PHILADELPHIA — Kevin Garnett Jersey[b] spread his arms, held out his hands, and said, “No excuses.”[/b] After shooting 5-for-13 in last night’s 89-86 loss to the 76ers, and shooting a combined 9-for-32 during the last two games, the Celtics [team stats] forward isn’t looking for an out. “Myself, I know I have to be more consistent and do a lot more,” Kevin Garnett Jersey said. “[b]Doc Rivers just says, ‘Be aggressive, be aggressive.’ We’re trying to figure it all out on the go, but still we have to get it done.[/b] “I’m not the one to make excuses,” he said. “The transformation is not an easy thing, but we have to fix it, and I’m sure we will.” That so-called transformation —Kevin Garnett Jersey’s word for all of the changes in the Celtics lineup — has nothing to do with how poorly the Celtics starters have played in the last two games. [b]Kevin Garnett Jersey, [b]Rajon Rondo [stats], Paul Pierce [stats] and Ray Allen haven’t supplied their usual spark.[/b][/b] “It’s on the starters,” said Rondo. “The new guys aren’t starting the game. Now, it’s on us.” Kevin Garnett Jersey agreed. “This is definitely on the four of us to get it done,” he said. Baby’s first steps Glen Davis took his first step back toward action at the team’s morning shootaround by taking shots and walking through plays with the second team. But the Celtics forward, who missed a fourth straight game last night with a strained patella tendon, will have to wait before his next game. He did not play last night against the Sixers. Tomorrow’s game against the Bucks, however, may be another matter. “He looked better, but he didn’t do enough,” said Rivers. “It was just skeleton work. Nothing strenuous. I do think he’ll play (tomorrow), though we don’t know for sure. “Delonte (West) is doubtful for (tomorrow), but we’re hopeful for next week,” Rivers said of the guard, who is recovering from a right ankle sprain. “We have a lot of games, so hopefully we’re going to get a lot of these guys.” Shooting stars Several Celtics looked on with amusement when Kobe Bryant went back out onto the American Airlines [AMR] floor to take extra shots following the Lakers’ loss to the Heat Thursday. |
