Kevin Garnett made just 3-of-9 shots and finished with six points and eight rebounds in Game 1 against the Heat.

“Kevin is the most unselfish player in the NBA,” teammate Delonte West said before yesterday’s practice at the University of Miami. “It kind of goes against his game. He makes the right play at the right time. Sometimes he passes up shots for the betterment of the team, and it works for us. But moving forward, I think we’re looking for him to start knocking down some of those shots that he’s accustomed to doing.”

The All Star forward attempted just four shots in 18 first-half minutes. …

“I think we just have to tell him to be aggressive when he gets the ball in the post,” point guard Rajon Rondo said. “He’s an unselfish guy, but we want him to be aggressive and try to take advantage of his matchup.”
