I just don't see what the big deal is to Jermaine O'Neal.  How
can anybody compare him to Kevin Garnett?  He's just a complementary
player with some gaudy stats.  Indiana's offense doesn't even revolve
around him, unless he's being guarded by Travis Knight.  Am I really
that far off?  This playoff series sure didn't change my mind.
