    It seems the God of basketball is recently betting on Rockets' winning. Dirk, West, Paul, all the big men inside were magically disabled JUST BEFORE the game, so that the yaoless team is fighting with equivalents.

    I'm not being evil but I'm just curious about that's gonna happen now with KG. To me these bigmen's falling is what really means to me by

    "what amazing happens"

    Ray Allen might be out for this game. So there you go.

    Garnett doesn't really dominate around the basket anyways. He'll still be a tough cover because of his rebounding and ability to shoot over our PFs.

    For some reason, Boston doesn't scare me like a lot of the elite Western teams. Maybe I'm just not as familiar with losing to them.

    I have the same worry like you. We never meet a real bigman in the W streak. Battier can stop Kobe, but no way against KG. Fortunately, we have Mutombo. Maybe we need him to play 30 mins next game.

    I don't wanna wish injury to KG, so maybe he'll just have a huge emotional breakdown before the game. That guy cries too much on TV.

    They play the Spurs the night before. They could be exhausted when they play us.

    Haha.... Actually this question was in my mind for two days. A lot of people said we were cursed when Yao was out. but during this Yao Ming less streak, good teams were also missing the top or the second scorer.

    That is kind of funny.

    Oh, they will. Either that or the officiating will be to blame. You've never seen a more annoying fan in your life until you've seen a Celtics fan try to explain away a loss to a quality Western Conference team, as opposed to celebrate a 50-point win over the Knicks.

    I have no objections to the Spurs setting the table for us the night before.

    KG is the one player in the league who makes Chuck look like a punk. I think it has to do with KG's length and the fact he may be the only elite PF in the league who can get by Chuck at will off the dribble.

    Now for the good news. We don't have to rely on Chuck anymore. This team can mix and match so much with Scola/Hayes/Harris/Landry(?) that we have plenty of fouls to use on KG and 4 very different players to keep KG from getting into a rhythm.

    Yeah, Garnett has a really good post game but he is skinny enough that our small "bigs" can handle him. I'm more worried about guys with more weight. As weird as it sounds the heavy guys like Shaq, Dwight, and Sheed scare me more because we don't have any one person who plays alot of minutes that can stop them. Yao usually played his best against those types of players and that is where we'll miss him most.

    Well, isn't Ray Allen already listed as questionable?

    I WANT kg to play ...so after we beat them down all the analysts don't make more excuses for our winning streak.

    You don't wish injuries upon players from other teams. Ever.
