Does Garnett score anymore?

fsugolf · 03-07-10, 08:32 PM

he left his turnaround jumper in 2008

Tree Rollins · 03-07-10, 08:41 PM

His knee is shot. He'll never be the same.

Just a couple years ago he was pulling down 13 or so boards a game, now, barely 10.

stealthyburrito · 03-07-10, 08:47 PM

its a shame, it seems the oldness of the celts roster has eroded garnett's youth right before our eyes

KingKolzig · 03-07-10, 08:47 PM

yeah im from Boston and watch the celts a lot. he is 75% of what he was just 2 years ago. he is now the new Robert Parish and he knows it.

bettilimbroke999 · 03-07-10, 10:35 PM

The Nets at home, now whatever's left of the Wizards at home, talk about Boston losing its position among dominant teams, seems like 2008 they were unstoppable now they cant beat the worst the league has to offer, quick drop

KingKolzig · 03-07-10, 10:37 PM

yes no kidding. i saw celtics "no" to winning the NBA title at -600 just like 10 days ago. if i had the bankroll to take a high priced bet like that i would have been so so so so so all over it

rm18 · 03-07-10, 10:39 PM

he came into the league in 1995 he is damn near the only guy left even in the NBA, what do you expect

ya but as a fan it feels like i just got dumped......happened so suddenly

Sometimes hard to tell how much is age and how much is injury, Duncan is the same age and is playing better this season.

KingKolzig · 03-07-10, 11:35 PM

yeah no kidding, maybe a combo as old guys dont heal so well. overall it definitely worked bringin the big 3 here, classy team. good guys...........but its over, media just doesnt want to say it in case of a miracle run, which wont be happening

rm18 · 03-07-10, 11:40 PM

They are a longshot, but they do not need the big 3 to play to their previous level to win it all because the supporting cast is much stronger.

Tree Rollins · 03-07-10, 11:52 PM

celtics won't be an easy out. that's for sure. NBA playoffs are great. You have the best players in the world, and they're actually trying.

Rich Boy · 03-08-10, 12:09 AM

They barely got past a young Chicago team last year, they will be a 1st or 2nd round exit.

KingKolzig · 03-08-10, 12:12 AM

totally agree, i think this would be a fair line for celtice total playoff series wins:

Under 1.5 series -180
Over 1.5 series +150

Kevin Garnett didn't play in the playoffs last year.

Rich Boy · 03-08-10, 12:34 AM

They are worse this year...

bettilimbroke999 · 03-08-10, 01:42 AM

Will be a quick exit for Boston in the playoffs, will make it through 1st round (probably) then get 3-1 or 4-0 out the 2nd rd, this team just cant compete with the elite teams with Garnett playin like shit, the injuries and age have destroyed him and without his rebounding, defense and offensive presence they wont have a prayer against Clev, Orlando, Atlanta hell even Miami would prolly pwn Boston right now, as Garnett goes so go the Celtics

chrisharvard01 · 03-08-10, 01:45 AM

I think rich boy has it right.

they are worse, even with KG. He is not the KG sportscenter wants him to be-- and he certainly isn't the KG real f_ucking cash money needs him to be.

GARNETT is trash now. He can't shoot and he can barely rebound. To say he is 75% is generous. The guy is gone... and so are the CELTICS.

Rich Boy · 03-08-10, 10:52 PM

Its not that big a deal, guys get old, they dont perform as well...

Thats how this business works.

tltaylor89 · 03-08-10, 11:06 PM

Atleast he wont turn out like AI

ZetaPsi808 · 03-08-10, 11:10 PM

he is too unselfish to be the "guy"

bettilimbroke999 · 03-10-10, 09:30 PM

If you can get Boston NOT to win the championship you have a lock, they are absolutely done

jjgold · 03-10-10, 09:34 PM

Boston looks like they are done, too old

5dimes had it a few weeks back at Boston "no" -600, then it quickly went up to -865..........not sure about it now

bettilimbroke999 · 03-10-10, 09:43 PM

You can get 1300 down at matchy at -1300, I would do it but fuk cant get but about a 1000 in matchy and dont feel like waiting 2 months to win 80 bucks, memphis is going to beat them by 20 in boston and is scoring like they are playing a middle school team, nets destroyed them in boston, whatever 5 players the wizards apparently have left after trading and jailing all their talent should've beat them had they not choked it off and Allen buried 5 3's in a row and jumped up and down excited about beating a team that should be in the D league

Yi · 03-10-10, 11:53 PM

It's kind of sad to see Garnett play in this condition.
