That was fun.  I love it when KG gets so fired up.  He's so much fun to watch.  Wolves fans have mixed feelings about the Big Ticket: fond memories, feelings of betrayal, love, hate,admiration.  You name it and there is a fan feeling it.  I think the comment that cracked me up the most was "Hey look it's that guy we traded for Al Jefferson".  Of all the hate for KG, Rondo, and Pierce on boards, this is the first one I've found with real Sasha Pavlovic hate.  Guess having him on your team for a year will do that.  Lots of fun comments today.  Any favorites?  I suspect KG is not going to be received well by the crowd.

He committed two turnovers and hit only three of his 11 shots, if we're splitting hairs, but those flaws hardly registered during a 17-assist performance in which he commanded the Celtics offense as well as he has all season. Rondo extended his...
