I think I want Dirk taking a final shot over any big man in the league, except maybe free throws, he's a deadly shooter from anywhere on the floor, why would you want another big taking the shot, when he's clearly the best shooter?

In a perfect world I want a big like Garnett who can draw a double down low, rebound, make the big stops and stifle another teams offense, and get a Ginobli or Billups type to take the final buckets.

is that a fancy way of saying that prior to not even making the playoffs for 3 seasons, they lost to a team with an inferior record the last two times they did?


Because the Shaq/Kobe Lakers are clearly inferior to this starting lineup.

Troy hudson
Kendall Gill/Anthony Peeler
Wally Z
KG
Rasho

Gimme a break :roll:

Look at that team!!! they were somehow ranked 5th in offense and won 51 games. Seriously, 51 games. The second best player, Wally(LAWL) missed 30 games....

So does Garnett.


It's 3-0 after the Celtics beat the Cavs.

KG gets off a lot easier than Dirk does.


if Dirk lost to a team that won 3 titles in a row, no one would give him beef
