But tomorrow night, the Timberwolves' all-time leader in points, rebounds, steals, assists, and blocks will face his former team for the first time, in preseason action at the O2 Arena.</p> </p> Garnett showed little emotion when asked about playing the Wolves and said it makes it easier that "a lot of the players are gone now."</p> </p> "Those are friends off the court and all of that," Garnett said. "It's not like it's bittersweet. I'm still in the league. I'm still having fun. I'm still enjoying the game." -- <font color="#000000">Boston Globe</font></p> </p> [*]"You know what's crazy is that the players, the coaches and a lot of the people that I grew with in Minnesota -- a lot of the players are gone now," Garnett said after Kevin McHale came over for a handshake and momentary pleasantries. </p> "Obviously some of the minor people that people don't really know are still there, but teammates and a lot of people I knew there are gone. So it makes it a little easier when dealing with this. It makes it a little more easy just knowing a lot of people I did grow with are not there. Not to say that it is easy, but it makes it a little more easy." -- <font color="#000000">Boston Herald</font></p></div> </div>
