I don't know why everyone under-rated the Spurs going into the playoffs. They have the ability to win it all.

Dwight, who is best friends with Chris in real life, even said Bosh is a bad match up for him. Chris is a big man that can drive and shoot. Dwight can't guard him outside of the paint, he just flat out can't.

The only thing stopping Chris from being better then KG right now, is his complete and utter lack of defense. If he can some how improve that aspect of his game dramatically, he is the next Kevin Garnett, however I don't know if thats going to happen sadly. Also injuries have held him back, especially this year. If he didn't get injured, he would have finished this season with another 22+ point 10 rebound year. Sadly his knee is an issue. This is his third year averaging more then 22 points and 8 rebounds a game while having absolutely NO help to clear the paint.

Does this mean Bosh is better then Dwight? Hellllllllllllllllll no. He is just a bad match up for him thats all.

Yeah I would've never guessed the Suns would get themselves into a 0-3 deficit. But for some reason I can't stand watching the spurs; Tony Parker is amazing but after watching the first game of the NBA finals last year, I couldn't watch anymore.

And Bill Russell shut down Wilt right? Bosh has dropped two 20+ points 20+ rebound games on Bosh.

I don't know if you have been watching the games, but Bosh hasn't been guarding him exclusively. They collapse on Dwight.

It's been on and off. I would say the majority of the game they spend guarding each other.

And I wouldn't even begin to say Bosh is almost on KG level. KG is one of the best PF's of all time and its not only his defense that sets him apart, but his decision making, leadership abilities, and insane court vision as a big man.

And this is not a shot at Bosh. He is awesome, young, and with a lot of potential, but I wouldn't say he's almost at KG's level or will come close to his level anytime soon.

He is almost on his level, but not there yet. Bosh has had to lead the entire franchise since his sophomore year. He has taken us from a gigantic joke to winning the Atlantic Division championship and making the playoffs twice.

He has a good way to go, but if he works on his defense, I think he could be better then KG. Just like I think Dwight could be better then Shaq. Only time will tell.

You're saying this because you're a homer. Do you remember what KG did leading his team to the WCF, and beating the Kings in a set of games in which his stats were mind blowing as well as his play especially in the 4th quarter.

Remember, he's a 24 14 5 player who's defense was constantly overlooked until this year. He led a dismal team to the playoffs in the West consecutive years, and once he got even a crappy talent like Spreewell and over the hill Cassell, he went to the WCF (his MVP year). That's the type of player KG is, an MVP player who's intangibles are insurmountable. He's an ALL TIME great. I'm not going to limit what Bosh is capable of, because i don't like assumptions, but with his current skill set, I don't see him touching KG at all, but we will see with some time.

KG is one of the best PF ever... If the list is at least 15 deep.
You're clearly a delusional celtics fan. KG was a notorious underachiever for years when it counted the most in Minnesota. This year they didn't need him to be the focus and he had an INCREDIBLE year, but I still wouldn't count on him in high pressure situations.

(don't take this too seriously I'm admittedly biased)

It feels like they went through the reg season on cruise control and just now are starting to play at full strenght. ARRRGH I hate the spurs they just tick me, especially the whinny ass/best PF ever Timmy Duncan.
