I am going to go with Paul Pierce on this one.

Garnett was playing some awesome D in the end, so I expect this one to be close.

37 points, 9R, 4A, great D, clutch shots. Enough said. THE TRUTH. Nobody comes close, although I loved KG's superhuman, superathletic blocks.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

I was watching from a raps perspective for this particular game and i gotta say it was KG hands down. Completely and totally took us out of our offense by making bosh think this is a horror film.

Yeah I am expecting a thread about how the league has to step in and stop KG from harassing 6'11" All Star Forwards.

Scal actually looked like a basketball player tonight but the Captain snatched this one from the jaws of the dinosaur tonight.

But I will say this about Toronto, which actually must make the whole Bargnani thing hurt more, is that if they get a good low post presence they are going to be a beast to handle.

"But I will say this about Toronto, which actually must make the whole Bargnani thing hurt more, is that if they get a good swingman they are going to be a beast to handle."

Fixed. :D

By they way. Any chance Paul Pierce might be available?

No chance.

Any chance Moon is available?

It was defintiely PP with the award. However, I have to say that this was the best game I have ever watched Bargs play. He looked like a stud out there. I thought he played well in all facets of the game including defense.

Good game, TERRIBLE reffing on both sides. Once again, Tommy is ridiculous with his commentating, but that's just another story.You should really tell Mr. Heinsohn your sorry. Overall, one of the best of the season; in the end, PP just wanted it more. That's why he's better than Bosh.

But what the heck was up with the dunk at the end? Uncalled for, in my opinion.
You either retire a champion, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Raptor.

Yeah that playing it out to the buzzer in an overtime game that was tied on a last second shot is almost as lame as calling a time out with one second left. I will give you coach a pass because he is a rookie but frankly he represents a lot of what we see from your fanbase. These overemotional petty responses to cover up the fact that you lose a game get really old. Your team just drilled a 3 they weren't quiting even if your coach was.

I can't help but wonder if the Toronto fanbase would make such a big stink about the dunk if it weren't for Chuck Swirsky spending an entire day whining about Gerald Green on his morning show a few years ago. People that make a big deal out of that really need to get some new hobbies, to put it mildly.
