Garnett and the Yips


Garnett hit a huge basket down the stretch, and scored most of his points in the second half. But we also saw him clang two free throws in the final minutes and fail to drive to the hoop as the shot clock was winding down and only 6'3" Chauncey Billups was guarding him. Instead, he passed to a closely guarded Pierce, who flung up a desperation three as the buzzer sounded.

We all love KG.

At the same time, most of us will spend a few moments during the Finals saying a prayer that KG overcomes his occasional bouts with nervousness in the waning moments of playoff games.
