Old School v New School: KG vs. Love (Celtics vs. Muskies)

Love said during Friday’s shootaround that he grew up idolizing the likes of Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Chris Webber. In fact, he said he still probably has his old Garnett jersey hanging up in his closet back home.
Tonight, he’ll go head to head with his idol who, coincidentally, used to be face of the franchise he now leads. But even as Love puts up unprecedented numbers in March—he currently leads the league in points, rebounds and 3-point field goals this month, something no other player has ever done in the 3-point era (1979-80)—he said the only real comparison between the two All-Stars is the first name they share.
“It’s really an unfair comparison,” Love said. “He’s a once in a generation player, once in a lifetime player. If I can do some of the things he did for this franchise, it would be nice. But more than anything I just want to win, and he brought a lot of winning years to this franchise. Hopefully I can emulate that.”

Has Pek been shot or what?
Anyway I expect this game to get heated. KG is going to go after Love if the game is close and Love will need to keep his cool. KG got Al Jefferson riled up the other day it was kind of funny.

KG probably get booed, He has turned into a big douche since on the celtics, and thrown the wolves under the bus with the recent comments I read.

He threw management under the bus, not the fans.

KG still loves the fans here, but said as far as the Timberwolves organization goes, he doesn't have anything nice to say. Probably because of GT saying KG tanked at the end of his career here.

Anyone want to guess we lose by three again? That would make it the 4th straight time.

That's good news. I'm assuming they'll go with Rondo and Bradley like they had been.

I never noticed it before, but KLove's number 42 is two times 21.

I don't think that you can say that love is better than KG yet. Kg has proved too much. I believe in the future though.
