Paul Pierce out two weeks

[Ken_Masters]

Looks like the Celts are gonna have to roll with Tony Allen and Bill Walker for a while.

dissapointing...i wanted magic to face celtics at full strength on christmas so no excuses...oh well

Shouldn't affect more than having KG , Rondo or Allen out. Pierce is the weaker link in those big 4 imho

'Quis and Baby are still out too. So Boston is missing 3 now.

[phoenix18]

How the hell do you get stabbed 11 times and play the whole season, and turn around and miss a Christmas Day game?

What? Did he get shot?

Watch out for Ray Allen though, he will be shooting a little more in Pierce's absence.

Watch Bill Walker come up from the Red Claws and have a big game. He's killing in the d-league.

so true, my opinion of u just keeps getting higher

[KB2009Champ]

OP, you need to change the title. He's out for two weeks. Its a bigger story that he's out for TWO weeks. Makes it seems like its only one game with that title.

Yep, i'm definitely looking for Ray to take on more of the scoring load. He'll need to get at least 25 to make up for the absence of Pierce.

I was just watching that Red Claws game on NBA TV. The arena was packed. There must have been around a 1000 people!

That's like half of Maine. Maybe 3/4.

That's cool. I am glad that the NBA is putting D-league teams in areas that the NBA has never been before. That was a very savy move by Mr.Stern if I might say so myself.

I don't think Ray should get that much FG attempts. That's not a wise idea, unless Ray starts getting hot. Garnett should get some and I think Perkins especially should get more touches.

[Ken_Masters]

I agree that Garnett and Perkins have to do more, but with Howard guarding Perkins, i just don't think he'll have the opportunity. If Ray was out, i would expect Pierce to pick up the slack and go for 30. Ray has been a great scorer all throughout his career. I think he's capable of getting 25-30 points in the absense of Pierce. Neither Tony Allen nor Bill Walker are great scorers. If Ray isn't providing that extra punch, i have no idea where the extra offense is going to come from.

I'm sure Ray can get 25-30 points; I don't doubt his abilities. I think the best chance to win the game is to give the big men more touches. If Perkins get more touches, that means more chances that Dwight Howard will foul Perkins. Once Dwight will be in foul trouble, then it opens up more high percentage shot opportunities for Ray.

Seriously? The all star game is what first comes out of your mouth?!?! Get a clue dude.



This really hurts us, short term, and long term. Not having Pierce is going to kill us. I hope Tony Allen plays like he has been the past week. We're about to see a lot of SCAL from now on and thats never good except for an energy boost for a second.

This 2 week stretch, if we struggle, might prove costly as it will make our chances at HCA even more difficult.

GET WELL SOON CAPTAIN!!!!

Sometimes Celtic fans underrating Perk and KG scoring abilities too.
But yea, Ray and Rondo scare to drive when Dwight is in the lane.

Lakers fans really need to let something that happened 2 years ago go. I'd be upset too if I lost in the fashion LAL did to Boston :D

Well since you can understand how that felt, you should also understand that we will keep bringing up Pierce's epic Oscar performance to sooth our sorrows. We can't help ourselves. That beat-down still brings on nightmares :oldlol: :oldlol:

Hahahaha. Ok. Deal.





Seriously though, hopefully we have no more injuries. We've already been without Big Baby, then we lost Quissy, now Pierce for a couple weeks. Hopefully everyone can get 100% healthy later in the season and we not have to worry about injuries anymore.

I wish we could make some simple trade and acquire a player like Trenton Hassell or maybe sign Bruce Bowen. Someone for cheap who is a decent defender and can hit an open jumper from time to time.

[ProfessorMurder]

This really hurts us, short term, and long term. Not having Pierce is going to kill us.

I just looked at the skedj, they only have 6 games in the next 2 weeks + 1 day:
@ Orlando
@ Clippers
@ Warriors
@ Suns
Toronto
@ Miami

Orlando and Phoenix are the only games that worry me. But Baby will be back after Orlando supposedly. That will help.

I'm thinking Pierce will play Miami since that's 15 days from last night...

[Killbot]

Sometimes Celtic fans underrating Perk and KG scoring abilities too.
But yea, Ray and Rondo scare to drive when Dwight is in the lane.

Which is why Perkins and KG should get more touches. :D
Ray will attack the basket when he recognizes that his shots has a very high chance of not being blocked (said that in an interview). If Dwight, a great shot blocker, is in potential foul trouble, that opens up more shots for everyone on the floor. Ray has good ball handles and he's a good passer, so that will benefit the team even more.

The more Ray is involved in offense, the more he's going to help the team. (More FTs = higher FG% in his FG attempts)

@ Orlando
@ Clippers
@ Warriors
@ Suns
Toronto
@ Miami

That schedule just got 3x tougher. I only see 2 wins there, against the Clips and Warriors.

That schedule isn't TOO brutal, but you know with the way Bos has been playing this year, losing to Indy and Philly and having to come back from 15 against Indy last night, you never know.

GS almost always plays us tough the last few years.

I would be very pleased if we went 4-2 during that 6-game stretch, but its more likely to be 3-3 or 2-4 if we mess up against GS or LAC.

Isnt that obvious?

[Bigsmoke]

A couple of weeks? what the fck? This cant be happening. Pierce was suppose to make his 8th allstar game this year. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Pierce gets a lot of votes and right now he has the 2nd more vote by a SF and the 4th most by a forward

[MMM]

Shouldn't affect more than having KG , Rondo or Allen out. Pierce is the weaker link in those big 4 imho

I disagree.


1) We have back ups for those other guys:
Sheed/Scal/ And Baby when he returns for KG
TA for Ray Allen
House for Rondo

But for Pierce we have TA playing out of position. I don't see either Ray or TA doing well guarding SF.

2) Pierce is Boston's closer.
in a close game Pierce has the ability to take over even if he is off like the other day. The Celtics are going to miss his ability to be a triple threat type player sure Ray is a sharp shooter but he can't create his shot or shots for others in the same fashion as a Paul Pierce.

@ Warriors seems like a game Celtic fans shouldn't worry about but the C's never win there well not in the last 6 years at least. Even last year when they were up close to 20 pt they found a way to lose @ Oracle.

Man, Pierce already missed an allstar game because he was injured, if this happens again I'm going to be devastated. :cry:

That schedule just got 3x tougher. I only see 2 wins there, against the Clips and Warriors.

2 weeks shouldn't have that much affect on Pierce making or missing the ASG. However, if you care about his legacy than you should know championships is what strengthen resumes not ASG. Perhaps Pierce is better off missing the ASG and getting rest so he is fresh for May/June.

Even without the capt I like their chances against Toronto and even @ Miami. Hell I wouldn't be suprised if they beat Orl and Phx but I don't count on it.

[sportin_life]

Pierce apparently had an arthroscopic wash out of the knee joint. Hopefully it will improve after the wash out and with antibiotics. But with joint infections, they can linger and it wouldn't be surprising to see him out longer than 2 weeks because they sometimes require repeated irrigations.

this thread sucks

[MMM]

this is a good time for Rondo to take the next step. He has been playing good lately avg'ing 14/11 this month but he is going to need to aggressively look for his offense like he did when KG went down last season.

Also this mgiht be a break through opportunity for Tony Allen. TA has looked solid so far in limited mins but he has always been a player who has been much better as a starter then a reserve. Hopefully he can be a nice surprise for the Celtics.

[All Net]

Looking at their schedule they will be fine.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Looking at their schedule they will be fine.

Yeah, the only teams they really have to worry about the next 2 weeks are Orlando, Phoenix and Atlanta who they play twice. Other than that they play the Clippers, Warriors, Raptors(twice), Heat and Nets.

They'll probably go 8-2 or 7-3 at worst.

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

You're nuts. You are not even keeping it realistic, and don't give me that "am I Celtics fan and I believe" BS. We're not winning this game without Pierce. Truthfully, I didn't think we were going to win with Pierce. Stan Van gundy is a crafty coach. I fully expect the double teams he was going to use on Pierce to now be focused on Ray Allen.

Magic by 10+

Its 1 game. I'm not saying the C's can beat the Magic is a series without PP (although that's not totally out of hand either), but if KG, Perk, and Sheed defend the paint and someone fills in for PP's point production, they can surely win. The Celtics without PP are still better than 75% of the teams.

[JohnnySic]

As a side note, Orlando has lost to Detroit, Oklahoma City, and Miami twice. The Celtics are better than all those teams even without Pierce, Daniels, and Davis. They can win tomorrow.

Pierce brings more to the table than just points production. I'm astonished that you think that. Pierce brings so many intangibles to the team.. i don't even want to get into that right now.

Magic are going to kill the Celtics tomorrow.

I dont think that, but they can cover for him for 1 game.

The Celtics without KG beat a comporable Magic team 3 times in their playoff matchup last year. If they can win without KG thye can also win without PP.

That's why I said "comporable". Last year's Magic team won 59 games. This year's Magic wont win many more than that, if it all.

LOL @ people still getting all butt hurt over something 2 years ago.:lol

[thejusman1]

From Rotoworld:


Coach Doc Rivers said Thursday he expects Paul Pierce (infected knee) to be sidelined for less than the two weeks reported in the original prognosis.
Rivers said Pierce's original return date was a "guesstimate by a doctor who never played basketball. I think it may be shorter than two weeks," he said.

Good news, but Pierce will still be out until early January.

Pierce = ultimate faker.

[CJ Mustard]

LOL @ people still getting all butt hurt over something 2 years ago.:lol They need something to make themselves feel better about the loss. Although PP was faking.

That's too bad because I think Orlando would beat them even if Pierce played. At least that way the Boston fans wouldn't have any excuses for losing.

[pete's montreux]

I like how Laker fans are pissed that Bostons best offensive player leaves a game, supposedly injured, to only come back and still beat LA.'

How long did he leave? 5 minutes? Probably 3-4 minutes of actual game play? And you still weren't good enough to make a run on a Paul Pierce-less Boston team? F*cking pathetic. LA literally had 0 chance of winning in 2008. You should've just forfeited the finals. :roll:

How long did he leave? 5 minutes? Probably 3-4 minutes of actual game play? And you still weren't good enough to make a run on a Paul Pierce-less Boston team? F*cking pathetic. LA literally had 0 chance of winning in 2008. You should've just forfeited the finals. :roll:

Who cares if LA has a literally 0 chance? I like how you assume that anyone who thinks Pierce faked his injury is a Laker fan. This is coming from a Bulls fan. Any non-biased Celtic fan would agree that that was one of the most embarassing moments in Celtic history. I'd rather be a fan of a bad sports team than a fan of an overly dramatic injury faker, Paul Pierce. :oldlol:

[Ken_Masters]

Lot of haters. Pierce had no reason to fake an injury in the finals. Makes about as much sense as all the David Stern conspiracy theorists.

It doesn't matter if he had a reason or not.

Fake: bogus: fraudulent; having a misleading appearance. Fake is a term used to describe or imply something which is not real. A document or other object created to look like a real object that exists.

Fact. Google them pictures. Pierce made it look pretty real. Yet, after that game there was never a document of an MRI examination, and much of the issue was pushed under the shed by the Celtic community. As a fan of basketball, we don't tolerate those actors also known as floppers and injury fakers. They are a pathetic excuse for real competitive basketball.

^ Paul Pierce's "fake" injury has ruined your life, I see.

[sirkeelma]

Boston down by 7 points in the 4th quarter... oh here comes Paul Pierce rolling into the court in a wheelchair. *rocky theme plays in the background* :ohwell:
Keep hating :oldlol:

You do realize you people are literally the only ones who remember this, right? No one else has any idea what the f*ck you're talking about. It's already been forgotten, but bitter fans of perennial losers like you will hold a grudge in their hearts forever.

Seriously man, that whole thing is a non issue to me. I literally forget about it until someone brings it up.

So true. (I'm not a Celtics fan btw)

[Agent_Zero]

huge loss for the C's. ray allen can fill it up of course but they need pierce's intangibles.

uhhh what intangibles does pierce bring besides his intangible injury?

[Real Men Wear Green]

I know what Karma is I'm not an idiot.
That doesn't mean that he isn't.

[JohnnySic]

I dont think Pierce faked his injury, but even if he had, who cares? :confusedshrug: Did it affect the play on the floor? Was it cheating? Its called gamesmanship; no different than trash talking, trying to get inside your opponent's head. If the pro wrestling-style selling of the knee injury had the desired affect, then PP should be applauded. :applause:

PS - football players do this all the time; faking an injury in the dying seconds to stop the clock. That's actually closer to cheating than what PP did, yet no one criticizes them.

*****ing is the one thing Laker fans are good for. Please don't take that away from them. Oh, and Merry Christmas to whoever wants one, even the *****ing Laker fans. Actually, not them. No Merry Christmas for Laker fans. Just this once: Go Cavs.

There there now, sounds like someone is catching feelings on the internet. There's more to life than hating on the Lakers. But if that's what you do for a living, so be it. BTW who nominated this guy for the moderator position? Probably the same guys who voted for George Bush in 04 :oldlol:

Woops did I just copy and paste what you said? Sounds dumb when you read it over again huh? You contribute nothing to this board aside from sheer attacks towards people who don't agree with you, which is kind of ironic since you somehow became a mod on ISH. :confusedshrug: No wonder there was a thread about a week ago to get you banned, which I suppose you deleted. Yes, it all makes sense now.

How can I delete a thread in the OTC? That's what I mean when I talk about your lack of intelligence. I don't have to justify my presence here to the likes of you, or anyone as dumb as you. The end.

Actually, it was a thread right here in the NBA forums started by PB. That's what I mean when I talk about your lack of intelligence. I don't have to justify my presence here to the likes of you, or anyone as dumb as you. The end.

Speaking of lack of intelligence, wait for it...

[JohnnySic]

Well, I was right again. That's the 10,478,391st time that's happened, for those keeping score...

[nbastatus]

Celtics fans already getting their excuses in order for the game vs Orlando on Friday :rolleyes:

Orlando beat Boston already this season, with KG, Rondo, Allen, Pierce etc in the Garden, what was the excuse that game? :lol

F*cking C's fans are pathetic! Always complaining about some sh*t. You guys are worse than Cavs fans!
:oldlol:

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

The Magic played terrible.

[west]

You're nuts. You are not even keeping it realistic, and don't give me that "am I Celtics fan and I believe" BS. We're not winning this game without Pierce. Truthfully, I didn't think we were going to win with Pierce. Stan Van gundy is a crafty coach. I fully expect the double teams he was going to use on Pierce to now be focused on Ray Allen.

Magic by 10+
:roll:

The Magic already beat the Celtics earlier in the year, on the road too. The Magic weren't at full strength either. So still no excuses. Better team will win.
Celtics is the better team i guess.

[TruthKGRay3412]

Boston by 10+ tomorrow.

Ahh I was close.:pimp:
