Doc Rivers shook his head. No NEW news on Kevin Garnett.
Shocking. Unfortunately, we just have to wait.
Tony Allen will likely see action tonight, Rivers says.
Nothing too crazy going on here. Acie Law and Marvin Williams are out for the Hawks.
Doc, a Chicago native, likes the Jay Cutler trade. He has an opinion on everything. With just a tad bit of practice, he’d be BY FAR the best radio host in this city if he ever chose to do radio when he’s out of coaching.
He’s smart, informed and he loves to talk…but I digress.
Pitt guard Jermaine Dixon just left the game with a leg injury.
This priceless exchange was just brought to my attention. It happened during the UConn press conference after the Huskies beat Missouri today to earn a trip to the Final Four.
Reporter: Hakeem? Hasheem Thabeet: It’s Hasheem. Reporter: I’m sorry. Or I could just call you beast, right?
I think I’m going to try and call Kevin Garnett by a different name. Let’s see what he says to me.
Villanova is rolling. The Wildcats are up 10-5. Scottie Reynolds, the 6-foot-2 junior guard from Herndon, Va., already has five points. The kid has blazing speed. Pitt squeaked by against Xavier. There’s no chance the Panthers will be able to do that tonight.
Once again, Jamie Dixon looks like he’s going to blow a gasket. Pitt just made a defensive stop, then turned the ball over. Sloppiness ain’t gonna work against ‘Nova.
The Garden isn’t quite at capacity yet. I’d say about 70 percent. Pitt’s Oakland Zoo fan section, which is right behind me, is pretty loud already. No buckets in the first six possessions before DeJuan Blair scores the first of the game, as my colleague Chris Ryan points out.
