8 a.m. ET: The Celtics ruin everything.
A little over a week ago, the Nuggets were just rolling along, winners of nine straight and looking like one of the most formidable teams in the Western Conference. Since dropping a triple-overtime game in Boston, though, the Nuggets have seen their losing streak grow to three games and lurch into the post-All-Star break schedule just hoping to regain some momentum.
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are expected to be in uniform for the Celtics, although that could change before Thursday’s trade deadline. The Celtics added journeyman Terrence Williams on Monday, but that is unlikely to be their last move as they try to add pieces to reinforce a roster devastated by injuries. If Danny Ainge’s history tells us anything, it is that nobody is off limits if he feels it could help the team.
Join us for updates and analysis during the game, which is scheduled to tip off at 9 p.m. ET.

Kevin Garnett didn’t exactly make the dramatic All-Star game exit many Celtics fans had been hoping for when he cryptically leaked last week that this would be his last appearance in the event. He did take the floor as the starting center for the Eastern Conference, however, fulfilling his due diligence in the lineup and saluting the fans.

Just five weeks ago, Carmelo Anthony hated Kevin Garnett. We all know the story; Anthony and Garnett were going at it in a tightly contested game back on Jan. 8. It got chippy and the two started jawing and before long, Garnett went below the belt like he normally does and allegedly said that Anthony’s wife “tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios.”
