Mike Gorman getting chalked etc.

[Ryan W]

You have a point JB, but who is ever going to tell
Kevin Garnett what to do?  Mike is a class act, and
even if he's uncomfortable he knows it's not his place
to speak up.  KG is an entertainer, and that's part of
his shtick and pre-game psych-up routine.  And on the
level of shtick, it's not so bad.  I think Mike has
dealt with his dousing with humility, grace and humor,
despite what his face might belie.  I guess these are
the things that fans of a 14-2 team get to discuss :)
