Why should White start instead of Jaylen? Should be a typo right?

Sunday, not Friday boss (game thread title)...Celebrating KG's jersey retirement and St. Paddy's a bit early?... Go Celtics!...They had better win with KG in the house!...He will give them hell otherwise... Sorry Elvis to put a damper on those who love KD. I’m not a fan of Doc Rivers & not in love with KD as many of you might be. Had we beaten the Lakers in 2010 and got another banner which would have been 2 for both Doc & KD, I would not have morned this loss not now for 12 years. Maybe this will or won’t open wounds for some of you but I have posted this opinion a few times before. I wish we had picked up Gasol (and relatively cheap too) when he became available but he was not part of our youth movement and he was classified as being “soft” and I disagree and felt he’d be a good role model too for our youngsters but also help rebounding something we’ve lacked past many years. In my opinion, he is probably the main reason we lost in the finals in 2010 vs Lakers. Yup, I know we lost Perkins in Game 6 and in the finals they got the egregious difference of 42 foul shots to our 18 and just 21 in critical Qtr #4 when we had a 13 pt lead end of Qtr #3. We had two 7 footers, Rashid Wallace and Garnett, but they seemed, especially Sheed, more interested in shooting 3s as we were losing the rebound advantage substantially, especially in the 4th Qtr. We had PP & Allen to do that with Rondo driving to the basket. They killed us with reb advantage 53 to 40 (I mean 13 extra chances) and only shot 38% and we did 42% but the extra chances killed us. Gasol schooled KG out rebounding him 18 to 3. What else was painful was that Kobe shoots 6 for 24 or 25% and was MVP. He’d been a goat had they lost. I like Kobe, don’t get me wrong. Sorry if any you feel I am crying about that game…a fan has a right to lament. Again, beating dead horse, it was because of the foul shot difference true but also because we were out rebounded. One of the reasons many posts I’ve said I like a strong presence in the paint…more rebounds can make up for bad shooting nights. Some comments in the media were that it was a "Tainted Tinsel Town “ victory !!!

Good position doesn't help if they can push you from behind

Kevin Garnett's Top 5 Performances with the C's
Kevin Garnett brought an unmatched level of intensity into every game that he played for the Celtics throughout his six seasons in Boston, and that often led to his domination of the opposition.
As the Celtics get ready to retire his No. 5 jersey patch to the rafters Sunday afternoon, we’re taking a look back at five of the most spectacular performances that helped enable KG to earn his place among the franchise’s legends.
Here's what happened...
When it comes to first impressions, Kevin Garnett couldn’t have left a better one upon Celtics fans. His debut performance against the Washington Wizards on Nov. 2, 2007, happened to be one of the best of his career, as he tipped off the season to the tune of 22 points, 20 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and three blocks in a 103-83, blowout win at TD Garden. For KG, it was the only 20-20 performance of his tenure in Boston, and it just so happened to come in his very first game in a Celtics uniform. It also set the tone for his Defensive Player of the Year campaign and was the first of many steps he took in helping the franchise carve out its path to the 2008 title.
Here's what happened...
The 2008 Eastern Conference semifinals was known for its battles between Paul Pierce and LeBron James. However, in Game 5, Kevin Garnett got in on the action as well. While James (35 points) and Pierce (29 points) led their respective teams in scoring, Garnett was without a doubt the player of the game, as he recorded 26 points on 12-of-19 shooting, 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks during 41-plus minutes of turnover-free action. His combined effort with Pierce, along with a 20-point, 13-assist performance from Rajon Rondo, helped Boston snag a 96-89 win at TD Garden, giving it a 3-2 lead in the series against Cleveland.
Here's what happened...
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat was remembered for two reasons. It was the game where Rajon Rondo dislocated his elbow and somehow played through the pain while dishing out 11 assists. And it was the game where Kevin Garnett dominated Miami’s Big 3 with the best rebounding performance and one of the highest-scoring efforts of his Celtics postseason career. KG logged game-highs of 28 points and a career Celtics playoff high of 18 rebounds, to go along with one assist and two steals. He also didn’t commit a single turnover during his 38 minutes of action. On the defensive end, he held Hall-of-Fame big man Chris Bosh to just six points and five boards, while also helping to limit LeBron James to just 15 points, while leading the Celtics to a 97-81 win for their first victory of the series.

KD has 40 after 3! Hasn't even broke a sweat yet! Best scorer I've ever seen. And I've seen curry and the iceman. Damn, turnover. Good news is, no overtime. On to the important game.

KG Cont'd:
Here's what happened... The Atlanta Hawks were just over 30 seconds away from capturing Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference quarterfinals over the Celtics and sending the series back to Atlanta for a Game 7. However, Kevin Garnett had other plans in mind. With 30.4 ticks left on the clock, KG knocked down a go-ahead mid-range jumper that would launch Boston past the Hawks with an 83-80 win and into the East semifinals. That shot capped off a stellar effort for Garnett, which included 28 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and five blocks – a playoff career-high with the Celtics. Not to mention, this all came just a week shy of KG’s 36th birthday, as he showed the world that he still had plenty left in his tank.
Here's what happened....
Kevin Garnett poured his heart and soul into bringing a championship banner to Boston, and his efforts culminated on June 17, 2008 with the most important performance of his entire career. Garnett and the Celtics entered Game 6 of the Finals with a 3-2 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers, and he helped bring down the hammer on their archrival in a 131-92 title-clinching drubbing. KG logged game highs of 26 points and 14 rebounds, to go along with four assists, three steals, and one block. He also went mistake-free, not committing a single turnover during his 36 minutes of action. As green and white confetti rained down upon his face postgame, Garnett famously screamed, “Anything is possible!” One thing is for certain: that 2008 championship run would not have been possible if he hadn't turned in such spectacular performances along the way.

We are the hottest team in the league and Jaylen has been our weakest link since his injury. Everybody watch out after he gets back in real shape.
