can be the difference between winning #18 this season, or not winning #18 for many years.  Never before did I think a team's title hopes could hang in the balance over and MRI. Bleh!
Just a small point regarding your name...17 wasn't easy.  It took 20 years to get there.  Actually, none of the first 17 championships were "easy", which is what makes it such a great accomplishment.  18 is going to be tough, too...but is doable.  No one has gotten through a season undefeated yet.

While it's looking much better than what it could have been, I'm still holding my breath until he hits the court with the same jump he's had all year.  We don't just need KG on the floor to win, we need a 100% healthy KG to take the title.

He wasn't 100% last year and we were within a Perk injury of winning the title, and we are deeper this year.

Not that I don't want him healthy but just saying.  You might be right because of the greater challenge the Heat will present us with.  Let's just hope he will be fine.



And yeah, people can't always walk on torn ACLs or injuries.  It depends.  I've seen a friend tear his ACL and he couldn't walk that's for sure.

Best thing to take from it is that they didn't put him on a crutch on the way out.  That's gotta be a good thing.

Yup.

TP for the pic with tan jacket santa.

That's Carl! house super fan.  My seats are right behind his.  Be at the game tomorrow night.

Do they know something already about the medical tests?

I have a feeling we aren't going to get a straight answer.  If it is, in fact a muscular pull, what you're going to hear is that he's going to be day to day... for at least a week is my guess.  After that it might be reduced minutes, days off, whatever.  There isn't going to be a straight black or white answer.

Danny says he thinks KG will be out 2 weeks at most, but doesn't sound too sure.

Yup...this from Twitter.

Update: Kevin Garnett has a muscle strain in his right leg. MRI results came back negative. He will likely miss a "couple of weeks".
