Most people say that he moved to center because he COULDN'T play PF anymore, wasn't quick enough anymore. Not because Boston NEEDED him to move to center.
I assume you think that's BS, lol, because that's DEFINITELY what I think of that train of thought
That's utter nonsense.
It's more effective to have KG play C defensively than it is for him to play PF. There are more stretch 4s in the game and if KG is out on the wing guarding some of those guys, it limits his ability to be a consistent anchor for the BOS defense.
They had no one good enough offensively or defensively to warrant keeping KG at the PF position. Might as well move him to C especially with the lack of skilled Cs we have in today's game.
His minutes restriction started when he played C. It's taxing on the body.
They didn't even play any stretch fours. They played Bass/Sullimger next to him. So, whats the difference if KG plays PF?
The only teams with dedication to small ball is NY and Miami. Which has shown not to be so great come playoff time since the Pacers exploited both teams, I don't see why it's an issue to stay big.
You do realize that I was agreeing with rb3, right?
I enlarged the part about other people and spoke to the fact that the other people were/are wrong, not rb3.
