Kevin Garnett Backs Down ... Again
Kevin Garnett Backs Down ... Again
It's hard to argue that Kevin Garnett didn't do the right thing. Even after Zaza Pachulia got in his grill, KG kept his hands at his sides and didn't retaliate. No one wants to see Garnett get tossed out of a close game for taking a swing; not the Hawks, who'd have their victory tainted, and not the Celtics, who'd be worried about a Game 5 suspension. That said ... how come when Dirk ...

Atlanta To Boston: It Ain’t Gonna Be Easy
Intentional Foul — ... Quick, raise your hands if you thought the Celtics could get beat by two players. Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Kevin Garnett Is a Patient, Patient Man
The Association — ... Revenge is a dish best served cold, and nothing was cooler than KG laying out ZaZa -- with his team ahead by 34 points -- as a payback for the shot ZaZa gave him in Game 4.
