Garnett on Philly's 'fair-weather fans'

BOSTON - Boston Celtics forward-center Kevin Garnett didn't do much to endear himself to the Philadelphia fans, who are bound to give him a less-than-rousing welcome Wednesday night in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Sixers.

BOSTON - Boston Celtics forward-center Kevin Garnett didn't do much to endear himself to the Philadelphia fans, who are bound to give him a less-than-rousing welcome Wednesday night in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Sixers.

Following the Celtics' 101-85 win on Monday at TD Garden that gave them a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, Garnett was asked to compare the Boston and Philadelphia fans.

"Not even close, not even close,'' Garnett said. "You got fans and then you got fair-weather fans. Take it how you want it.''

We're sure the Philadelphia fans will take it only one way - as an insult.
