This Photo Will Make You Root for the Bulls
Stare too long at this photo and you’ll fall into a deep trance. The kind where Kevin Garnett is a sane, well-behaved human being who doesn’t feel compelled to sneer and curse excessively down the stretch of close basketball games.(If you’re wondering if the photo is doctored, we asked ourselves the same question earlier today;
Celtics beat Bulls in OT, lead 3-2
Kevin Garnett was in street clothes. Ray Allen fouled out. The Boston Celtics' Big Three was down to one, and Paul Pierce was ready.

Garnett unlikely to practice all week
Head coach Doc Rivers said the Kevin Garnett isn't expected to return to practice anytime this week as he continues to be hindered by a sore right knee, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View: Garnett was originally targeting a return to action next Sunday against Cleveland, but if he does in fact miss the entire week of practice, that seems quite unlikely. It's starting to look more and more possible that Garnett could be out the remainder of the regular season to ensure he's as healthy as possible for Boston's playoff run. While it may mean that you could miss a game or two out of him at the end of the year, it probably would not be ludicrous to drop KG from your fantasy roster at this point, assuming you aren't in a keeper league, in favor of someone that you know will be active and logging minutes.

And I think he will be 100 percent or close to it." Garnett missed his third straight game and 16th in Boston's last 20 on Wednesday night. He's expected to miss at least three more and could return for the final three regular season games. [...]
