WALTHAM, Massachusetts (AP) -- The Boston Celtics are "shutting down" injured star Kevin Garnett because of concerns over his sore right knee.
Coach Doc Rivers announced after practice Tuesday that the team would be "shutting down" their star forward after Garnett experienced continued soreness in the knee, first injured on Feb. 19 at Utah.
Rivers said Garnett would probably play the last few games of the season to prepare for the playoffs.
"After watching him move today, we're just going to shut him down," Rivers said. "It probably won't be for the year. He'll probably play by the end, last couple of games, or last three games. It's just not progressing the way we anticipated it would progress."
Damn, yall are gunna make it too easy for the Crabeliers
-
doc says he should be back for the last 3 games of the year i guess

Celts are done, we all knew it was short term when they got KG and Allen and they got their title so props to them but they are done now. Cavs would beat them this year even w/ KG at 100% IMO but now it will be really easy for Cavs. Cavs and Lakers in Finals, man that is gonna be amazing.

I wouldn't stick a fork in the Celtics just yet; if KG gets in a few games b4 the playoffs and they get a relatively easy first round match-up, they should be fine. Honestly, the Magic are gonna be tough to beat as well.
Its amazing though---------who would've thought the Cavs would be the favourite in the east heading into this season???

^^Cmon Hack I am not hating here and I am giving the Celtics props, they got their title last year!! Thats more then I can say about my Pacers LOL, I am just saying I dont think they will win another title with this core, I think I am being reasonable but if I was a Celtics fan I would definitely disagree so I know where you are coming from.
Cmon Hack do you think Celtics will repeat this year?

we DEF need KG to play at 80% to win the title
i COULD see us losing to Cleveland but I still think we're the better team
until KG is out for the year i say we'll repeat.

I agree that the Celtics won't win another title but I wouldn't count them out as Eastern Conference champs.

On paper, the Cavs are not as good as the Spurs, Lakers, or Celtics. Those teams each have three very good players, while the Cavs have arguably two and many good role players.
If KG is only 80% though, the Celtics aren't getting close to a title.

funny how everyone completely ignores that the Cavs have the best defensive cast of all those teams...LOL. on paper, I'd take the Cavs minus LeBron over the Spurs minus Duncan or the Celtics minus KG.

We all get it---anything to discredit LBJ? I know it doesn't even seem possibly, but what is your cop out if the Cavs win the title? Or WHEN Lebron gets MVP?
Cavs DO have a great defensive team, lead by a much improved Lebron on defense.

right now ill say my favorites to win the title and power rankings:
celtics > lakers > cavs > spurs > magic > jazz > nuggets
nobody else can win the NBA title. i highly doubt the Nuggets or Jazz could either lol. but the JAzz are a nice darkhorse every year.

I told you months ago that Cavs were real and will beat the Cs ... nobody believed me ... as Spice said even at full strenght the C's are not on Cavs level this year ... Cavs have a real solid D , finally a team offense this season and Smith acquisition is huge imo ... I like how they can switch their interior players ... Varejao - Smith is the best 2nd string interior combo in the league ...

Yeah I think it will be Cavs and Lakers in Finals and my god what a dramatic series that will be!! I think every fan of non-contending teams (like me :'() will be rooting for this matchup to happen. I am going to pull for Miami in playoffs for JO but I fully expect a Cavs-Laker Final and thats what I want to see.
-
it's a possibility that the celtics will lose to the cavs this year, but I predict a 7th game win for the celtics, just watch!
-
celtics still got this
KG will be back and the celtics will light shit up on that court. im still thinking celtics vs lakers in the final, but seeing lebron vs kobe in the finals would be dope
-
as far as I'm concerned.... the Lakers and Celtics better not go into the playoffs slacking off and out of rhythm
