I'd sit KG til the 2nd round....

Nope, I want him back. I want them all back. Scal too. We need to get our defense back to championship level for the later rounds of the playoffs. Nothing would be better then an easy sweep of Philly where the starters all play around 30 minutes.

I agree with DorfonCeltics.....get them up to snuff.

True..what's with all the Atlanta comparisons? Atlanta was 3000000 better than this Philly team, in just about every position. They were wayyyyyyyyyyy deeper than this Philly team, and had better inside presence. Philly has 1 great player in Iggy, and 2 good players in Miller and Young. Yet the dropoff the rest of the team has, compared to those 3 is just ridiculous..they pretty much SUCK...I mean Lou is ok, but he won't do anything in the playoffs..

I would never sleep on a playoff team and would much rather have Garnett out there. Sleeping on the 6ers or any team will bite you in the ass.

If KG can go I want him to play. This is the play-offs and nothing is going to be given to us. We have to go out and take it.

my belief is that KG only has so many games in his tank and that we have to use those games judiciously. That may mean he plays game one but not game two etc. He's going to be rusty no matter what and in a normal coming back from injury situation you'd want to increase his minutes each game until he was at full speed. I don't believe that's the situation here. Instead, I think that Garnett will be hurting from his first game back until the last game he plays and that the more he plays the worse it will hurt. That's why we have to use him sparingly. I don't like doom and gloom but honestly I haven't seen or heard one thing since KG went down that leads me to believe he will be heatlhy during the playoffs. BTW I was at the game last night and watched Leon Powe and he has definitely been slowed down by his injury. He didn't as fast or move as well as before and his hops were not there for rebounds and blocks. Hope I'm wrong but I'm not overly optimistic about what Leon is going to give us in the playoffs
