I think the three guys will all average about the same amount. Something in the 18-22 range. That's about the same for KG and a bit down for Allen and Pierce, who will be sharing shots.

The reason why people look at KG to score less and not up in the 26 points per game area is because...

1.) He's never scored that much before so he probably won't now

2.) He won't be taking nearly as many shots with Pierce and Allen on his team

Also I think KG will be first option however, until the C's get to the fourth quarter, than its game time for Allen and Pierce. Kevin has always been known to get a team to the final minutes but he's always needed someone to close it out for him. Now KG has two players who can do it...

His biggest problem is that with the exception of one year he's been playing with one of the biggest choke artists in league history as a second option and no third option to speak of. Garnett got to the ends of games to find himself fighting through triple teams with teammates that didn't convert wide open shots. When he played with Sprewell & Cassell that wasn't a problem. Now in the closing moments of games Garnett will be playing with killers who handle and pass as well as he does. There's no way to effectively double all three. With Eddie House they'll even have a guy that should easily convert the wide open shots he'll get as fourth option.

THis could be scary.

exactly!
all the talk of Garnett not being able to hit the clutch shots is rediculous, on those wolves teams he was ALWAYS going to be the one taking the shot so he would end up with 3 defenders on him.
and he would still make a fair share of them (against portland, pheonix etc).

with Ray and Paul out there aswell there should be a very high percentage of clutch shots going in the hole.

garnett was not brought here to score points...he was brought here for his defense and his rebounding and his ability to facilitate the game for pierce and allen...he will not be concentrating on his shots...we all know allen cant play D and pierce only does when he wants to so we have to have KG focusing most of his energy on the defensive end and his scoring will take a hit for that but his assists rebounds blocks etc should all go up

Garnett was most difintely not brought here to play defense, he was brought here because his name is Keving freaking Garnett and he is one of the elite players in all of basketball.

Avalanche

**** yeah!

hmm...

That's still just doubling one guy. Two of the three would be one on one. Rondo's man can't be everywhere.

ehmunro

They brought Garnett here because he's a top 10 player in the NBA, not as a defensive roleplayer, They sure as hell can't rely on Rondo or Perkins to score the points, so they have to come from somewhere.

Rondo won't be on the floor at all in the final minutes. House will be replacing him when the game's on the line to stretch the defense. Rondo will most likely be watching from the bench. Once Pruitt's ready or the Celtics sign Bell or Duhon then Rondo can slide into a back-up role that he's suited for.

That's probably for the best. The other PF/C will be doubling on Garnett, which is nice because he can pass, he does pass and now he has someone to pass to.
