Jason Whitlock Does Not Like KG

BS. Complete BS statement.

Let’s take KG off the team and insert take pretty much any other PF in the league in there and let’s see if we’re even at this point now.

Not his best series to this point but there’s still time to step up and he’s still played defense and rebounded better than pretty much anyone in the series.

I may be the guy on this site who is hardest on KG.Name calling and the whole bit. But this article is WAAAAYYYYY over the top. The problem is that KG is great but could be greater and maybe the greatest ever. It’s also unfortunate PP doesn’t get the kudo’s that KG does but that isn’t KG’s fault.

 KG is a superstar that wants to be a big part of a great team. He doesn’t want to take over. And he seems to, too often, not know what the right basektball play is for him to make. His total selflessness on the court is his greatest weakness. Period.

Who, may I ask, is Jason Whitlock and who does he write for?

No one on the planet realizes that KG missed those free throws more than KG. This has been one long, long season and no one looks more gassed than KG. Hell, I’m gassed! And no one draws in the emotional lift from the Garden crowd more than him.

Gasol was backing KG down too much. Once he’s in there not even KG is long enough especially with foul trouble. Gasol is long but I remember Big Baby putting some good mins in on Shaq, spreading those tree trunk legs and not giving ground. C’mon Doc you found Tony down that bench. How about BBD?

Rondo doesn’t look hurt but he was MIA and we need his D, and ol Perk was missed down low. Pierce was beyond belief and Posey again was money.

But the game was there to be had and it did come down to KG not having a finishing kick. Plus a couple of his tips just didn’t fall.

I’ll be there tomorrow and the loud meter will come crashing to the floor.

Man the world must be about coming to an end for me to rally this much to KG’s defense. Wh is everyone so freaked out about the ft’s??? The man has shot 80% from the line! He is 7 feet tall! Evereyone should be happy he such a great ft shoter for heavens sake!

I mean it is NOT that he is soft on the block either! He is GREAT on the block. He just won’t get his rear end down there often enough and he mixes it up WAAAY too much

KG plays much, much harder than Sampson or Nowitzki ever have. That’s absurd. KG is a great player, let’s see what he does in game 6!

ray was in a slump and kg caught the germ. let’s hope pp still has some gas left in the tank. the perk news feels bad- we missed him badly in the last game. if we see scal in a game, we know it’s all lost.

hes just an idiot KG plays with the most heart period.

I don’t know the answer, and it sounds like most other people don’t, either.

I am a Lakers fan and even I think this article is quite a bit over the top…but after waiting his whole career to get here, don’t you think the numbers would be a little bit better that this?

Finals: FG: 40.2% FT: 72.2% PPG: 16.6

What do #s have to do with anything? His great stats in previous years did not get him a chance at a title did they?

As much as I hate the attack on Garnett, I do like the fact that Pierce is getting the credit that was long overdue from the national media even if it is at the expense of Garnett in some people’s eyes.

I think Whitlock writes for the Kansas City Star. You know Kansas City, that NBA hotbed!!! KG does need to get down low
when Perk isn’t in the game and Powe isn’t playing. He can score on Gasol and it will spread the floor and get better spacing and shots for the perimeter guys. That other stuff he wrote is nonsenical at best.
