Kevin Garnett

Since their February 8th home-defeat against the Spurs, the Celtics have lost Tony Allen, Kevin Garnett, Brian Scalabrine, Rajon Rondo and Big Baby Davis to one ailment or another. Tonight in Miami, Boston will dress a group of ten players that includes a pair of newcomers who have been on the team less than two weeks, two rookies who never play, and a second-year guard who no one knows if Doc even likes and recently returned from a DUI suspension.

ate, the injury I’m most concerned with is the one that hits closest to home and that’s Kevin Garnett’s strained right knee. It has already been announced Garnett will miss the final three games of the Celtics’ current road trip and at least the next two to three weeks. The absence of the Big Ticket could cost Boston the first seed in the East and may also potentially expedite Boston’s acquisition of a big man. Forever attempting to be the optimist, this injury could be a blessing in disguise as the always full throttle Garnett will have an opportunity to recuperate prior to the postseason while Leon Powe and Big Baby Davis are afforded additional playing time to further prove their mettle.

tty sure that basketball would still be part of my life until my last dying moment on this earth.

Kevin Garnett has been my idol eversince and I believe that he is the complete player. He could lead a team, establish defense and impose himself offensively if he wants to.

The only problem with having 60 wins, is having 60 wins.  The better the record, the more a team becomes a favorite, the more they're expected to win.  And ultimately, constant pressure starts pushing down on them like a fat guy in a kids top bunk bed.  It can be difficult for a team (or a frightened kid below), especially a great one.   I didn't even mention the Patriots.
