When Kevin Garnett first joined the Celtics, one of the places he first visited was Gillette Stadium.  He knew .    The similarities between Kevin Garnett and Tom Brady have proven to be endless.   Both have extremely high IQ's for their respective sports.  Both are obviously the key to their team's success.  Until recently, neither has suffered a serious injury.  Even though their injuries are not the same, their mental approach should be.

Hopefully KG has been watching Mr. Bady these first couple of games. He could certainly learning from seeing what Brady's is going through.  Even at full strength, there is a little rust and his timing isnt there.   Patriot fans are a little surprised to see Brady struggle.  Celtics fans won't be should expect the same from KG.

Chances are good that when Kevin starts playing again, it will be no different.  Brady is feeling his way back.  He is not trying to rush things, he's taking things step by step.  I am not concerned that Kevin Garnett will be healthy at the start of the '09-2010 season.  I am terrified of Celtic's forward  blasting out of the gates, like a starving pitbull that is finally being unleashed, only to reaggravate his knee.

KG's emotions should not get the better of him.  Game one will be a statement game.  All eyes will be on him as the Green battle the Cavs.  Garnett, much like Brady has been, will be tested.  I fully expect that Garnett to turn the ball over atleast once or twice, and Rasheed to get his first ejection.   Celtics' nation should be patient. 

Bottom line is this folks, Kevin Garnett will need to approach his season  much like Tom Brady has his, with caution. It will be worth it in the end.  Both will end their seasons as champions.
