Martell vs KG

[THE HCP]

People around here have a right to be a little nervous about Martell being out as long as he has. But at least he's in there runnin' with the guys at the PF. This cat KG still isn't even cleared to play yet!!!!!!! This is from ESPNInsider-

Kevin Garnett is progressing in his recovery from knee surgery, according to president of basketball operations Danny Ainge.

"Kevin looks good, he's in here working out every day," Ainge told The Boston Globe. "He's doing his training, but he's not playing full-court basketball yet. We're taking it as slow and as cautious as we can with him. He's anxious and he has a ton of energy, but I think he gets it.

"We don't have bodyguards on him to keep him from working too hard. He's on the program with the staff. We don't have timetables on this. We are going week to week and we'll make a decision on where he is."

It should be mildly disconcerting that KG has yet to play full-court ball less than two weeks before training camp. If Garnett can't go to start the season, Rasheed Wallace, signed as a free agent this offseason, could start in KG's place. During the 2009 Playoffs, Glen Davis started at power forward.

Dude you have been hitting the sauce again haven't you? There is a difference between a player who you know how good he is coming back, as compared to one who you are hoping might be average when he comes back.

Nah, just comparing their readiness for training camp. Remember all those people saying KG will be ready to come back for the playoffs. If he isn't cleared to play full court yet, his injury had to have been worse then they are letting on.
