Kevin Garnett lacking intensity, not challenging for rebounds, faililng to step up in anything close to a key situation, and overall non-MVPish behavior. He sets the tone, remember? He certainly set it tonight, and that's why there will be a Game 7 involving the 37-45 (now 40-48) Atlanta Hawks.
Ive got to agree with this. Disappointing game by KG. On three late possessions he made 3 bad passes - resulting in 2 turnovers i think. He also settled on 20ft shots and fadeaways too many times during the game.
As WHO mentioned, our offensive execution was poor. Although we set up through KG in the post, i dont think our off ball movement was there to allow for good passing. Passing can only be as good as the movements you make.
I thought the double teaming of JJ was too extended, and happened too predictably. Especially when JJ got the ball at the top of the key, this left him with too easy options.
Paul looked primed for a big one, however, picked up 2 or 3 stupid fouls. The last one was an absolute joke of a call, but he put himself in that position.
The Hawks also fed off their home crowd. Hats off to the Atlanta fans for lifting that team.
Next game, i'd like to see more offense run through the high post. Even if its Perk initiating it, i think the C's do an excellent job when the offense is run this way.
