Garnett "not surprised at all" by suspension

Kevin Garnett practiced today with the Celtics' second team and then addressed the media in reaction to his Game 2 suspension for elbowing Miami's Quentin Richardson in Boston's 85-76 Game 1 win on Saturday.

He appeared to accept the decision and was rather lighthearted during the 4-minute session.

"I wasn't surprised at all to be honest," he said. "I told my man Jeff Twiss (Celtics PR man) this morning when we talked I just want the message to be done. Obviously, I want all of this to be over with. The message here is that whoever it is, my teammates, Doc Rivers, anybody in this organization, I want them to know I got their backs. My elbow wasn't deliberate. But the league does what it has to do to set a tone and I respect and now it's time to move on and get back to a wonderful series."
