Eh, I know you're point and I have tons of respect for that dude, but from what I remember, those stats were bogus. He got his numbers, but had zero effect on the game itself. Hard to explain, but I just remember there were stretches where he would do absolutely nothing while teams would run all over them. T-Mac's playoff numbers are good, and he ain't do sh*^. KG would go multiple possesions without even touching the ball. Maybe he had like two huge games in the series, and then 4 or 5 kinda quiet ones. I dunno.
No I hear you. But hey the biggest win in Wolves franchise history was Game 7 in the series against the Kings (a win Timberwolves fans on NT knowtoo well). Garnett went off for 32 points and 21 boards and won that game in the 4th quarter.
Anyway this all is a separate argument sorta from the topic. But he had an effect, I watched every game since '97. The teams he played against were justbetter. Wolves were a 7th seed, 7th seed, 8th seed, 6th seed, 8th seed, 5th seed and 4th seed the years they lost in the playoffs before Sam and Spree came onboard. They ran into a lot of teams that were simply better. We can rip KG for not having a better regular season then, but as I said its a tad far fetched foranyone to say he had fake performances on the stage. The other players on his team clanking shots (thank you Flip Saunders jump shooting offense) were the mostpathetic part. Garnett is far from perfect though obviously no doubt.
