KG was amazing in defense and offense. He was aggresive he was scoring in the paint from mid-range he was rebounding and most importart he was leader. If he continue to play like this we will beat the Magic.

Congratulations to the Bostn Celtics and to all of you Celtics fans!!!

I think this might be my favorite game by KG as a Celtic.  He came out on a mission.

His offense is 100% back, I'm not so sure about the D.  He's playing well, but he was an absolute maniac in `08.

Really loving seeing KG take the team on his back though.  Huge will to win to tonight.
Yup

KG was HUGE tonight!! Great shooting the ball and he came up with HUGE boards in 4th and the closing minutes, plus a crucial bucket.

Win or lose that has to be the big story of these playoffs for the C's.  It seemed for a long time, like he'd never really be a great player again....and he just came up huge in this series.

The future is a heck of a lot brighter than it was a month ago, that's for sure.....

He's not the 2008 KG, he can't elevate or move the way he did then.

But he played liked a all nba big man tonight, and that's all this team needs.

I wouldn't go that far, but as a devout KG fan for more than a decade, I can say I no longer cringe watching him play like I did earlier in the season.

I tend to think he'll be closer to 2008 Garnett in 2011 than he was in 2009-2010 - despite his age.

He's playing really well and it's been a joy to watch.
