitudes as thinking they are "all that". Players who others feel have no right to talk trash, but we all know can back it up. Actually, that is why they are hated.
I have 3 Candidates:
#1 Kendrick Perkins - Opposing fans hate enforcers. He knows his role, a part of it is to be mean and intimidating. He is very vocal, very expressive with that angry face. His swagger has been elevated this season due to an increased role (with or without KG), and a Championship ring. Proof of this was the barrage of Technical Fouls early in the Season.
#2 Brian Scalabrine - This guy has never lacked on Attitude and confidence. Not afraid to talk, and not the least bit insecure about his lack of athleticsm and talent. People see him and wonder why he is in the NBA, and then he hits a key 3 point shot and people angrily wonder why that just happened.
#3 Eddie House - Another big trash talker. Can't handle the ball, can't get to the basket. Can't catch a pass for a fast break layup. But can back up anything he does with 3 point consistency. Also, he won't hesitate to put someone down to prevent a layup and loudly proclaim to the bench that that is how it is done.
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

yup, from what I've seen...
people hate Perk
they think he’s riding the coat tails of the big 3 and doesn’t deserve to walk around with a chip on his shoulder the way he does
that’s fine with me though, I’d rather have a bully than an annoying pogo stick (Noah) any day

I like my annoying clowns lean and with frizzy hair
Oafish men with delusions of grandeur who don’t know what the 3 second violation is just don’t cut it.
That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.

EVERYBODY HATES
pierce and KG just jealous go on youtube on a cavs or lakers or celtics video and its all celtics hate and ive talked to some LA fans and theyve even admitted they hated pierce and KG cuz theyre jealous no one hated them before until they started winning and dominating Rondo’s hated too
Only The Strong Survive
Its true...
on or off the court he is despised, and not necessarily out of jealousy. “Bully” “Coward” and “Braying Ass” are sobriquets I’ve read over the last few days. They made a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuxOKp7JtHo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2

Kendrick Perkins
Perkins has to play like a madman now he has no K.G. or Leon Powe. Mikki Moore the human toothpick can’t help on the boards. Playing tough is part of the game. If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen. I’ve gone to Celtic games since 1963 and never saw a bunch of cry babies like todays players. If your called for a foul just continue playing and forget about the crying.That includes the Celtics the team that i’m rooting for. The refs make mistakes like you and me so just live with them. Perkins is still just a kid of 24 so get used to it he will be around for quite awhile.

My guess is that
other fans around the league love the sight of MM on the court.

The best of the 2008-09 Boston Celtics is still yet to come. Believe.

perkins.
my issues with him are the following
1) doesn’t realize what he is…w/o three allstars around him, he would most certainly be only another player on his way to Robert Traylor territory. much more cocky than he should be (rondo on the other hand would be just fine in any other situation, maybe a bit later than now, but just fine all the same.)
2) he’s never met a moving pick he didn’t like. or a three second violation he didn’t like. or a back push during a loose ball that he didn’t like. playing tough is one thing, utter disregard for rules is just irritating.
3) the way he glowers. he looks like the cowardly lion. but like, when he’s trying to proclaim himself the king of the forest.
other thank porkins, i really am quite alright with almost all of the guys on your team. and i’m sure you care.

NO DOUBT.
No doubt in my mind that the players who know who makes who, and, honestly, most of them do these days, dislike B-Scal the most. Dude got a 3 year deal worth 10+ mil… uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. nuff said.
