Garnett is a fantastic player, but superstars that are either incapable or unwilling to put a team on their back and dominate offensively are risky business in the playoffs.

Based on what I've seen, Garnett has done very little in the 4th quarter and has gotten gun shy. + some careless turnovers.
This is actually nothing new with him.
That's why I think despite defensive deficiencies compared to KG, Dirk is the better overall player.
Of course anytime I bring up that Dirk has the ability to take over games and is a clutch player non-Mavs fans laugh, but that is just a misconception due to the rigged 2006 finals
