Patrick O'Bryant has frustrated Celtics fans because of his inability to contribute on a team that desperately needs a seven-footer to step up.  Apparently it frustrated Kevin Garnett too, because KG took O'Bryant aside after practice and took him to school:

Word from practice is that KG took POB aside after practice and worked him over. It was an intense… emphasis on INTENSE… one-on-one session. Garnett did everything from explain how a first step taken in a certain way will work… to getting up in O’Bryant’s face to “explain” things. Afterwards, KG explained that he’s sick and his leg hurts… but he’s there… in practice… and making sure guys like POB get the lessons he got when he was a young baller.

Let's hope this starts O'Bryant on the path to redemption.  The last thing the Celtics need is a $3 million bust on a team scraping for every cent it can to fill holes.
