Is Kevin Garnett Finished for the Season?

What is really wrong with Kevin Garnett’s knee? There is now the possibility that Kevin Garnett will not play in the post season:

“…He’s not going to be ready. After watching him practice, there’s no way,” Rivers said on WEEI-AM. “The way I saw him move today, I don’t know if he’ll be ready.”

The Lakers fans may view this news with a bit of skepticism. They remember the incident from the Championship Finals when Paul Pierce left the court in a wheelchair. Paul Pierce recovered quickly and returned to play. That was a game in which the Celtics beat the Lakers by ten points.

Will Kevin Garnett return during the post season play? Is the theme music from “Rocky” ready for a dramatic entrance? Or have the ‘basketball miles’ on those knees taken its toll and ended Kevin Garnett’s season? The Celtics’ defense of the NBA championship may be determined by whether Kevin Garnett has any playing time, as the Boston Celtics try to extend their season.
