Here are some notable comments following last night's game:

Rasheed Wallace (Yahoo! Sports via AP):

“It’s going to work out to be dangerous,” Wallace said. “He’s (KG) excited, he’s ready to go. I feel the same way. I’m always hyped up. I’m playing with a good team, I’m playing with a bunch of guys who know how to play this game.”

Kevin Garnett (Boston.com):

“I felt good, I thought I ran well,’’ Garnett said. “Sprint-wise I was not where I want to be. I didn’t play for a whole quarter and, after six months, you’ve got to warm it back up, you know what I mean? For the most part, I felt great out there, I wasn’t hesitant out there, there was no pain. I’m still not where I want to be. Like I said, it’s progress.’’

"Obviously, playing against the guys we have on this team every day, you have no choice but to get better. I just wanted to see where I was. For the most part, the talking, reaction, it was all there for me. Everything’s coming back. Doc’s on my rear end about attacking and being aggressive, and all that’s just flow. The game is so fast and I was just trying to take it all in and let it all come back to me. It’s all flow. It’s all repetition and getting back into the flow. Like a kid in a candy store, running around with his head cut off; I just have to slow down a little bit.’’

"They got his leg on life support. When I was hurt, they told me to go home, take some Robitussin and put some ice on it."

“I think I’d be scared,” he said. “You keep hearing stories about all of those drug cartels, and tourists getting jacked, and people pushing drugs. I’m gonna stay right at home, man.”
