As a long-time Timberwolves fan, it’s hard not to be happy for Kevin Garnett as he goes through his first NBA Finals appearance as a player; after trying to win a gold bangle or two during a dozen years in Minnesota, the Big Ticket is finally realizing his dream.
As I write this, Boston’s making a hard second-half push to win Game Four and take the series back home to Boston with a 3-1 advantage over the Lakers. Strangely, the big stars on both teams are relatively quiet; Garnett has only 14 points for Boston and Kobe Bryant has a mere 13 ponits for the Lakers.
The score is 83-82 as I write this, with the Lakers up by one. Here’s hoping and praying that Garnett can pull out the road win with the help of Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. It’d be a great feather in Garnett’s cap after too many years surrounded by not enough talent to get the job done in Minnesota.
