<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Still Not Ready Kevin Garnett has missed three straight games with an abdominal strain, and that count is expected to rise. A week after Doc Rivers said the "Big Ticket" could probably play if it was a playoff game, the coach continued to offer that the injury is no worse than first believed. Rivers moved to halt all conjecture. "No, we haven't mislead you, so stop it, all right? It's just not where we want it to be," Rivers said. "I'm not concerned honestly (that it's more serious), but I do know that injury's not an easy injury. It's slow. He didn't hurt it as bad as other guys have, but it's still slow healing. There's a process that I'm sure Eddie (Lacerte, the team trainer) and the doctors have to go through. I think it's one of those slow-healing things that there's no reason for us to take a gamble on."</div> Boston Herald
He should take as much time as he needs to get 100%. Like Doc said, if he's 97%, he shouldn't play. It would be a shame if he had to miss Friday's game in Minnesota, though... or Sunday's game against San Antonio.
Whatever it takes to get KG back to 100% is what the Celtics should do. While I <strike>generally</strike>, <strike>often</strike> <strike>don't</strike> never agree with Glenn, this is something I'll take his back on.
bah- the team is fine w/o him, let the poor man rest. at least he'll have fresh legs when he gets back.
