KG isnt selfish, if anything he is unselfish. To say that hes selfish because he doesnt play in the paint is absurd. For all we know KG might feel that his post game sucks. He might feel that his ability to drive the ball isnt that strong. Ever notice that he travels alot when he tries to drive by his defender? I would venture to guess that KG possibly leads the league in traveling violations.

The guy that is saying KG is selfish is assuming that the reason KG settles for fadeaways and jumpshots is because he likes them more than dunking and posting up. Instead, it could be because hes afraid to try and drive and end up traveling or forcing up a bad shot. How about in the 3rd quarter when he hucked up that awful layup/floater thing from behind the backboard that ended up hitting nothing? He was trying to drive on that play and he obviously didnt dominate with that performance.

KG isnt selfish, he just doesnt play the way people assume he can. To start assuming that we also know his reasons for playing the way he does is just idiotic (unless he has said it himself that he prefers taking jumpshots and fadeaways even though he knows he could dominate in the paint).

Hey, man, what happened to your sig. You know Kobe's Finals numbers this year? You got rid of it pretty quickly after his numbers went up. Funny guy.

I don't know much about the last one mentioned, but I think we know how things work regarding the first 2. I wouldn't worry too much, mate, it's been the pretty much same the entire season and the Playoffs.

They're collectively channeling their energy through obinna instead of directly posting.

Ain't no style points in the NBA, bro. It's W or L. There are still two more games in L.A.; it's the Celts that need to do the soul-searching right now.

How was the Kobe guarding Pierce the difference?

He only guarded him in the 4th quarter. Paul Pierce was already 1-10 when Kobe started guarding him.

Furthermore, Paul Pierce didn't help himself for settling for jumpshots.

If Doc Rivers can settle on a rotation the Celtics will be in good shape.

Sam Cassell should never play again.
PJ Brown plays too much and he fouls sooo much.
Leon Powe for some reason got buried on the bench.
Eddie House needs to play alot more, Derrick Fisher won't put any pressure on the ball.

I guess. I don't think I've said anything remotely crazy. Even if you believe I have it's not like I'm not bringing evidence into the equation.

I'm glad to boost RealGMs traffic ranking.
