Rivers: KG Could Miss Entire Postseason

Did you hear that?? That was the Cavs screaming for joy as the news that there's a "strong" possibility that Kevin Garnett misses the 2009 playoffs came across the wire. Check out what coach Doc Rivers had to says to WEEI-AM this morning:

"He's not going to be ready. After watching him practice, there's no way... The way I saw him move today, I don't know if he'll be ready... If he can't get through biking and working out without swelling and his leg locking, I don't know how you can play in the playoffs... This was an honest run today, you couldn't make your way through it. The guy's a warrior, you see him try to mask his way through it. But after 20 minutes of running, I don't see it. After today, there's no way he can play."

Sad, sad stuff. This totally changes the whole dynamic of the playoffs in the East! Watch out for the Bulls in the first round, D. Rose and the boys won't be a push over in the first round. We might see another series like we did in the first round last year against Atlanta. Boston fans should be terrified!

Now that this news has hit, can we skip the playoffs and just fast forward to the Lakers/Cavs NBA Finals?? We all know its gonna be Kobe vs. LeBron so why wait??
