From the Globe:

During an interview with WEEI this afternoon, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said the team wants Garnett to remain a presence during games even though he won't play. Garnett, whose intensity is legendary, chooses to watch games from the locker room rather than the bench when he is injured because it frustrates him to not be able to contribute. Grousbeck said the Celtics want him to change his policy during the postseason.

"I think that's essential, and I think we're going to ask him to do that," Grousbeck said. "I think Doc, Danny [Ainge], everybody will make it clear that we'd like his presence out there. He is a warrior in every way. I mean, unusual sounds strong, but he is the most different guy any of us has ever met over here. He just does it in his way, and it works, and he became Defensive Player of the Year, MVP formerly, and now a champion. It's Kevin Garnett, it's not anybody else. There's never been another one like him.

"If he needs to sit in the locker room just to be able to keep his head together, we can respect that. And it actually worked pretty well for us in the regular season. But I think, playoff-time, we'd like to have him out on the bench."

Grousbeck admitted that Garnett's situation only secures top-seeded Cleveland's position as the favorite in the Eastern Conference.

"They earned home court, they earned the best record, they are clearly a championship-quality team, and in my opinion they have the best basketball player on the planet right now . . . Mo Williams," Grousbeck said, his sense of humor apparently intact. "They are the favorites, and there's a reason they're the favorites, and we're going to have to do something really heroic to get them. I respect Cleveland, and wouldn't be surprised if they won the whole thing. But I'm going to do everything I can to prevent it."

any questions about the injury....about how up till a couple of days ago he was expected to play and now all of a sudden is out...

this report makes it seem like it's not even an important topic....and was some kind of foregone conclusion....

so strange.

Mo Williams is a pretty good basketball player. Yeah we are up against it. KG needs to be on the bench yelling for his teammates (and yelling at him too).
