2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[JSD]

KG has yet to surpass the first round without a 20 ppg scorer beside him. we've already gone over this, the notion that he can carry a team offensively is flawed. He needs a dynamic scorer (Sprewell/Pierce) to have success... History proves it.

"oh, but he led this and that in the 2008 playoffs"

Because Paul Pierce and Ray Allen allowed him the spacing to operate. Your team has no such weapons to allow KG to do that.

Think 2007 Timberwolves.

Well luckily a great number of people here disagree with you

[JSD]

Yes, because of the KG bias. 

good luck

[Rondo2287]

Its not a bias, he really is that good...

Garnett vs Pau
Garnett leads 15-6
Ganett-24 ppg, 13.4 Rpg, 5.1 Ass, 1.3 ste, 1.8 blk
Gasol- 18 ppg, 8 rpb, 2.6 ass, .7 steals, 1.6 blk

Yes, because of the KG bias. 

good luck

Bias based on watching him come to Boston and win a title.

Him and a couple of offensive HOF'ers (which Toronto has nothing close to).

Rondo, no response here? Where's Kwit10? Maybe he can help. Clearly The alliance is still strong.

Hobbs? 

[Rondo2287]

Listen man, I understand that your team is out of it but lets calm down a little bit.

When you look at Toronto you need to concentrate on how they would play defense not offense to understand why his team is so good. He has 3 people who have won or at least been candidates for defensive player of the year. They only need to score 85 points a game to win, that's how good their d is.

[Rondo2287]

And I dunno, I would say having 4 guys that averaged 15 points or higher last year is a pretty dynamic offense and then have 5 more guys that averaged above 10 points last year.  I think I have plenty of scoring.

TP for Evantime, Defense and rebounding wins championships.

I disagree, he has 2 player coming off of major injury and passed their peak, Ron Artest and no go-to guy.

Um...  Pau Gasol has yet to win a game in the playoffs without Kobe Bryant playing next to him. 

Also, of course, your statement is wrong.  KG reached the Western Conference Finals when he was the only player scoring 20 or more, either in the regular season or playoffs.

Nick, who are the champs right now? Defense and Rebounding huh? I'd say a go-to scorer combined with solidarity in other areas.

[Roy Hobbs]

That only goes so far when the great defensive team limits / contains / shuts down the go-to scorer.
