Sun Tzu Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Boozer has been under the radar not only for this week but this whole season. Those are some pretty nice numbers from Boozer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtics3420 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Garnett averaging 17 and 7 wins player of the week? 20/7/4 on 70% shooting. Just cause he wasn't dropping 30 doesn't mean he shouldn't win POTW. Efficiency and an undefeated week. I don;t see why he shouldn't win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravenewworld Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Not a Knicks fan but Al Harrington changed that team this past week. Sure they went 3-1 with their only loss against Orlando but they also beat two division contenders (also beating portland a day after the week ended). Outside of the percentage KG and Harrington's numbers are pretty similar (Al having better numbers in most categories) as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
