That's just an ignorant statement. If you think KG isn't a mismatch on offense you know nothing about basketball.
Ok, I admit it. I was just hating with that statement.

Ray Allen couldn't guard Joe Johnson. We couldn't put Posey in because we needed Ray for offense. We couldn't switch Pierce onto Joe because then Ray would have to guard another mismatch. Pierce will not stop LeBron but he will be do a damn good job(hopefully). Everyone else just needs to stay a little bit in front of their man. The Cavs shooter need a lot of room to be effective. On the flip side who's gonna guard KG? Ray?Even Rondo is gonna have an advantage IMO.

Personally I think KG is an advantage against all of Cleveland's big men. I don't view LeBron as a great defender. I still think Pierce can get his. Rondo however can definitely raise his level of play. No one is quick enough to keep up with him. Cleveland also doesn't have great athletic shot blockers like Atlanta so Rondo can use his speed to full advantage.AgEnT50 wrote:-= original quote snipped =-
True....but K.G. isnt' going to drop 30 a game...nor is Rondo They'll throw Big Z, Big Ben & Side Show BoB at K.G. Lebron will match up with Pierce. . ..Ray (could) have a big series because they dont have anyone that can truly guard him. But ive noticed the Celts struggle with dribble penetration...and Lebron excells at that
Well actually I was talking about PF's. Bird is a SF. IF he was a PF he'd be #1 by far.Biff wrote:I completely forgot about Larry Bird. I'd take Bird over Garnett. It would actually be a hard choice to pick Bird or Malone. Duncan is so solid defensively that you can't really pick anyone but him for number 1.

Is there any question about this foul warranting an ejection?
