nobody is denying that it's a team effort, but when is it ever not? shaq had kobe, glen rice, horry, fisher. jordan had pippen and others. duncan had robinson, elliott, elie, kerr, ginobili, parker, etc. of course dirk had help like every one else who's ever won one. that in no way takes away from what he did last year.

but to answer your question, it was so bad rick and dirk both got t'ed up early on. i played ball my whole life so i know a bad call when i see one, and its easy for me to pick up on momentum changing calls and the like. the thunder got a big lead early on with a boost from the zebras and never relenquished. we aren't good enough to overcome something like that. maybe last year, but not this year. i kid you not, westbrook was going up for a fastbreak layup all alone and flopped. md thought it was a foul at first and i said no it wasn't check it out and when the replay showed no contact whatsoever the place erupted in boos. there were like 25 calls throughout the night that ranged from questionable to just downright unfair.

tbh Dirk just isn't stepping up like he did last season.

Last year vs the Thunder he had that ridiculous game 1, carried his team to an amazing game 4 comeback, and made some clutch shots in game 5 to close it out. He just couldn't repeat that kind of performance this season.

There were a lot of close games we won in last year's playoffs. In games 1 and 2, OKC just made the plays down the stretch

I'll co-sign. For last year he was a BOSS. i think he was a bit underrated after the Heat/G-state collapse, fair or not. and then people went overboard last year. Dirk is a great player but he still has his limitations ...people were putting him over KG and Larry Bird (shooting) that was ridiculous. His year was not a fluke but to expect him to shoot like last year (best i have ever seen over a full season plus playoffs) is unrealistic.

Dirk also has OWNED KG in head to head matchups. Dirk being able to take over games consistently in the playoffs puts him over KG.

I dont think anyone is saying KG is better than Duncan. Also anyone who actually questions whether KG was the best Celtic in 08' is retarded. Again the nigga won DPOY, was 3rd in MVP voting, 1st-Team All-NBA & All-Defense, led the team in scoring in regular season, trailed Pierce by less than a point in post-season. Pierce may have been the captain, closer, and most beloved Celtic but KG was clearly the best player.

Regarding his 'playoff failures', how can you even call them that? His teams were always expected to lose, the TWolves were perennial 8 seeds who only got into the playoffs because of KG. Before Spree&Cassell the best players he ever had alongside were probably Terell Brandon, Troy Hudson, and Wally Sczerbiak lol.The one year he actually did have help he led his team to the 1st seed and a WCF trip.


Where can you quote me on record that I said Pierce was the clear-cut guy on the Celtics?


You are just doing anything to put down Dirk. No, Garnett is not better than Nowitzki. KG never had to carry an entire team to the title on his shoulders like Dirk Diggler did, plus he never had the consistency of Dirk's seasons.


Youre saying KG wasnt the clear-cut guy which is just as retarded.

The dude only put up 20-10-5 for most of the past decade all while being a Top 3 defender in the league the entire 2000s...yet he never had the consistency of Dirks seasons? :lmao

Youre confusing teams with players. The TWolves werent as consistent as the Mavs, but than again the Mavs never had Troy Hudson or Wally Sczerbiak as their 2nd best players. The early-mid 2000s PF position was dominated by TD, KG, and Webber. Dirk was second-tier. Anybody whos worth a shit knows that.

05-05-2012, 10:09 AM
KG should never be rated higher than Dirk.

I think it's a tough call. I think Garnett peaked in the mid 2000s when he had those shitty Minnesota teams around him. If the Mavs and T-Wolves had swapped Garnett for Nowitzki back then (with Nash, Finley, etc.), I think Garnett could have carried that team to a title or two, because he could have run with that team's offense like Dirk, but also been a defensive anchor.

KG had a lot of miles on him by the time he got to Boston, though. Meanwhile, Dirk kept getting better. So I guess Dirk wins by virtue of being the clear main guy on a title team while Garnett never was, but I think it's close.

blah blah blah
05-05-2012, 12:03 PM
I would say Dirk over KG but it's definitely close.

Dirk clearcut leading two teams to the Finals, winning one, cements it for me. Sure KG was a more complete player but so was Rasheed Wallace, Chris Webber, James Worthy, Pau Gasol, and Chris Bosh off the top of my head. You'll never see any of those guys ranked ahead of Dirk

Saying that KG wasn't the man in those Celtics teams is a pretty retarded opinion.
They were a game away from the ECF the year Garnett was injured. They didn't lose in the first round. Regardless, I agree that he was the MVP of the 2008 team. He transformed them into the best defensive team in the NBA and he led them in scoring in the playoffs that year. The difference between the 2008 Celtics and 2011 Mavs is that the Mavs were sure as fuck not a team that would be a game away from the conference finals without Dirk. I don't think it's close between prime Dirk and Boston KG (i.e. the KG who scored mostly off wide open shots created by someone else). Prime Dirk vs. Prime KG is a lot closer and can be debated to no end.

They didn't. They lost in the second round. You still don't get the point. If either of them gets injured, they were not going to win a championship.

Yeah, I don't know why I thought they lost in the first round. Probably because it was a pretty hard series against the Bulls. And I agree that the Celtcis wouldn't have won the 'ship without Pierce either but the same could be said about the Mavs without Chandler.

Completely different comparisons, imo. None of those players are arguably the best defensive PF of all-time like KG is. None of them put up 20-10-5 for the better part of the past decade. I say its clearly KG>Dirk because the nigga was simply a beast, for most of the past decade the only player that was anywhere near Duncan was KG...Dirk was always viewed as a second-tier PF up until last year. Thats not just my opinion and me being a hater, that was the consensus. Winning it all doesnt magically bump him over KG, especially since KG already has a ring as the best player on the team himself.

Completely different comparisons, imo. None of those players are arguably the best defensive PF of all-time like KG is. None of them put up 20-10-5 for the better part of the past decade. I say its clearly KG>Dirk because the nigga was simply a beast, for most of the past decade the only player that was anywhere near Duncan was KG...Dirk was always viewed as a second-tier PF up until last year. Thats not just my opinion and me being a hater, that was the consensus. Winning it all doesnt magically bump him over KG, especially since KG already has a ring as the best player on the team himself.

I think it's a stretch to say that he won an MVP award while the "consensus" was that he was a second-tier player.

:lol not that I really care who was better KG or Dirk (like DoK said, Prime KG or Prime Dirk could be argued for years) but it's hilarious the lengths of retard you'll stoop yourself down to in order to put down Dirk

:lol Dirk viewed as a 2nd tier PF until he won a title

:lol making 4 All NBA first teams before last season

For the better part of the decade he was. He had the 06' and 07' seasons but other than that he wasnt in Duncans or KGs class until they got older and declined tbh. Shit even Webber was better than Dirk in the early-mid 00s. The funny thing is both you and DoK have said KG>Dirk in other threads having this same argument.

I do think prime KG>prime Dirk. I also think Dirk was a first tier PF as evidenced by his 4 first team all NBA appearances

Second tier relative to TD and KG (and Webber in the early-mid 00s). Similar to Kobe, Wade and than guys like Manu in the second tier or how at one point it was Paul and Deron and than a bunch of solid PGs a tier below. Nothing wrong with that and doesnt mean Dirk wasnt very good those years. :toast

What do you mean by "second tier"?

If you're defining it by arguing that Dirk was never the best PF in the game at any point in his career, then you have a sound argument.

If you think he was never one of the elite PF's in the game at any point in his career then i think you're intentionally being retarded.

Yall get too defensive tbh, you guys have a persecution complex that Im out to hate on Dirk or something. :lol

Obviously I think he was atleast a Top 5 PF in the league throughout pretty much all of his career. Top 3 for alot of years too. Im simply saying he wasnt in the same class as TD or KG. Similar to Paul/Deron being in a class of their own then a couple of very good, all-star, all-nba caliber players below them. Dont see how thats considered hating.

Fair enough.

although imho Dirk surpassed Duncan and was the best PF in the game from 08-11. again doesn't really matter though because it's just a matter of opinion and we could argue until our dicks turn purple. I don't really wanna do that
