Well, let's try a little math and see if I'm kidding or not. In the 5 games that KG has played, the average score has been 102-99...and that includes the 15-point loss to Denver. In the 4 games he has been on the bench, the average score is 90-101. So, the average swing depending on whether KG is on the court or not is 14 points. But since 7 points was not one of the choices that Cool provided, I went with the option that was closest...that being 8 points. Turns out I was pretty damn close.

So, to answer your question (even though it may have been rhetorical)...no, I was not kidding you.
