... Hardwood Paroxysm asks why everyone babies Kevin Garnett.  I get where he’s going with it… but I think this notion of tanking is universally dismissed.  Now… if Sam Cassell didn’t hit that big shot against San Antonio and the Celtics lost… and someone wanted to pull out the “KG doesn’t want to take the big shot” discussion… then his defenders (of which I would have been one) could be accused of overlooking some things and “babying” him.  But this comes down to a player with a ...
