LUDACRIS POWERLESS AGAINST THE MACHINE
Atlanta understands matchups- they know that they are far more young and athletic than the Celtics and they exploit that advantage. They also know that Boston has a serious hip-hop deficiency, so they brought out Ludacris to perform at halftime. It was intimidating, to be sure, for LESSER MORTALS. Not for our homeboy, #1 NBA jackass and NBA champion, Kevin Garnett.
I don't think there are many people out there that contend that KG isn't clutch, but if there are, I would be willing to bet that they also are 9/11 conspiracy theorists and believe that aliens assassinated President Kennedy. Meaning, you have to be either a narcissistic, logic-hating troglodyte or mentally ill to believe that KG isn't clutch. As a big man, he has a supreme disadvantage when it comes to being "clutch" because the NBA in the final seconds is all about running the clock down to three seconds, making a move, and shooting a fadeaway. Still! When he has his opportunities, he gets it done, and I challenge you- nay, I DEFY you - to find a big man that is more clutch than KG.
Case in point, last night, in Atlanta, with Atlanta ALL KRUNKED UP for this game, KG was shooting 2-10 from the floor... until crunch time, when he went 5-5 and won the game for the Celtics. Sure, it's Atlanta. Sure, it's the regular season. However, this was an intense game and we all know that the Celtics struggle against the Hawks. (It's all about matchups, peeps!)
Rondo had another outstanding game, Perk stuffed four shots, and the starters had to do all of the heavy lifting (only 13 points from the bench, and the Hawks only played 8!).
Great win for the Celtics. Even though the Hawks embarrassed the Celtics in the first round last year and got all up in their domepieces, the C's weren't intimidated last night and got the job done. It was a statement game, in a week nobody will remember that Joe Johnson could have tied it up with a free throw.
Go C's, go power companies.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/12/ludacris-prances-kg-implores-hawks-to.html
