Oww!!!!!The Celtics announced today that they're shutting down Kevin Garnett, presumably for the rest of the (regular) season. FML. Right?
No but seriously, I don't want to get too upset about this. The Celtics are pretty much locked into the 3 seed, and regardless of whether they're the 2 or the 3, they'll still play the Magics in the second round. The only problem is that Orlando would have the home courteous advantageous, but if we can't steal a game in Orlando (with KG) then we don't deserve to be champions. I really don't see the playoff-tested C's having any problem with the still-a-year-away M's, considering Boston took the Fighting Dwights to the brink in Orlando sans KG.
Of course, this is all just delaying the inevitable: ThaBron is going to absolutely murder the 2009 NBA Playoffs. I'm talking like 35-12-10 averages type of murder. Seriously, there is no way the Celtics beat the Cavs this year, especially considering Cleveland has all but locked up home court and hasn't lost at home since the stock market crash (of 1929). LBJ has been playing all season like he knows that this is his time, and he's ain't gon' let nobody turn him 'round. This is ThaBron's year and we all just have to sit back and take it and just hope it doesn't hurt too much (considering I've been bracing for the beating for 6 months, I don't think it will be too bad). I mean, considering the Cavs came within a c-hair of beating the Celtics last year in Boston, I really don't see them taking more than 6 games this season to dispatch the C(hair)'s.
So in conclush, I wouldn't worry too much about the Celtics shutting KG down. They'll probably have to restart Paul Pierce at some point, and obviously Eddie House isn't responding, so they'll have to CTRL-ALT-DELETE him, but that never works anyway. Hopefully they get Stephon Marbury out of standby in time for the playoffs. Computer jokes!
"Shutting down" KG - Whatever
