He sounds confident but he is still nowhere 100% and his knee is not at full speed yet. In my opinion he shouldn't play until he is 100%. Because on that video, he didn't look fine.
Garnett is one of the those guys that came into the league and I can remember watching him his whole career (as opposed to with Dream, I only remember the latter years) I have always respected Garnett for playing the right way, and I wish it would have been us, but I was happy for Garnett when he got his ring. A good guy, great competitor and a player that played the right way. With the lowered expectations we now have, I am pulling for the Celtics in regards to a championship contender.
For as much as I hate him, it would be a real shame if his body gave out on him this early. But yeah, if he's not 100% the East just became a two man show.

Garnett's antics wer unnoticed when he was in Minnesota because no one outside of Minneapolis saw the Wolves. But once he landed in Beantown, Garnett decided that he could act like an idiot because he's a Celtic. I remember when he would play against the Rockets in Houston and he would just jaw nonstop, sometimes with no one around him.
Probably would have but he didn't have time to set up a skillzlab website so everyone could know what a hard working guy he is.
