KG always falls away and starts to move back after he takes a shot, instead of moving forward and looking set to grab a rebound.  That's an issue.

Makes me wonder if KG just never really learned how to rebound with fundamentals since he always had such amazing athleticism (and he never went to college).

He's a guard locked in a 6'11 body...he's always been like this, but when the athleticism goes you have to play with fundamentals.  like you, it's becoming apparent he never learned many of them to where they become muscle-memory...

Doc, ok you got away with it for a few minutes. Now please get a rim protector back in there. Pierce needs backside help.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Down 5 with the ball with 3 minutes to go is better than I thought it would be.  This despite giving the ball away and missing VERY makeable shots. Pierce and KG missing open 10 footers they rarely miss in the last couple of minutes.

Need to score out of this TO.

btw, Rondo is 2 assists and 2 rebounds away from a triple-dub.

Ugh, I'm so sick of seeing KG get stuffed and stripped inside.  He has no inside presence anymore.

Durant is scary good.

Yup.  C's don't have any players like that.  In a close game, that's what it comes down to.  Is your best scorer better than my best scorer? No?  Well, you lose.

A lot like the game against the Bulls last Friday.

27 or so NBA teams don't have a player like that.

Is there a worse starting PF in the league than Garnett?

KG's always been in love with the turnaround fallaway.

McHale did the best he could with him, but you've got to fight for everything you get in the paint, and fallaways are still 2 pts, even as they leave you out of position for the board.

Thunder are so much harder to guard now that Thabo can hit the 3 really well.
