Boston took 38 free throw attempts compared to the Lakers 10 last night. 38-10, you have got to be kidding me? There is no way a game should be that unbalanced especially when people talk about Boston's great defense that plays physical and all that othet stuff that the Boston D gets praised for. I already know that Boston fans will say the officiating was fine, but you can not convince me that a team is able to play tough physical defense without committing a foul? It just doesn't add up. Honestly, besides the technical free throw the Lakers get one free throw attempt in the first half???? WOW. Lean Powe got more free throw attempts that the Lakers!!!!!!
Big players make big plays in big games. Kevin Garnett shrinks and dissappears constantly in the 4th quarter of games and he did it again las night in game 1 of the Finals. As KG went to the line in the first quarter the crowd began chanting "MVP." Why? The guy is an amazing player for the first three quarters. Last night he hit one field goal in the fourth quarter and had a stretch where he missed 10 of 11 from the field. Yes, it is just one game but Kevin Garnett is always invisible in the fourth quarter box score.
The other thing that bothers me about Garnett are all the fadeways and the jumpshots. KG, you are 6' 11. GO INSIDE!!!!!!!! Someone that has that kind of size has no business pretending that they are a guard. Garnett needs to learn to attack the rim and score some points in the paint. Among forwards in the NBA, Garnett ranked 45th in field goal percentage this year. Why? because he shoots to many jumpshots and does not command the paint the way centers and power forwards are supposed to.
KG, you are 6'11 not 5'11 let Ray Allen and Paul Pierce shoot the jumpers.
