The Big Ticket makes a house call

44Thrilla · Apr 21, 2010

It would have been wise for Danny Ainge to have his wife and kids watch last night’s Celtics [team stats] playoff game in a separate room of the house.

Otherwise, the Ainge clan might have learned a few new words from visitor Kevin Garnett.

The power forward was suspended for Game 2 and therefore was barred from the Garden. He planned to take in the action at the home of the C’s general manager.

“That’s going to be very interesting,” Kendrick Perkins [stats] said of the atmosphere at Ainge’s house. “They’re going to pick everything apart. Not the major things like rebounds and assists. They pick on if you set a screen or if you were there for the help defense. I wouldn’t want to be there.”

It’s been a strange few days for Garnett after the NBA suspended him for one game for elbowing Miami’s Quentin Richardson Saturday.

At the team shootaround yesterday, Garnett was relegated to individual work on the side.

In Monday’s practice, Garnett was working with the second unit for the first time in 15 years.

“I was on the second team (Monday), so we had a little more spunk,” Garnett said. “It was fun. I haven’t been on the second team since my rookie year, so it was all good.”
