KG Not Ready To Play
Kevin Garnett maybe be done for the season. The knee injury is not improving and he did not look strong according to Celtic’s Head Coach Doc Rivers.
This would be a huge blow to the defending Champions repeat campaign. Many experts did not expect them to beat the Cavs with KG, let alone without him. The Celtics might not get past the second round and could struggle with the Bulls in the first round.
The Celtics will miss KG more on the defensive end than on offense. The still have fire power in Paul Peirce, Ray Allen and the rest. But no collection of players can replace the defensive awareness and intensity that KG has every game.
Here is your chance Leon Powe.
Draft Declarers
- Shawn Taggart, forward from Memphis – this is hopefully more about the coaching change.
- Damion James, forward from Texas – this team is going to be loaded next season, maybe worried about PT.
- Patrick Patterson, forward from Kentucky – see Taggart.
No one has hired an agent, which is the right move, but I would expect to see the James and Taggart back for the 2009-10 season. Texas could make a deep run with the team they have next season. Memphis, not so much. Kentucky is in for a bumpy season and EPSN.com projects Patterson has a mid-to-late first round pick.
Side-Note– Yahoo.com’s Jason King wrote a peice on the underclassmen and their choices.
Brilliant Strike
I do watch a good amount of soccer, and this is one of the best goals I have seen in a long time by Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United.
PS – Arensal destroyed Villareal 3-0. Welcome back Mr. Walcott.
Timberwolves Starting Line-Up
In the last game of a tough season for the Timberwolves, Kevin McHale started Mike Miller, Kevin Ollie, Mark Madsen, Brian Cardinal, and Jason Collins. In an interview, McHale said this was his way of saying thank-you for being good leaders on the team. I think it was a way to lose to a crappy team.
BETTER DRAFT PICK!
I am not sure I care right now. I have stop paying any attention since Randy Foye went down awhile back. 
Here is what I think they need to look at in the 2009-10 season.
- A shooting guard over 6’4″.
- A shot blocker – Al Jefferson average 1.7 a game, the next is Kevin Love with .65.
- A pass first point guard – Three guys on the team average more than four assists a game, but no one averages over five.
- A New GM – This is a reoccurring theme from years past!
- Another All-Star type player.
This team has peices of a winning team, but needs another player that can take games over when Jefferson is double-teamed and consisteny at the coaching position. McHale is a decent coach, I think players repond to him.
But McHale can not go back to the front office. Because when we get the No. 1 pick, he will find a way to mess it up. PICK BLAKE GRIFFIN. I don’t care about Kevin Love, Ryan Gomes, and the bunch. You will put butts in the seats and get an atheltic player this team hasn’t since the thug days Isaiah “JR” Rider and the original Eastbay-Funk-Dunk (that might be the only time Rider is mention in a post, on purpose).
