Big Baby, Garnett news

Sort of.

I just saw Sean Grande on New England Sports Tonight. His impressions were that Glen Davis is ok, and that it is not a serious injury, but it was just a pain Baby never experienced before.

Grande also said he thought Garnett could have played this week if it was the playoffs, but they're taking proper precautions and he thinks KG will play in Denver.

So nothing's for sure, but it's good news on both fronts.

Nice to have the record where we can be conservative (and have the reserves keep winning games).

Thats good to hear, I was hoping Big Baby was just being Big Baby.

I knew Garnett's abdomen would eventually heal with proper rest, but Baby's injury had me really concerned. I was relieved when I heard that the injury was to his quad, because it really looked like he blew his knee out when he he first went down. Let's hope our injury woes are now behind us, and we can look forward to a full and healthy roster for the 2nd half of the season and the playoffs. (Knock on wood!) And it sure would be nice to see Scot Pollard in action again.

Yeah, I heard that on EEI this morning. Could be much worse although bone bruises really hurt and could still have him sidelined for a few weeks. Anyone heard anything on Perk's return?

It sucks that he is injured. But, I am just happy that He should be back for the playoffs. He definitely adds another dimension to our FC that we are going to need.

I know he's not available, but someone like Nazr Mohammed would be unstoppable on our team. Look at what an undersized Leon Powe has been able to do. Nazr plays like a taller Leon. All we need is a quick defensive big with decent height, who is able to throw down open dunks and grab offensive rebounds.

Perk has been alright this year, but I still feel that the center position is the weakest on our team. Perk plays good defense, but he's just too slow on the offensive end.
