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

Fck my life.

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

:roll:
I'm going to hit up quite a few games in the near future... Nice to know there's a good crowd. There was about 3,600 at the first game I went too.
He is faking it.
Will have a dramatic X-Mas intro in the second half against the Magic.
Lucky Lakers

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.

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.

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...

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)

:cry:
Man, Pierce already missed an allstar game because he was injured, if this happens again I'm going to be devastated. :cry:
Everybody already knows not having Pierce is going to kill us. Seriously, we're going to get creamed by the Magic on X-mas. I'm thinking more about Pierce's career and legacy.

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.

Will Reggie Evans be back yet? He seemed to give KG fits last year.
