Man, I hope Pierce isn't hurt too bad.

Looks as though he was a little shaken up but appears he is still hurting.

Pose's quickness has long been one of the most underrated facets of his game.  Great cut, sweet dish from Powe...beauty all around!

I missed the play the Pierce got hurt.  Can someone describe the injury?  Did he twist awkwardly (which I assume because of the report of strained back), or was it a blow to the back -- more of a bruise situation.  Glad for the 2 days off after tonight.

I hate when refs fall for a flop. Perk barely touched Bibby on that last foul they called and Bibby acted like he was hit by a car.

Hey NG,

He got hit twice on a take to the rim...the first by Horford was the foul that started to bring him down, and then Josh Smith collided him in an attempt to block the shot...Pierce simply seemed to hit the ground hard on his back -- the really fortunate part was that it seems he didn't incur anything major upstairs when his head snapped back quickly and hit the floor as he landed.  Hope that helps articulate what happened.

Rondo is the man.  He is doing a bit of everything tonight.   He already has 5 assists.
