"Without Kevin Garnett in the 2009 Playoffs, the then-defending champion Boston Celtics struggled to get past Chicago in seven games before losing to the Orlando Magic in seven in the conference semis. Had they had KG? Who knows? But according to Y! Sports' Marc Spears, Garnett has been working out at the Celtics Waltham, Mass. facility and the reviews are in. Boston GM Danny Ainge gives Garnett a thumbs up.
"We're looking for him to be there at the end of the season, not just the start of the season," Ainge said. "We're getting him ready for training camp and looking forward to him being healthy in the playoffs. He looks good. Really good (ESPN)."
Everything sounds good on the KG front, but expect the Celtics to rest KG a lot more this year, so that he will be ready for the playoffs. We all know the regular season means very little in the NBA, and with the Celtics adding Wallace, and bringing back big Baby they will have some good options off the bench. His numbers may take a dive this year, but all that really matters is he is 100% come playoff time...
