KG expectations

[atxrocker]

he'll get his numbers and the trio will be fun to watch, but he's not a winner and will continue to prove he is overrated while his skills deminish.

It's put up or shut up time for Garnett. Everyone whines that KG has never had talent around him. Now he has the talent. He's in a large market. He's in a weak conference. He has everything that a player could want or need to win a championship.

If he suffers another typical KG flame out, he's going to go down as very good player instead of a great player. His 12 years or whatever it was in Minnesota amounted to basically nothing. Now he has everything served to him on a silver platter. We'll see if he's able to up his game and at least lead his team to the second round.

This is more or less how the records will break down in the East:

01 Chicago
02 Boston
03 Cleveland
04 Detroit
05 Toronto
06 Orlando
07 Washington
08 Miami
09 Milwaukee
10 New Jersey
11 New York
12 Philadelphia
13 Indiana
14 Atlanta
15 Charlotte

...and only Chicago, Boston, or Cleveland can win the conference.

charlotte up higher..indiana down lower

It was pretty much put up or shut up time for you also. So all it takes is for him to make it to the second round for him to earn your respect. Or don't you want to say anything that can be looked back upon?


Everything a player needs or wants to win a championship? You need to STFU when it comes playoff time and your crowing about the Spurs bench, or coaching against the suns or mavs.

I got traded?

I respect KG. Never said I didn't. But he at least needs to make it to the second round to preserve his legacy.

I know you want to compare him with Duncan but he's going to have to do a whole of a lot to reach Duncan's level. Duncan is a four time champion. KG has made it past the first round round once.

Or don't you want to say anything that can be looked back upon?

The Celtics led by KG won't win a championship. Mark that down.

Yeah. What is he missing this time?

Huh? Not sure what you are talking about.

It is quite possible that Indiana will finish dead last. I think I want to puke.

Pretty straightforward. At what point does KG earn your respect, at what point does he make you realize he's a better player than you give him credit for? Because even though you say so, you obviosly DON'T respect him given some of your comments.

You talk about the second round, somewhat sarcastically i take it. You talk about him winning a championship and in the same breath say that's not good enough. Then AGAIN in the same breath say he won't. Can't you just put your money where your ass is and say exactly how far you expect him to go? Lemmie guess, even if he would manage to win it all, your going to say "well, he should have, he has everything he needs to win a championsh..............." Oh wait, you already did that. LOL Kinda like the barfly's armwrestling and there's always the pussy that says there tired or there shoulder hurts before.

Can't you figure out the put up or shut up comment?

"my expectations of the Boston Celtics are.............."


Complete that statement. Anything beyond that is exceding your expectations.
