Man, I know the team and the fans were missing him, and I was missing him too. But I think I truly realized how much his presence was needed when he made his return to the lineup against San Antonio.

After a rusty first quarter, he came back in the third and was unstoppable on offense. He put up all his points (10) in this quarter if I recall correctly. Moreover, it was nice to see the connection between Kevin, Ray and Paul back : I was cheering as if it was the first games of last year with the Big Three when Ray and Paul gave him some great dishes in the paint which turned into powerful dunks!

In only 15 minutes (nice coaching by Doc to keep him out of the game even at the end) Garnett brought his usual value (offense, defense and intensity) and I'm glad he is 100% healthy (he ran like he never did before this season). Welcome back Big Ticket! :)

Yup. I thought he looked fresh, had a real bounce in his step. Garnett was better than I expected in the limited minutes.
