While it’s hard to quibble with the results in Boston the last two years – 66 wins and an NBA title in 2007-08 and 62 wins in 2008-09 – Garnett sees “rest” as a four-letter word. Intuitively, of course, he understands he can’t be Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell and log 48 minutes a game. But that doesn’t mean he likes to sit out, either, and he and Rivers are trying to reach an agreement as to how much the perennial All-Star will be used. Rivers will get the last word. Garnett will get in a few words – actually, lots of them. Rivers actually thinks he can get Garnett even more rest this season with the addition of Wallace.

Even more curious. I wonder where the conversation started? A Waltonesque 18? Perhaps lower, 8 per half? Where will the conversation end? 24 MPG? 28?

I think KG will play around 28-30 mpg this season. With Sheed here there is no need to play him more.
Except for Doc's belief in rhythm. What if KG says I need to play 31 to keep my rhythm?
