After much ado was made last night about Kevin Garnett not grabbing a single rebound in 23 minutes of play, he playfully went on a rant in front of reporters.
"You know what, I’m looking for the statistician around here. And when I find out what he looks like, we might have some problems," joked Garnett. "I had a rebound in the first quarter. That’s bull----, man. No, that’s f---ing bull----. That’s all I’m going to say. I had a rebound in the first half, thank you. I think that’s an error, we’re going to fix that."
This had been the first time he had not grabbed a rebound since Jan. 21, 1997 -- when he was a mere 20 years old.
