Kevin Garnett is an emotional guy. It physically pains him, we're told, to sit on the bench, unable to play in the Bulls-Celtics series. Still, he gets plenty of camera time. Just look at this picture:But don't let all those shots of KG on the Celtics' bench fool you. According to Chicago Bulls forward Linton Johnson, the Battle of the Benches clearly favors the Bulls. In fact, he broke down the depth of Chicago's cheer squad bench, throwing in a jab at Kevin ***********' Garnett."Lindsey, like the Vanguard. So we follow Lindsey," Johnson said. "We've got the muscle with Aaron. We've got a heck of a bench. If they ever turn that camera down on our end, they've got something really good. KG's by himself, but we've got the whole clan down there."Do the Bulls' reserves ever hear what Garnett is yelling?"We can read his lips," Johnson said. "With him, it's easy. He only says about five words."Linton Johnson, you are my new favorite player.

Stock Up, Stock Down: NBA First Round

Stock Up: Rajon Rondo Talk about your coming out partoes! Rondo has been the best point guard on the floor during the playoffs so far: he's averaging 21 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds through six games. Did anyone expect that from him? I sure as heck didn't. The guy has gone from a late first round pick that wasn't even considered the best point guard in his draft class...

Keys To Boston Beating Magic? Rajon And Big Baby Need To Step Up

After weighing all the factors I believe that the Celtics will end as the victors of a well fought series but because of the loss of the “Big Ticket” Boston All-Star forward Kevin Garnett there will not be a Big Three this year. Instead Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will need help from else where to defeat Orlando. In this long time NBA observer’s view the two players that will...
