<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Chris Bosh was sitting on the sideline in a suit. Toronto's starting forwards were guys named Joey Graham and Jorge Garbajosa. The two Raptors who would spend the most time guarding him were Rasho Nesterovic and Kris Humphries. Kevin Garnett's eyes got big. Ultimately, too big in the 100-97 loss Wednesday. The Timberwolves forward felt he pressed to take advantage of matchups that, on paper, were his to dominate and wound up making those Raptors more effective. Given Nesterovic's and Humphries' history with Garnett -- one a former teammate who never breathed the same fire, the other a Minnesota kid whose popularity transcended his basketball deeds -- they were red capes to his bull, and he tried to force things. He admitted as much afterward. "I've just got to relax," he said. "Sometimes, I get so hyped before these games ... I've got to go into my yoga phases and do some of my meditation to just relax." At one point, Garnett did some 1-on-1 dribbling on the right baseline, facing Nesterovic and trying to get him to commit one way. But the Toronto center stayed planted and knocked the ball loose. "I see an opponent across the way and I feel that fear, man ... I've got to relax," Garnett said. "That onus is on me. I'm trying to do too much, I'm trying to take advantage of what I have. Watching film, I knew [the Raptors] would probably trap, but they didn't trap early. They had Rasho play me head-up, and I was anticipating something that wasn't even there."</div> Source
