I have not heard anyone refer to Rasheed Wallace as a Hall of Fame player, though I would argue Wallace is the second best power forward in the league since Karl Malone retired. 

What can Garnett do that Wallace cannot?

 The one-word answer to this question is a resounding &quot;no,&quot; but let me get a few things out there before I get into my issue with David West .  I understand that the cheek-tap on Dirk in the first round was minor, and said so at the time .

Gary Land)
One reason everyone has been so geeked since July that the Celtics are a championship contender again is the inevitable feeling of nostalgia. Well, Celtics/Cavs last night was definitely nostalgic; it looked a lot like those awful bump-and-grind Knicks/Heat games from the 1990&amp;#8217;s.
