Garnett injury 01/25/2008

Odenized.com original video on YouTube

A look at a possible Kevin Garnett injury in tonight's game.

This from a report in the Toronto Star:

"It felt like I got sniped from the rafters or something," Garnett said. "I just had a sharp pain come from my stomach and I just wanted the doctors to look at it. They looked at it and said I was fine, so I came back out.''

The doctor said Garnett could go back in, but the trainer said no, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, holding one thumb up and one thumb down. Eventually, Garnett begged his way back on to the court."

While it could have been a bad cramp, the sideline reporter said Garnett went "onto one knee for about a minute before preceding into the locker room." This was a very painful thing for Garnett. Hopefully, it won't turn into something lingering.

Have the C's gone to great lengths to conceal pain in their fearless leader? Is this a reoccurring problem for Garnett that's been pushed under the table?

It's quite certain Garnett has been getting less minutes this year. Might it be to save his ailing health?

Well, probably not, but it's fun to guess.

Luol out for a long time

K.C. Johnson of the Chi-town (Chicago) Tribune reported this afternoon that Bulls forward Luol Deng will be missing many weeks due to a heel injury.

Believe you me, stressing your Achilles is about the worst injury known to man. If not torn but still bad enough, an Achilles injury can sideline a player up to two months.

Luol may never be the same player ever again. A injury like this is likely to bother you for the rest of your life.

In other news, the Bulls season is already tanked.

In yet another blow for the Bulls, interim coach Jim Boylan said Wednesday that forward Luol Deng would be "shut down" for "a significant period of time" because of his sore left Achilles.

This is great news to people like myself who have money hedged on the Bulls not making the playoffs. Make your bets now before they find out the news!

Run! This is the last time in the foreseeable future that the Bulls may not be contenders for the NBA Championship. This might be the final straw that causes GM John Paxson to pull the trigger on one of his two million trade offers on the table.

Plus, with a little lottery ball luck coming up, the Bulls might be able to land a top draft pick this summer. Derrick Rose back in Chicago to run with his hometown Bullies, anyone?

I would die.
