THIS IS ME LETTING GO

by Sooze, Babes Love Baseball

In the sophic words of Joan Jett, "I hate myself for loving you."

During The Big Three's debut Friday night, Kevin Garnett shone brightly in his new, fancier home, putting up 22 points and 20 boards for the Boston Celtics in their 103-83 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Before this offseason, when my favorite player was traded away from my favorite team, I spent nearly half of my life watching my first love dominate the floor... mostly in the agony of defeat with the Minnesota Timberwolves stacked evenly atop his broad shoulders.

Now, with a new veteran leader on a young and inexperienced Wolves team, it's time for me to let go and begin a nice, healthy rebound relationship.

It's been real, KG.
