About Those KG Rumors

Can’t wait to see the scene… I know he’s coming back tomorrow night.

It’s tough not to think what it’d be like had KG and Powe been playing. Ah well, entertaining series. The NBA needed a series like this. Good for Chicago getting some confidence back and the city enjoying basketball again. I can see them being next years Atlanta Hawks. But man do I hate being the reason teams get confidence.

Ask a woman if she got a boobjob, and if she says anything other than ‘NO’ then she did…

He is in. Mark it.

… but my gut tells me he’ll at least give it a go. ESPN’s seven questions article on the series, found here, has at least a couple of experts agreeing there’s still a shot.

On KG’s odds of playing:

Adande: I’d say 55 percent. He seemed different in Game 6, almost as if he were gathering himself. I don’t think he could take watching Game 7 and what’s probably his last shot at another championship without doing something. He’ll want to at least try to get out there.

Sheridan: One percent always looms a lot larger than its numeric value. Doc Rivers threw out that number the day before the series began, I pressed him on it and he then said “10 percent” before backing down to ‘1 percent.’ As I wrote at the time, one ain’t zero. And as I think about it Friday morning, I’d say 1 percent looks more like 50-50.

Just interviewed a boston globe sport reporter ( Jackie) she a lady. She stated that when she pressed Ainge about KG playing. If KG came to him and doc and told them that he wanted to play. The answer would be YES. It’s up to KG.

Please don’t put that phony pompous narcissistic fool Favre and Garnett in the same post.

I don’t like Garnett’s act any more than I like Favre’s crocodile tears and phony posturing but at least Garnett’s act is sincere.

I’m betting he does a Willis Reed on Saturday.

:)

But what I think is funny is how the Celtics keep assuring us he’s out for the playoffs. But if that’s the case, why don’t they just let him have his surgery? I think they’re planning on him coming back at some point. But not Saturday.

The scariest part of that picture is to see how short Davis really is. It’s amazing that Davis is the player he is inside at his barkleyesque hate.

Do you know if he just only got dressed and was sitting on the bench, what the adrenline would be like at the Garden…..

Just think, would that have a psychological effect on the Bulls if they see Garnett dressed for the game….. not saying he’d be coming in….

God only knows that Rivers uses only a 7 man rotation for the playoffs…..

But just to have him going through the pre-game drills all dressed up sitting on the Bench……..

More to come!!

… if in the small event KG comes back, should he start or should he come off the bench?

I would say that he should come off the bench so as not to upset the chemistry of the 1st five.

Jackie was on “Around the Horn” today and said she had just gotten off the phone with Danny and had asked him point blank that if KG came to him and asked to play in Game 7 would he let him. He answered ‘yes.’

So there’s still a chance. KG’s crazy enough to do it, that’s a given. But I’m not counting on it.

I also join the chorus of fans who have grown tired of this story. But it is what it is.

I agree with previous posts. KG will be un uniform. He at least will perform better than most of the bench even if plays for part of the game, and will be an inspiration to all, including fans. If he is not in uniform, then it is apparent that the Celts have no plans of progressing any further into the series. But what about Big Baby? He has come into his own.

Even if KG doesn’t play, which I hope he does, he should at least put on his uniform to intimidate the Bulls and scare them. I think they would piss their pants if he would have his uniform on and play just a min in the game. I think they would try to hurt him even more just so they would have a chance at making the next round. KG has a loud mouth which i love and wish he would have been up hyping them up the way he did during the first 5 games. I think he wasn’t up the last game because he was getting attention and causing a big stir with the media. I would love to see the magic and the celtics play. It would be a pitiful series if the magic played the bulls.

You played 4 games last month, nothing else has happened since then, you can go for 10 minutes remember anything is possible!

bottom line: the garden will rock with or without KG. How could anyone possibly dream KG, as a PLAYER, will be effective tonight?? Sure, there may be that cheesy “Rocky” moment where the everyone goes nuts and it gives all the idiotic talking heads even more to wax upon, but if you are counting on that shot to give a lasting edge, go watch Hoosiers or something like that again. As far as intimidating the Bulls, has anyone watched the post game interviews with the players?? Derrick Rose does not even have a pulse and would actually probably enjoy playing against KG for his scrap book or something. Same with Gordon and if anything, it would FIRE UP Noah even more. That is why this team has made it this far. They beat the celts in Boston once and nearly did two other times.
Make no mistake, Rivers and the Boston org wants to win badly and if KG could make any sort of legit contribution, he would play. He can’t. You know, if so many people would stop blogging, interviewing, writing about this sappy drama, Rivers and company would probably have to discuss it 2000 percent less and would not be forced to make so many drippy ambiguous comments. I am glad that last year when Bynum and ariza were out for the playoffs, there was not this incessant diarreah of speculation. Yawn.

I love KG’s basketball game but i do abhor his woofing or whatever that amateur hour shit is called. But ultimately, how sad would it be if KG came in for nine minutes to re-injure his knee against Brad Miller and a very average upstart Chicago team? and the truth is, that could EASILY happen (WHICH IS CLEARLY WHY HE IS NOT PLAYING< DUH). Think about his future and that of your team’s.

Garnett’s entrance would probably have more of an effect on the crowd than anything else.

I harken back to an old Pistons series where Bill Walton entered. It probably hurt the team more than it helped them but it energized the crowd. The ghost of Garnett probably has more in the tank than Walton did at that point. So it’d probably help on court a little more. But regardless, the crowd it the last thing that needs help in a game 7 in the Gahden.
