How was KG injured?

[pearljammer10]

I like him attacking, but he had a 2 on 1 and Pierce was wide open. At least he could have gotten the ball to Pierce and Pierce might have been able to return it for an alley oop... Silent the crowd a bit and get the team pumped up a bit.

Hedo went after his legs instead of the ball.

I'm still livid that foul wasn't called a flagrant. If KG wasn't 7 feet tall there wouldn't have been any second thoughts about making the right call.

Was a flagrant no doubt.

Not condoning the hit by Turkey-Glow but KG should have dished the ball.

Garnett have to attack more
hes long difficult to stop and ref respect him
he was the only foul on 4th againt dwight
i know the shots felt and he love those
but changing from shooting to attacking from time to time
will help this team a LOT
and will open a little more shot for Ray and Pierce

I like him attacking more, like he's been doing, but on that play he didn't have a clear path to the hoop.  if he dished it off he'd have either given a layup to the guy on the wing (I forget who was with him on the break) or he would have received it back for a dunk.

I thought the path was clear enough for a high percentage bucket.  It was at least clear enough to warrant an intentional foul.  There was no one running the break with him that's why he was handling the ball.  Pierce was trailing a good deal behind and while KG probably could have made the difficult pass through Turk to Paul who had somewhat caught up once he was already at the rim and Hedo had committed, I think he made the correct play.  Pierce was in better position to clean up if KG missed (he even made an easy putback dunk after the foul).

mmmm...I dunno...Turkoglu had a closer angle to the hoop and Pierce was wide open.

Getting to the line is definitely the right play. If Pierce misses a 3 on a pass, we kill KG for excessive passing.

KG looked better then anyone in that game, hopefully not much to worry about

I find it over the top hilarious someone is actually criticizing KG for being too agressive...hes been the most passive offensive superstar clutch in games in NBA history, has been criticized his entire career for not wanting to shoot in that spot, and he did, and he did so aggressively...GOOD

Don't have a problem with KG being aggressive - I like it.  I just think he should have passed on that play.  That's all.
