After dropping two straight games, the Boston Celtics have now won two straight games, over the Phoenix Suns, and the New Orleans Hornets. Next up for the Celtics, the Miami Heat. Oh boy, that should be interesting. The Celtics will come into the game with a NBA best record of 57-15, while the Heat will come in with a NBA worse 13-59. Will the Celtics run it up? Will the bench a few guys? What will the Vegas line be on this one? I say Boston -19. I’d take the Heat, because I dont think the Celtics will run it up, and K.G. will sit for a lot of the game. After Miami, the Celtics will travel to Chicago, host Indiana, and then go back on the road to Charlotte, and Milwaukee. The Celtics have already clinched the #1 seed, and home court advantage through the entire Eastern Conference playoffs, and are now playing to clinch over the West. Currently Boston leads New Orleans(49-22), San Antonio(51-23), LA Lakers(49-24), Phoenix(49-24), and Houston Rockets(49-24). Really only a win or two will clinch the home court, then the boys can rest a bit.
If the playoffs started now, in the East the eighth spot would fall to the Atlanta Hawks, who are 32-40. In 9th place New Jersey sits at 31-43, only 2 games back, while Indiana is also only 2 game back with a 30-43 record, and Chicago sits in 11th place with a 29-44 record, 3 games behind Atlanta. Atlanta trails 7th place Philadelphia by 4.5 games, so most likely it will be Atlanta, New Jersey, Indy, or Chicago to face the Celtics.
Our boy, Kevin Garnett is having another MVP type season. He comes in scoring 19 points a game, grabbing 9.5 rebounds a game, 3.5 assists per game and 1.3 blocks per game.

Kevin Garnett says he would vote for Paul Pierce for NBA MVP this season.
I got Paul for MVP this year,” said Garnett, who won the award four years ago with Minnesota. “He does a lot of things, just little small things that people don’t see. There are only three people I like to watch on offense, and he’s one of them, man. He makes scoring look easy. He has an uncanny confidence about him that I love, cockiness and self-assurance.
“I told you, there is a reason why I came here. He’s one of the reasons”
Now come on K.G.- we love your teammate P.P. just as much as you do. But MVP? First of all, K.G., you ARE the MVP, and if it’s not you, you know Kobe, LeBron and T-Mac have alot to say about it. Just win the NBA title K.G., and no one will care who MVP was!

Our guy, Kevin Garnett is unlikely to return for his Minnesota reunion Friday night at the Target Center. Sidelined by an abdominal injury, it appears K.G. will remain seated.
Garnett has been out since January 25th, in the win over the Wolves at the Boston Garden.
The Celtics can afford to sit KG, with an 11.5 game lead over the Raptors in the division.

The Boston Globe is reporting our guy Kevin Garnett is going to be out until after the All Star Break. Celtics coach Doc Rivers’ had this to say:
“There are no guarantees until he’s 100 percent,” Rivers said. “If he’s ready for Cleveland, great. If he’s not, we’ll sit him. If he’s not ready for the next one [the Clippers], we’ll sit him. I’m not playing him until he’s 100 percent. That could be Cleveland. It could be after the All-Star break. It could be after that. He’s not playing until he’s 100 percent.”
We don’t like that news! Do the Celts really need Garnett back right now? Heck no! Do we want Kevin to be playing, and continuing his total domination of the National Basketball Association. Heck yes! Get healthy K.G!

Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett got the most votes in fan balloting for the National Basketball Association All-Star Game and will be making his 11th straight appearance and ninth career start. Garnett got 2,399,148 votes in worldwide balloting, the sixth-highest total in All-Star voting history, the NBA said yesterday in a statement. The game will be played Feb. 17 in New Orleans.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, last year’s top vote-getter, was second with 2,108,831 votes, while Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard was third with 2,066,991.
Guards Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat (1,608,260 votes) and Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets (1,246,386) will join Garnett, James and Howard as Eastern Conference starters.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant received 2,004,940 votes to lead all Western Conference players, with Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony second with 1,723,701 votes.
Also voted as Western Conference starters were Houston Rockets center Yao Ming (1,709,180 votes), San Antonio forward Tim Duncan (1,712,800) and Nuggets guard Allen Iverson (1,203,152).
Only Miami center Shaquille O’Neal has more All-Star appearances (14) among active players than Garnett, who was traded to the Celtics last summer after playing his first 12 NBA seasons with the West’s Minnesota Timberwolves.
Making Appearances
Bryant and Duncan were picked for their 10th All-Star Games; Kidd and Iverson their ninth; Yao his sixth; James and Wade their fourth; and Anthony and Howard — the only first-time starters — their second.
Doc Rivers, who has led Boston to a league-best 33-7 record, will coach the Eastern Conference, while the Western Conference coach hasn’t been determined.
The coach of the team with the best winning percentage in each conference by Feb. 3 is selected for the All-Star Game, but Phoenix’s Mike D’Antoni is ineligible after leading the Western Conference last year.
The reserves for the game will be announced Jan. 31 after being selected by the NBA’s 30 head coaches.
