As a New England sports fan, it pains me having to watch a New York team succeed (nfl.com) ... However, I've never been big on football anyway, so it took me all of five minutes to work out my depression before focusing on Tuesday's game against the Cavs. In terms of the fallout over last night's much-ballyhooed upset, the lone "bright spot" (if one can even call it that) is that I now have an intense desire to read Bill Simmons' next article ... He jinxed the whole thing, y'know, when he referenced the 2002 Super Bowl - and those "smug" Rams fans - in an article last week (which I've been trying like heck to track down but can't seem to find in his archive ...

Green Bandwagon Note - Boston fans of my generation have been skittish with injuries ever since Nomar Garciapara initially hurt his wrist and we watched his career spiral downwards. I'm not saying Kevin Garnett is hurt in the same way. Furthermore, I'm glad the Celtics are cautious and hope this story is a non-issue a month from now. I'm just saying... Finally, I haven't seen much of Nancy Lane's work and wonder if the photo accompanying this article is a typical example. See picture. Boston Globe Pierce's final analysis: LA's a contender.

Kevin Garnett May Be Out For a While
Published 2/4/2008 by Brett Edwards at FanHouse
Filed under: Celtics, NBA Injuries So, about that abdominal strain that's been keeping the frontrunner for the MVP award out of action? It looks like it's going to keep him out a little longer, and in fact, as long as necessary. Doc Rivers was a little testy when asked (probably for the hundredth time) about the severity of Kevin Garnett's injury, and refused to set a timetable for the big man's return. "No, we haven't mislead you, so stop it, all right? It's just not ...
