Where in my post did I mention that Garnett wasn't a great defender? My post was mainly pointed to how the Celtics coaching(mainly ton thibodeau) contributes more to the Celtics great defense more than just Garnett individually. People here act like Garnett didn't just play for a **** team last year, that his team that he lead last year came no where to sniffing the damn playoffs. My point was why the hell weren't the T wolves known as a good defensive team with Garnett since he such a damn dominating defensive presence these days..Hell to be even more honest, he wasn't known as a good defender either. So where did all this recognition of being such a damn good defender come from, so much that he single-handelely transformed that entire celtic team to defensive juggernaut? lol I mean comeon....
* 9-time All-Defensive:
* First Team: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008
* Second Team: 2006, 2007
They disagree with you.
As for T'Wolves being bad defensively....
It tends to be ugly defensively if you start Mike James, Randy Foye, Mark Blount and Ricky Davis.
