I'm Gone... Now Get Over It!

Wednesday March 19, 2008

KG Says, Whatever, Taylor!

The Fig Cap: "Whatever!"

I bet you all think I'm talking about the Houston Rockets' 22-game win streak, right? Well, actually, no... but I'll get to that later. What I am speaking about is what Minnesota Timberwolves' owner, Glen Taylor, said about his former star - Taylor accused Kevin Garnett of "tanking it."

Yes, THAT Garnett.

If you've watched KG play to any degree, even if it's one minute, you know that he is all about effort and has a non-stop motor. What Taylor is talking about, I have no idea! But, it's over. Garnett is playing with the Boston Celtics, the owners of the Association's best record (hmm... interesting). Now get over it!

In any case, in a sort of fitting way (unless you're Glen Taylor), the Celtics cooled off the Rockets, the hottest team in the league and possessers of the second longest winning streak in NBA history. Guess who led the team in points (22), rebounds (11), blocks (2), and steals (3)?

Yeah, the "tanker."
