#Celticstalk The #Celtics will be without Kevin Garnett. He is not with the team due to a personal matter.

#Celticstalk The #Celtics don't expect him to rejoin the team in time for tomorrow's game at the #Mavs, either.

Maybe, maybe not. We don't really know what it is, so it may be no big deal for the team, just more pt for JJJ for 2 games. I hope KG's family is ok though, it sounds like something along the line of family issue.

It's been reported as family-related, but not immediate family. I think that usually means it has to do with his wife's parent or sibling, but it could be something else.

We know KG is incredibly private so I don't expect much info about this.

No KG and if Paul Pierce stands around on the court looking like he 65 years old and lost , it doesn't look so good for us.

2 games without KG, 2 losses.

To all the people that are saying Blow it up and we are going to loose the next two games can get bent!

He's handling personal matters, that could be painful to him or his wife and family and your worried about games and the season?

Some of you guys need to grow up, KG is acting like a MAN and handling his responsibilities to his family.

So some RESPECT!

Let's hope for the best; KG's matter is not life-threatening for anyone and is resolvable.  If so, KG missing a back-to-back is OK with me. Frankly, it may be in the C's best interest to rest him till April and see where we are. A healthy KG and seasoned JJJ may represent the C's best chance to make noise.

Hope for the best for KG, but this will be two losses and a slide into the 8th spot. They should get comfy there, because it likely is where they will end up.

Probably weren't going to win anyway.  Hope everything clears up for him

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Hope everything is ok with him.

Not good for our win/loss column, I suspect.
