Christmas Day Predictions:

New Orleans vs. Orlando
CP3 and the boys will be in sunny Orlando on Christmas Day and they will find things quite comfortable out there. Look for a huge game from David West in this close contest of 2nd Tier NBA clubs.

Boston vs.. L.A. Lakers
In the game of the season so far the Boston Celtics will extend their franchise record win streak to 20 games and NBA record start to 28-2. L.A. is a good team but to beat the C's they will have to be GREAT and besides Kobe Bryant they do not have anyone on the roster that can be GREAT against the C's.

Dallas vs.. Portland
The young Blazers are playing some of their best ball of the season despite the struggles of Greg Oden. The last time Roy was on TNT he lit the Suns up for 50. Look for a similar nationally televised effort from one of the games best young players.

Danny Granger, Indiana - One of the best wing players in the game. This kid can really light it up averaging 24.4 ppg and making just a little more than 2 three's per game.

Devin Harris, New Jersey - With averages of 24 ppg and 6.0 apg Harris has become the best point guard in the Eastern Conference seemingly overnight. Already this season he lit Iverson up for 38, Nash for 47 and Kidd for 41. WOW.

Derrick Rose, Chicago - The number 1 pick in the NBA draft has his Bulls tied for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. With averages of 17.5 ppg, 6.3 apg and 3.8 rpg, Rose is off to a great start to what should be a great career.

Stu Parker	wow. after reading this blog....You are spot on. I do not deny Kevin Garnett's ability as a player but HATE the BS stuff he does...All negative crap.
	This is a very unfair article. Garnett is an Olympic Gold Medalist, an MVP, an ALL STAR MVP, an ALL NBA member and an NBA Champion... you know how many current players can say that? 2 others (Shaq & Kobe) and they are all considered among the best players at their respected positions in the HISTORY of basketball. The same should be said for K.G.

Ra	This is blasphemy. I hope a Celtics fan did not write this article.
KWAPT	How old is that clip of KG? C'mon..of course that was a punk move, but what was that, 10 years ago? It's simple: KG is a fierce competitor who uses intimiadation and mental toughness to strike fear in the heart of his opponents. If he is on your team, you LOVE him. If he is not, you may loathe him. But either way, he is a great player. You cannot deny that.
Alex	Wow, now we are going to call an Olympic Gold Medalist, an MVP, an ALL STAR MVP, an ALL NBA member, an NBA Champion, a player that has more 20-10-5 seasons than Larry Bird, Defender of the Year (2008 and most likely, this year) overrated? Hmm, right now I'm kind of smelling a bit of jealousy mixed with stupidity in this article.
Tweedster	This blog is poorly written, scattered and incoherent. Thankfully, someone else already tackled the inconsistencies and leaps of logic. Check it out hear: http://celticshub.com/2009/10/22/did-you-hear-kg-is-overrated/
Tweedster	Some actual statistics, and not just conjecture and strange conclusions based on the number of 'chips KG has. http://www.celticstown.com/is-kevin-garnett-clutch.html
SP	ron campbell must love the Lakers. Or the Cav's. Or the Magic. but he doesn't know @$@@ about basketball!
Ed The Sports Fan	I'm sorry, there's no way in life Allen Iverson isn't in the starting 5, especially ahead of Nash. Give a damn about MVP's, Iverson's done more with much much MUCH less and totally revolutionized the game. Other than that, I think your decade team is cool. -Ed.
Lebron is the King	The way you analyzed your stats is flawed. If your saying Bird is better because he hits more 3 pointers, scores more, and passes more, your wrong. Bird had exceptional teammates which explains some assists. Now Bird was a great 3 point shooter and you said Duncan was a "center playing a power forward". Now if he does this, why would you bash it? All it shows is how versatile Duncan is in his position on the court. Duncan although not a flashy player, showed dominance under the goal. Duncan didnt need to pass because he could school anyone under the goal. Duncan is better because he has more rings. End of story. And to your comment on "We will never see another Larry Bird." Well we see a better one now, he goes by Ray Ray.
