Kevin Garnett on consistency: Celtics are either "hard as sh#t to beat" or "trash"

Via Celtics Life  |  November 06, 2012
In Kevin Garnett's post-practice interview today, he addressed the Celtics' consistency issues from the first few games of the season. From WEEI's Ben Rohrbach: The Boston Celtics hosted their first open practice of the regular season in Waltham on Tuesday, and Kevin Garnett sent a clear message to his new teammates: Buy into the Celtics system of practicing how...

The Celtics and their over-reliance on Kevin Garnett

Via Red's Army  |  November 05, 2012
We’ve seen what happens to the Celtics when Kevin Garnett isn’t in the line up.  We know it.  But if you don’t, Cedric Maxwell summed it up quite nicely on CSNNE: “I think the thing about KG, KG is the engine,” Maxwell said. “You can have the keys — Rondo has the keys to everything — but KG is the engine and when the engine is going the car is going the right way...

Kevin Garnett discusses chemistry, says something about disliking Comcast and not being able to fast-forward

Via Celtics Town  |  November 08, 2012
Add this one to the Kevin Garnett metaphors pantheon:“You can’t speed chemistry up,” said KG. “I think the more practice, the more you get familiar with each other. There’s no hit the fast forward button here. You’ve got Comcast. Some shows you can’t fast forward through. You’ve just got to let it go through and watch the silly ass commercials and be pissed, right...

KG's Interviews are Priceless

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  November 08, 2012
Kevin Garnett has given us much enjoyment with his post game interviews. We have heard rants about how he can shoot threes and how he's not old. We've heard analogies about making tortillas and casseroles. Whatever he comes up with, it's always fun. But, when even KG calls an interview weird, you know it's going to be fun. Here is a transcript from Green Street...

Kevin Garnett’s Practice Habits Spur Celtics Teammates to Greater Emphasis on Preparation

Via NESN.com  |  November 06, 2012
WALTHAM, Mass. — After more than 45,000 minutes played and some 24,000 points scored, Kevin Garnett has gotten the hang of this professional basketball thing. But as the surefire future Hall of Famer embarks on his 18th NBA season, he is the subject of constant monitoring, probably even more so than he was as a teenager in 1995. Back then, after all, nobody knew what to expect...

Your Morning Dump… Where the Garnett/Sullinger ticket is a winning one

Via Red's Army  |  November 07, 2012
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “I thought he did a great job,” Garnett said of Sullinger’s first start during the Celtics [team stats]’ win in Washington last Saturday. “He’s a no-nonsense guy. Not that I’m shooting down the other...

Paul Pierce throws nice behind-the-head pass to Kevin Garnett (Video)

I'm still trying to figure out how Boston Celtics guard Paul Pierce was able to thread this pass to Kevin Garnett against the Washington Wizards. Maybe, he has eyes in the back of his head:

Celtics Trail 42-37 at the Half Despite KG’s 10 Rebounds

Via CLNS Radio  |  November 07, 2012
In a game devoid of cohesive and consistent offense, the Celtics trail 42-37 at the half. Kevin Garnett has seven points and 10 boards while Rajon Rondo has eight points and five assists. Rondo, who is halfway to his 28th straight double-digit assist game, has been as creative as ever tonight with several dazzling behind-the-back [...]

KG compares Sullinger to Perkins

Via Celtics Life  |  November 06, 2012
Kevin Garnett says Jared Sullinger reminds him of Kendrick Perkins when it comes to basketball IQ and unselfishness. — Boston Celtics (@celtics) November 6, 2012 Obviously a pretty big compliment by the Big Ticket. KG has been searching for a partner in crime down low since Perkins was traded. Shaq couldn't get back on the court due to his foot. J.O. needed to be wrapped...

Doc Rivers Believes JaJuan Johnson Has ‘NBA Talent’ But Ex-Celtics’ Success Depends on ‘Mental Makeup’

Via NESN.com  |  November 07, 2012
BOSTON — The last nine months were interesting for JaJuan Johnson, to say the least. From first-round pick by the Celtics to bench jockey to trade chip and, most recently, top pick in the NBADL draft, the 23-year-old Purdue product has so far not panned out as it was hoped when Boston took him with the 27th pick in the 2011 NBA draft. Before Johnson plays a single game with his...

Jared Sullinger starts again for the Celtics as they face the Wiards for the second straight game. Doc Rivers was asked before the game why Sullinger was starting again, which he met with a simple answer. “We’re playing the same team!” Rivers joked. “I do like Jared in the lineup.

Boston Celtics: To Worry Or Not To Worry?

Via Boston Sports Then & Now  |  November 06, 2012
Doc has a lot of toys to play with, but which should he use and when? The Boston Celtics are off to a lackluster 1-2 start. Coming into the season, there was much hype surrounding the Green Team following their headline acquisitions (and one headline departure), but fans and the team, for that matter, are learning that it will take some hard work.
