In response to the shooting guards decision to sign with the Miami Heat earlier this offseason, Celtics forward Kevin Garnett confirmed Wednesday that hes no longer on growling terms with longtime friend and former teammate Ray Allen. It is what it is. I will not be shouting at the top of my lungs in that guys face from now on, said Garnett, adding that he would never again roar at Allen in private nor would he engage in any pregame trash-screaming. He made a decision based on his family, and I respect that, but it does mean he cant keep expecting me to utter a deep howl of excitement whenever I see him. Garnett, who has not communicated with referee Ed Malloy for several years, announced that he was finally ready to start whispering threats in the NBA officials ear again.
