This is what I like, no LOVE to read...
"Perhaps no team has ever been a bigger target in sports, and that’s so much of the reason these Celtics have come to camp so invigorated. Boston believes it can beat the Heat, and here’s the most important reason why: Everyone has been mesmerized with what they’re seeing out of Garnett. “Explosive again,” Rivers marveled.
In practice on Wednesday, the Celtics watched Garnett do things they hadn’t seen in two years. Once, he grabbed a rebound, fired the outlet pass and recovered to still beat every big man down the floor. No one witnessed that a year ago. Not once. He’s been fantastic for the Celtics and that can change everything. Boston can go back to guards Rajon Rondo(notes) and Delonte West(notes) pressuring the ball again because they know Garnett has the quickness to shadow the ball on the backline.
The ability of Garnett to come all the way back from his knee issues of the past two years will, Rivers says, “make or break us.”
