i like duncan, and he's the best PF i've seen.

however, bruce bowen, alone, makes me wish the spurs lose.

thanks for the article, and i agree 100%.

i've always thought that KG isn't the go-to guy the celtics need. even during his only meaningful run in the playoffs in 2004, cassell and hudson were the guys making the big shots.

the article is right that if the celtics are going to win the title, paul pierce is the one that's going to have to be clutch in the final moments. KG, being the consummate team player he is, can do nearly everything for the first 47 minutes. but during the last minute, pierce is going to need to lead them.

during the 2004 playoffs when minnesota lost to LA, i remember telling my friends that it seems like KG's intensity is so high during the game that it's almost as if he does black out when the pressure gets to him.

not to disrespect KG as a player, though, because he is one of the best players of this generation and possibly a top 5-10 PF of all time when he's through. but he just doesn't have "it".

as i've said, it's interesting that webber always got heat for it, but KG seemed to get a pass.

eh, just a thought i think the bulls should trade the # 1 for melo. They need to realize this and take advantage of Denver's shortsighted approach and snab Melo. That would guarantee the Bulls would be able to make noise in the playoffs for years to come and would immediately make them a contender in the Eastern Conference. I think Melo on a good Bulls squad could get a championship.

Thread started. Now if the Bulls trade away their pick to choose a dud I'm going to be cheering for the Pistons from now on. Honest.
