"Then I heard my friend and business partner, Christian "Boo" Jackson, say to me, "He's [Garnett] getting off the bus, he's coming man". I knew my opportunity was here so I had to make sure I didn't let my nerves get the best of me. Garnett got off the bus with a smile and greeted me like we've known each other forever. We small-talked talked briefly then I told him that I'd been waiting 20 years to meet him and traveled from DC to Denver for this current meeting. He was very appreciative and then I asked him, "Where were you on February 9th, 2003?" He paused and asked me the date again…

He said, "I was in the All-Star Game!".
I said, "I know, I was laying in a hospital bed watching you after I was in a car accident that nearly took my life.".

I told him about what he has done for my life and how I carry his number on my prosthetic eye and his demeanor changed. We talked more about it and he opened up a little about his current situation in dealing with the loss of Coach Saunders. Both of us were in tears by this point. He insisted on signing anything I had for him to sign and he expressed his respect by writing "LOYALTY" on the Wolves jersey and "The Big Ticket" on the Celtics. He also wanted to take a pic together holding the BiO shirt I brought to him.

He told me he'd definitely be in touch after I gave him my contact info. I had a text from him before I even made it back to our car that read: "It was real meeting you. KEEP GOING…KEEP INSPIRING US WITH ALL YOU DO AND CONTINUE TO DO. IT'S LUV BRO…lock my number in. Pleasure to meet you. -Tic" with an attached picture showing him wearing the BiO wristband."

Just need that one play dirty enough from Christina Pauline for a Jermaine O'neal'-esque punch from a player who gives 0 ****s.

It was my first and prob last time see him play in person, he will be missed when he retires

[h1]The Cruel Tutelage of the Wolves' Kevin Garnett[/h1]
And so in February 2009 the coach sat down his future Hall of Famer. Not to skip a game. Rivers just wanted him to miss a practice.

"Coach, you don't understand," Garnett seethed. "If I'm sitting, they will see weakness."

Relegated to the practice-facility sideline, pacing, growling and cursing to himself, Garnett pulled up suddenly, an idea churning, a maniacal grin creasing his face. He unleashed a howl; his teammates glanced in his direction. They knew something was about to happen.

This was, after all, the superstar who had once dropped to all fours and barked at Portland rookie point guard Jerryd Bayless; whose pregame ritual was a violent head-banging assault of, and concurrent conversation with, the basketball stanchion; who would years later express his umbrage at Dwight Howard's post play by drilling him with an impromptu head-butt in the first quarter of a 2015 regular-season game against Houston.

Garnett, forbidden to take the floor by his own coach, had concocted his revenge: He would track the movements of power forward Leon Powe, the player who had replaced him in the lineup. As Powe pivoted, so did Garnett. As Powe leaped to grab a defensive rebound, Garnett launched himself to corral an imaginary ball. As Powe snapped an outlet pass, Garnett mimicked the motion, then sprinted up his slim sliver of sideline real estate as Powe filled the lane on the break. The players were mirror images: one on the court with a full complement of teammates, the other out of bounds, alone. Two men engaged in a bizarre basketball tango.

"KG," Rivers barked, "if you keep doing this, I'm canceling practice for the whole team. That will hurt us."

Garnett's reverence for coaches was legendary, but still he turned his back on Rivers. He returned to his defensive stance, an isotope of intensity, crouched, palms outstretched, in complete concert with Powe. He was, in fact, becoming so adept at this warped dalliance he'd invented, he actually began to anticipate Powe's movements, denying the entry pass to his invisible opponent before Powe thought of it.

Finally, an exasperated Rivers blew the whistle. "Go home," Rivers instructed his team. Then he glared at Garnett. "I hope you're happy."

Garnett was far from happy. He was, at best, resolute. He'd told his teammates countless times that there was no such thing as a day off. Why couldn't Doc understand that the most effective way for him to lead was to show his teammates how it's done? "Let's work!" he screamed to his departing teammates, pounding his chest. "Let's work!"

Powe and the others wandered off, mystified.

"'What is he doing?' That's what we were saying," Powe recalls today. "And at that point you start wondering, Is KG maybe a little crazy after all?"

Jahlil screaming "we got money" makes me believe the victims story about Jah getting dissed by his girls and starting a fight and not because of being heckled
 
Tonight made me realize that Harrison Barnes is prob the 3rd most valuable piece of this team. If he got hurt, that would be a big blow to the dubs. If he leaves, that would be a big blow to the dubs... Thats why I dont see bob myers letting him walk. Hes Restricted, I cant emphasize that enough. Like this kid was a number 1 recruit coming out of hs. He'll match anything if he has too... He would definitely never let him sign with a west team....  I feel like his ceiling is so high. he's only 23......

So obviously resigning barnes and giving steph one of the biggest contracts in nba history is the only two priorities at this point. BARRING INJURY, this team going forward  can be very historical. I mean you might be  calling this jumping the gun a bit, and i agree. But theres nothing since the start of june last year that would make me think otherwise. Like just look at what they're doing. every night they are breaking some sort of record or getting some sort of accolade  or moving up among the ranks. like lets just take tonight by example... stephen curry passed Lebby at 35 on the all time 3 point pointers mad... By no means has lebron ever been a prominent 3 point shooter but like he just got surpassed by the "little kid" at that time when he used to go watch him in in those games at davidson. 

also they had 23 turnovers tonight, but 135 points in 48 mins..Wut
