Phew!!!!

Here's hoping you had a great Christmas and are on the verge of a Happy New Year...

For Kevin Garnett, the Boston Celtics and all their fans...there will be rejoicing, as MRI results showed that KGs leg injury, which he suffered during the Celtics loss to the Pistons on Wednesday night, are negative.

While collectively Celtics players and fans held their breath over the fear that KG reinjured his knee, today's tests show the injury was nothing more than a calf muscle strain -- and that the knee is fine.

What this means is that the Cs Title 18 hopes are still alive -- assuming Rondo makes it back. It means KG will likely be out for only "a couple of weeks," according to Danny Ainge. It also means we are looking at a couple ugly weeks of basketball for the Cs, with the Green rolling out a lineup significantly lacking bigs, and players like rookie Luke Harangody will see an increase in playing time.

Do I care that the next few weeks might be tough to watch? No. Like last year when the Celtics coasted from January on, before becoming dominant right up until the last 4 minutes of the Finals...I say keep your elders rested and healthy until the post season begins -- then turn it on.

Hopefully the end result will be different and the next banner will be hoisted to the rafters. And a rested and healthy KG and Rondo will lead the team there.
