    First of all, I've been lurking around the past few weeks and decided to join you guys. You're a great bunch.

    Second of all, I'm an admin on another forum (it's a soccer forum) and of course I opened a Playoff thread there. The whole thing started off with me saying that no one cared about the Heat before Wade and Shaq arrived and that. My friend said that the Heat have been great for some time now and that Duncan wasn't the best because he didn't perform well at the 2004 Olympics and then compared his failure to win gold to Robert Baggio's penalty miss during World Cup 1994. Then he said that Garnett was better than Duncan because he had a better Olympic performance.

    Just wanted to see what you guys thought of it...

    Well Carlos Arroyo had a pretty good showing in the Olympics, so I guess he's better than Allen Iverson.

    Rings.

    Welcome.

    Zo and Riley initially put Miami on the map, but Wade is the main force behind the new hype. Shaq certainly doesn't hurt.

    As for the Olympic comparisons, it was easier for the Dream Teams of the past. I would agree that Garnett is a better FIBA player than Duncan, but there's no way in I'd trade Duncan for KG on the Spurs.

    You see this is what I've been trying to get through to him. The fact that Tim is constantly up for the MVP and on the All-NBA teams speaks volumes about the type of consistent player he is.

    tell those morons, the team built around duncan fo rthe athens game was to sell shirts, and if you look at the team, all misfitz and wrong players asembled, most of the guyz were slashers, non had jumpshots. Lookn at the tourney did any of you guyz actually think duncan wouldve done better, since it was usually 5 on 1 when he touched the ball down low, wattabout the different rules allowin 5 players to camp in the lane.

    lookn at the performance do u actually think jefferson was worth max when he sign durin the olympics? NO.

    Duncan was a of a lot better than KG in the 2004 Olympics.

    That pussy didn't even show up after giving his word that he would.

    Well, both of you are wrong.

    The Heat didn't become significant until Zo and Hardaway were around and their battles with the Knicks. Wade/Shaq have all the attention, but they have just as many rings as Zo/Hardaway in Miami.

    As far as KG being better than Duncan...well, that tells you how much he knows about basketball. None.

    How much can somebody know about sports that is willing to sit there for 90 minutes to watch a game end in a 0-0 tie?

    Ah. Gotcha. Actually, it's theoretically possible, but I think if an NFL game ever ends in a 0-0 tie both teams will be automatically contracted.

    makedamnsure,

    While reffing is never going to be perfect, at times bad reffing greatly affects an outcome. Such was Duncans treatment by the FIBA refs. You can rest assured of that.

    I am assuming you are not the poster "mouse". He likes to appear in drag.

    Duncan is on the downside of his career on the offensive end. Everybody talks about the injury, but I saw Sean Elliott put up huge numbers and play lock down defense with one kidney. Allen Iverson is always hurt, and so are other players.

    How many Rings for KG have?

    None?

    It's about Team ball not blowing out your body in regular season. Saving it for playoffs when the other guy.. LIKE KG is normally FISHING when Timmy is giving the playoff clinic.


    Garnett is like a buger flipper and Timmy is the burger chain manager... if you had a performance scale.

    first of all if duncan was on this horrible team that KG has then they still wouldnt make the playoffs. so dont give me that crap about him leading his team to the playoffs. duncan is a great player and leader but its not kevins fault that his players dont play hard every night! there second best player is ing ricky davis! how the do you expect anyone to get to the playoffs with that . in the west i might add.

    Duncan and Wally + scrubs would've made the playoffs easy.

    Inside-Out works when you have something inside.

    Wow please stop typing. Do you honestly believe Kevin Garnett is a better player than Duncan? I'm not talking 1 on 1 or streetball skills here either. Do you honestly think he's a better team player?
