The Return of K.G will me more foul language but also improved D and it should help out on offense as well.
by James Borbath at 1/23/2010 12:30:06 AM
It has been 25 days since K.G has suited up for a game in Boston Green and White.
by James Borbath at 1/23/2010 12:30:39 AM
Dec.28th was the date.

by James Borbath at 1/23/2010 12:32:37 AM

You would think that Celtics will monitor K.G's minutes in his first game back but will see.
by James Borbath at 1/23/2010 12:36:40 AM
Doc Rivers " He is more concerned about K.G's wind" in this one.
by James Borbath at 1/23/2010 12:37:46 AM
