CELTICS NEED KG HEALTHY TO GO THE DISTANCE

Who is playing better on the Celtics than Kevin Garnett right now? Garnett is playing like he is 18 years-old again averaging 15.4 points per contest as well as 9.8 rebounds.  His defensive leadership is what makes this team the best one around, but KG went down Wednesday night and fans are asking the question, can this team win an NBA championship without KG?

His injury looked very similar to the one he suffered in Utah a few years back where he was lost for the season, but let's hope this is not the case.  It was said that it was not a knee injury which is always a good sign.  The Celtics played without him in the 2009 playoffs and they had no answer for Magic's Dwight Howard.  It would be just scary to see this team without KG again for an extended period of time.  He is the heart and sole of this defense and defense wins championships.  Let's hope for the best because I do not think this team can win a title without this guy even if Glen Davis, Marquis Daniels, Jermaine O'Neal, Perkins, Shaq, Delonte all contribute.  This guy's intensity and defense are no match for any other player on this Celtics team.
