Kevin Garnett is being criticized for breaking down the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. I'm not so sure. I watched the game and felt that KG played intelligent enough. I do, however, feel that the Celtics have a tough time closing on the road, and Paul Pierce doesn't have what it takes to help them do it. KG is nice, but not nearly as dominant as he once was, and Ray Allen is a relative has-been.
Here is what a Fox Sports dude had to say about the game:
LOS ANGELES - The Celtics had a chance to put the Lakers down in a place from which no team has ever recovered: a 3-0 disadvantage in the Finals. And they blew it. Simple as that.
2008 NBA Finals
Once again, the Celtics out-rebounded the Lakers. And on yet another night, Boston proved a tougher, more physical team than Los Angeles. But smarter?
No. Definitely not.
In the postgame interview room, Phil Jackson referred to his eternally undiscouraged shooter, Sasha Vujacic (7 of 10, 20 points) as "a rockhead." Actually, with Tuesday night now in evidence, the term seems more apropos in describing the Celtics, starting with their best, most talented and fiercest player.

KG's mistake was double teaming Kobe at mid-court when the Lakers had a two point lead. Even though Pierce and KG stunk it up, they still could have won the game. Lakers just did a Spurs and tried to show they at least will not get swept. You could tell on Jack's eyes that they knew they almost were done.
Well, they can't win every game! The Lakers are too good. But truth be told, they need another brother or two, since white boys can't win championships!
