Pierce Likely Out, Daniels Has Flu

That really sucks. Hope Quis can play, but I want him to get better.

When will our whole team play together?!

Figured Pierce would be out due to the thumb if nothing else, but was holding onto the slimmest hope that it might somehow get better fast. Now the flu too! And Marquis! After the loss in Denver and the ugly win last night and now this news, is there anyone who believes we can still beat the Cavs tomorrow? Anyone? I’d like to think we could, but I’m already bracing for the ribbing I’ll take here in Ohio on Fri. I’d like to use the excuse that we were shorthanded; however, I didn’t want to hear that excuse when we beat LA. So it works both ways, I guess. Well, I’d rather it happen now than in the playoffs!

….forfeit the game, take a nice long vacation till Saturday, work on Nate’s game, relax.

This is embarrassing lol. Rondo is the spokesperson for the flu vaccination. I guess his teammates didn’t see his commercials.

Well, on the bright side, with Quis and Paul out, that means we’ll finally get to see Bill Walker get some meaningful burn……….uhhhhhhhh, oh wait never-mind.

Well, at least we can still throw JR out there and see what he is all about, given some meaningful amount of minutes, he can probably do a few things out there on the court, that’ll are respectable, except their wont be any thing to respect because he wont be out there because we traded him, and and Bill together 6’5 and 6’6, and we got back someone who is 5’9 on probably just the weekends.

I still cant believe we went through the deadline, and didn’t end up with a respectable wing or athletic big.

Ray Allen 6’5"
Tony Allen 6’4"
Scal 6’9" (he’s not a wing really, and he’ not really a 4/power forward……he’s just there, he’s like a “powerless-big small backward”)

This is going to be interesting.

Tomorrow night could be very ugly. Oh well, I will be there anyway.

… or they could just not show up. Then Lebron could practice his dancing all night long.

That official who tried to play through the game and ended up leaving. He was suffering from the flu.

NOOOOOOOOOO

If Quis and Pierce are truly out, I think the best bet for guarding Lebron is to put Nate on him. Get Nate right up in his chest and go to work. Sure, Lebron can shoot over him but Lebron sometimes misses when shooting from the outside. And as an added bonus, on offense Nate will be past Lebron so quickly he won’t know what happened.

It’s really sad that two of my favorite Celtics over the past 10 years— Delonte West and Leon Powe— are playing for the Cavs.

I despise LeBron and his cartoon body (can anyone say “steroids?”) and I despise big arsed Shaq, who got the rule book rewritten in his favor. But I simply can’t root against Delonte and Leon.

And I thought Po was the only one with thumb problems.

Perks couldnt guard Lee at all last night and he is going to dominate the Cav’s big men? I doubt it!

but the Cavs did just end a three game losing streak which might be an advantage. Also we might get a Marcus Landry sighting tomorrow.

Marcus Landry!

haha. seriously though, maybe he’ll get some burn.

We’ll need an athletic wingman and a back-up point guard.

I find Ainge’s comments about Walker (and Giddens) disingenuous. With all the injuries, you’d have thought Rivers could have found some playing time for Walker. It’s not like the C’s were going for 72 wins. There have been way too many games when the team seemed disinterested. The way you get people’s attention is reduction in minutes and playing other guys. But perhaps Doc thought his team was doing just fine.

he seems to do better with the starters on the floor…
i think he is our best defender and looking foward to him vs lebron

 will marcus get some minutes? he looked good in practice said danny

That might be a blowout in their favor if Pierce and Daniels are both out.
