Kevin garnett is our Dirk this year?

[TA9]

I'd say Stiemsma ... Problem is he is playing with absolutely 0 confidence right now. Probably has a lot to do with Doc just ditching him in the Atlanta series.

Yeah, I have been thinking the same. Confidence is in the toilet and I think Doc's benching of Stiemsma is main reason why.

Can you blame him though? If Doc benched you in favor of one of the worst players in the NBA, would you have any confidence?

I agree that Stiemsma is better than Hollins, but the only reason that Hollins got the nod over Stiemsma is that he produced when Stiemsma didnt. Dont hate on Hollins he played a fairly good series for us.

LOL. He was atrocious.

His statline doesnt show it, but correct me if im wrong. When Hollins was on the floor he and KG allowed 80 points per 100 Possessions, alot better than what Stiemsma did with KG. Hollins was one of the difference makers in the Hawks series. He had an ok series..

No he wasn't. Because when Hollins was on the floor defensive efficiency might have gone up, but the offensive output went way down.

Hollins was awful. Always will be awful. It's something fans of all teams do, try to talk themselves into thinking their crap players aren't actually crap.

Stiemer played very, very few minutes with KG in game one and I guess maybe two, but Doc then made a point of trying to always have KG and Hollins playing together.  Anyone playing with KG last series after the first game had great defensive stats.

[TitleMaster]

Just need to keep this up for 11 more wins, that's it 

So, between now and then, give KG all the cortisone shots and Oxycontin that he needs to not 'feel' sore and then, he can rehabilitate during the off season.

The Celtics don't need a JJ and a Chandler.



They have a Pierce, Rondo and Ray.   




But let's be honest, KG needs Pierce, Ray and Rondo to step up this game and take some of the scoring load off him soon.  (especially in the the first three quarters)
