Have we recovered from last night yet? No? Then you probably won't want to read Sam Mitchell gushing about how great Kevin Garnett is.

To my utter amazement, a few commenters on CelticsBlog agree that KG should have received a technical for taunting Calderon.

Speaking of Smitch, prepare for a shock because Doug Smith defends his decision to have Kapono cover Pierce down the stretch.

Kendrick Perkins talks about his ongoing beef with Jermaine O'Neal. I don't know if you caught this during halftime, but when Sherman Hamilton asked about his confrontation with Perk, J.O. said, "He knows he can't guard me. He's never been able to guard me." I'm not sure if that kind of bravado is good or bad, but it's definitely something new on this team.

Regarding Toronto's intensity deficit, I made a not-particularly-original suggestion on the Court Surfing blog.

Chris Bosh doesn't really "slam" Sam Mitchell as Dave Feschuk suggests, but he certainly calls some of his strategies into question — and this isn't the first time.

Can't say I disagree with Arsenalist's assessment of our beleaguered coach on Raptors Republic: "Sam Mitchell's playbook is thinner than a menu at a hot dog stand."

Antonio McDyess is officially a free agent.

Food Court Lunch has Jose Calderon facing his biggest fear: dancing?
