Celtics vs Phily

[Saltheart]

Unfortunately Pierce is all but dragging his leg up and down the court. You could see numerous times where his knee was "giving out" as he mistepped or tried to stop quick. I'm worried we lose him for the rest of the playoffs soon. I'm also worried he hurts it worse by playing, so that whole thing is not good.Forgot to add that with Pierce totally dragging his leg , Phily doesn't even bother to defend him. instead , garnett gets double teamed. What a mess!

We defintely should have won last night but that's the way the ball bounces.

Go Celtics

Yeah, Paul should've sat out the first game. He's hurting the team in the long run. But I still trust him more than anyone else on the team...

I don't know about game 1 but by game 2 he was so noticeably worse I am surprised they played him. Maybe with a 4 day stretch to recover he could make some progress. You got to really question the strategy of playing him when he's so gimped up. I mean I'm all for players palying with some injuries but if enduring the pain is for nothing because your legs just won't work then give him a game off.

I also still say Rondo has gone too far in the showboating direction. yes he is contributing a lot but all the razzle dazzle he's attempting is costing turnovers and his last minute shovel offs to up his assists tally is costing us layups he could just toss in.

Anyway , big game tonight!

Go Celtics

I'm not a basketball fan at all, but this has to be the best team song ever written.
