Garnett is the most consistent player on the court at all times. Its rare for him NOT to have a huge game. So if Sam Cassel dropped 40 tonight in game 6, and Garnett drops 25...but gets 15 rebounds, does that make him less clutch?? No.
your associating points with clutch, not taking into account rebounding, defense. Think about how many times Garnett fills the lane and forces other players on the floor to take shitty shots. Thats not clutch??

Dawg, if you weren't an eclipse owner I'd wanna slap the fuck out of you for that response.
What I'm saying is, if you're an athlete, and play ANY SPORT, when it comes down to crunch time, you know you have to step it up. It doesn't matter if you're playing 100% all game long or 150%, every great player will step it up still. I'm saying Kobe. Last night, he plays his heart out all game. But don't even THINK About telling me that Kobe plays the same level in the first half then when there is less than 2 mins left and it's a close game. There is no comparision. Same with Michael Jordan, same with Lebron James, etc. the point the article was making was, Garnett doesn't seem to be one of those players that tries to step it up.
and it's true, Garnett looks lost when he has the ball late in a clutch situation. Whether it's from inexperience in pressure moments, or whatever it is, who knows. But he doesn't seem to shine in pressure situations.
your arguement about boards and altering shots is pointless. Because I haven't seen him step it up either in that. I've watched every Celtics game this play-offs (rooting for them to lose ~_~) and in EVERY close game, I have yet to see Garnett Step up and take over the game in the closing minutes. It's either Pierce or Allen, or sometimes PJ Brown LOL, but i haven't seen Garnett do anything.
Prove me wrong. You're stating things he
COULD do. show me stats, or show me instances where he
DID do those things.
