and i understand that this series would probably be a totally different story if Boston had KG but to be honest our lineup is not anywhere close to what it was when we played the Celtics with KG... their lineup would be exactly the same (just the addition of KG) while instead of our lineup having aaron gray, drew gooden and luol deng STARTING (like we did against them with KG), it would have salmons, noah, tyrus (with both brad miller and hinrich playing near starting minutes)

still u might say that KG would be the deciding factor but even with that inferior lineup KG only 17 points and 1 rebound and another game with 18 points and 10 rebounds... thats really not better than what davis and perkins have been doing... and perkins has done very well defensively too (7 blocks a game ago with no fouls).... and yes they won those games handedly but i argue that its mainly because our lineup was ALOT worse than it is now (especially since key contributors like noah and tyrus were not Nearly as involved, hinrich was out injured, and miller and salmons didnt exist)

maybe im wrong... maybe garnett wouldve wiped the floor and made us wipe his ass, but i think theres a good chance that all of these games would have been just as close... possibly the celtics take it in 5 (or we take it in 5) but i say those games are still won by 2-3 points... and with the game on the line, KG wouldntve have been the one given the ball to win it
