• A few tidbits from Dell’Apa’s round-up in the Globe this morning: Doc says KG yesterday “was walking for the first time without a different gait.” Good news: He’s not limping anymore. Bad news: I guess he’s been limping since Feb. 19? Just remember: Our trusty surgeon source told us this would take at least a couple of weeks, but that KG would likely come back 100 percent. Trust in the surgeon.
Also from Dell’Apa: Here’s Doc on playing Steph and Eddie House together, something I didn’t think he’d do as much as he has:
“I never looked at him as a 1 or 2 and I told him that. ‘You’re going to get the ball and you’re going to push the ball up and we’re going to play basketball.’ Our offense is more of a motion anyway. With him and Eddie [ House], whoever gets it on the break, that guy is the point guard.”
Finally, here’s Doc on the Mikki Moore v. Joe Smith debate:
Mikki is a gifted player – he’s long and athletic and he shoots. We’re happy with what we got. We felt we had to get Joe or Mikki. We couldn’t be left out in the cold. Whichever one [was available] first, we got. Joe is a tough defender; Mikki is longer. Joe, just from experience, could be a better defender, but we hope to educate Mikki.”
• Mark Murphy at the Herald is on Marbury duty, and he takes us through Steph’s decision to wear number 8. Or, more accurately, he quotes Steph saying weird things about why he took the number:
“It’s a personal fit for where I’m going,” said a cryptic Marbury, who said his only reason for the request was that it fit his desire for a fresh start.
