Let's examine each point and see if he's right.
 Kevin Garnett is still hurting.
 
 Midway through overtime with Boston ahead 105-103, the Celtics ran an
 out-of-bounds play with one second left on the shot clock on which they
 threw an alley-oop lob to Garnett at the rim. The play was executed
 perfectly, but Garnett couldn't get up high enough for the stuff --&...

 was in another time zone when Pierce made his pass to Garnett. And how
 did the hero celebrate, after screaming in the general direction of Spike Lee?

 the Celtics emerged from the privacy of the back room, the other

It's a great moment, but this was a horrible game.  The Celtics simply do not look good right now.  Doc Rivers says he's not worried.  And I refuse to let myself be concerned or impressed by much in November.  But damn... this Celtics team does not inspire a lot of confidence in me right now.  Ray and KG were a combined 7 of 28.  Throw in Sheed's num...

They would still be really bad most likely. Oh well, Cs by 24. Celtics are going stomp us. I know we played Cleveland tough but this team with all the injuries will just be too tired to keep up.

You have to fight to get interviews with players and coaches, and when you finally get them they usually turn out to be repetitive and mundane.
