The Death Star has exploded

Guy knows how to foul. Good for him and brewer and the rest of the Mavs.

is thank god we fired Dwayne Casey after only 40 games. A solid .500 record with an inferior team?! NOT IN THIS STATE. Randy Wittman was able to salvage that season, fortunately. Creative defenses? Solid offense? THAT ISN’T THE TWOLVES WAY!

both have one MVP and one ring. Maybe Dirk got the finals MVP and KG didn’t (Pierce got it, didn’t he?), but that is relatively small potatoes in the long run. How many defensive MVPs do KG and Dirk each have?

Dirk IS and will be regarded as a better player, individually and team wise. He also has gained and deserves more respect from his peers than Garnett ever has or will. Lebron resembles KG in this area. Both are pretty emotionally immature…KG with his expletives as he runs down the court, Lebron’s with his tendency to pout when things aren’t as easy as he expects them to be. KG in many situations, gave up the ball, instead of driving or hitting wide opne jumpers. We just witnessed…“The Witness”..The King himself fail in epic proportions. Dirk has overcome alot, accusations that he is a choke artist..
.KG is was a very good player, on a loaded team in Boston. The C’s one a championship wtih him…not primarily because of him. He had awesome and bloated stats in Minny, because we had alot of role players, and a few minor superstars for a short time. KG would have never had the stats, or the applause if he played with another championship level team.
Dirk..entirley different acheiver…he drives to the hoop, is a great perimeter shooter..and players on his team, and around the league respect him KG even while in Minny, had issues with players..a well known fact, that the man is an emotional prima donna at times, unpredictable, a pouter, an incessant trash talker….lughable at times to watch him chest thump and "F bomb..himself.

Both KG and Lebron, really don’t handle adversity well….they never had to compete for a Big Ten Championship, fight their way through an NCAA Tourney. Both were “The Man” in High School..and especailly Lebron….I get the feeling from the time “The Decision” was anounced until Game Four..almost assumed the Title was his, and when he faced adversity…he completely crumbled.

KG granted, never faced the scrutiny here in Minnesota…we were to soft on his lack of demanding the ball, he never commanded the kind of attention in the playoffs….and until Sprewell, and Cassell got here. Before and after their West COnf Champ. run…he never caused or gave concern to another team that KG was going to take over a series…and the players that played with him KNEW that about him…

is also ring-less.

thanks for screwing us over again.

to win SIX titles

They have no soul to search for.

That’s if Riley isn’t forced to blow it up. We jsut witnessed something a few only dared mutter about..The King. When it comes to clutch time…he retreats. Watching him in their four losses..words can’t describe how utterly clueless, and indifferent he seemed. We already knew he doesn’t move well on the floor without the ball. Did you see him really willing to, or could he be trusted in a pick and roll situation. He passes the ball..RAPIDLY out of his hands when he normailly would drive, or hit an open jumper. In a epic fashion, he repeeatedly and almost completely looked like a very average role player. A role player that a team was counting on, because they thought he could overcome and overachieve.

The diference…He is paid, or marketed or on the floor to be a role player. He is The King…just ask him!…I laughed when he commented about the fact he had a Triple Double the other night. You had some stats….not a dominating performance that caused the Mavs to fear his presence. He folded offensively, defensively…because emotionally, he isn’t mature enough as a player or person to lead and demand performance by his leadership example.

anyways, congrats Mavs!

Obviously, discounting efficiency/toughness/leadership/rebounding.

the Kantersnatch!

Not a great person or a great teammate I guess.
