Big Ticket Punched Out For Game 2 Of Miami Series

((HT: ESPN/NBA))

Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 of Boston's first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat for landing an elbow to the face of Miami's Quentin Richardson in Saturday's Game 1.

Richardson was fined $25,000 for his role in the altercation.

After Saturday's game, Richardson sounded off on both Garnett and teammate Paul Pierce, calling Garnett and Pierce "actresses" and noting that, "I don't like them, and they know it."

Game Two should be interesting...

Here's the fracas... Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown are witnesses...

Big Ticket, Small Fine...

For calling Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant "Michael F'n Jordan" the Boston Celtics Kevin Garnett was fined $25,000 for criticizing officials...

"Michael Foxtrot Jordan..."
Good work on live television... and the HQ is sure that Garnett had the money laying around in his locker...

Enjoy, but since it's not bleeped, Garnett is NSFW...

K.G. Might Be K.Oed For NBA Playoffs

It appears Kevin Garnett's strained knee is not progressing as anticipated and his availability to the Boston Celtics for the NBA playoffs appears to be in doubt.

Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said on WEEI Radio in Boston Thursday morning that K.G. was not ready to play and may miss the entire NBA Playoffs.

“I don’t see it. I just don’t,” Rivers said. “I’ve flipped completely, because I was watching him move (before) and he looked great."

Rivers told Garnett who shall we say was not real thrilled.

"He was frustrated. He was mad at me, mad at everybody. Then he understood," Rivers said. "He put up a fight. He's really frustrated, but that's Kevin. That's why we got him, because he cares so much."

Boston begins their playoff run Saturday against the Chicago Bulls.

Super Friends Press Conference in Boston

Here's a little bit of Kevin Garnett breaking out in song...
This is what happens when your teammate goes for 39 in a win...
In the spirit of that show on that TV network that's about to start up AGAIN with a fourth judge this time... I don't think they have anything to worry about.

Garnett would have been shown in the first episode or two and voted off the island...
