Sounds pretty routine.  Mend well PP.

Not great timing.


Does this mean TA will start?   

[Donoghus]

Ugh...terrible timing.

[SamuelAdams]

How do you get a knee infection?

[Big_Matt34]

Not the best timing, but better now than the playoffs. Also, while it comes at the expense of him being hurt, two weeks of rest for him might not be the worst thing. Seems like it is relatively minor anyways, just hope for no complications.

[Redz]

Ugh...terrible timing.

Does Bill Walker get the call up?

So many questions.

The C's starters hadn't missed a game until yesterday.  The bubble was bound to burst.  At least this is nothing structural.

[Big_Matt34]

Does Bill Walker get the call up?

Already called up, wasnt really sure why when i read it but makes sense now. He is going to have to get some minutes, just hope when he does he plays some defense, rebounds, and knocks people around a bit.

Wow..I guess that looking at the pig picture, stuff like this is a part of a season...not great timing, but on the positive note we'll have KG back.

All I know is that when KG went out during playoffs last year, Rondo and Perk stepped up. Perk stepped up last night, as well as Ray Ray.

My guess is that we'll start TA? If I was ORL, I wouldn't sleep on us.

One of the many reasons I'm a fan of the Celtics is that when one important piece goes out, this team still finds ways to play valiantly. Next four games won't be any different.

Get well, Captain.

I wonder which knee it was.  I just hope it doesn't become chronic.  Man this sucks!  I don't trust TA in the starting line-up, but this makes the Bill Walker call-up more sensible.

[Redz]

I remember making the comment that it looked like he was carrying a piano getting back on D one possession last night.

Clean it up, and get things rolling again.  Looking forward to seeing who steps up in his absence (cause you know someone will)

Bill Walker time.

Picture Rondo running the break with Walker and TA! This could be fun for a couple of weeks.

[Atzar]

Don't get excited.  It'll be TA starting and Scal off the bench... Bill will likely only get minutes in emergencies or garbage time.

Too late, I'm already excited. TA was taking Daniels place, now he is taking Pierces in the rotation. That means someone needs to take on the Quis role. Scal might be able to do this for a small amount of time, but I expect to see at least ten minutes out of Walker, most of the games Pierce is out.

This injury came at the right time, meaning that it was not at the end of the season.

Also don't be shocked if it is more serious than thought much in the same way KG's injury was downplayed. Not to the same extent as KG, I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked if it was 4-6 weeks instead of 2.

[dark_lord]

this stinks!

[RebusRankin]

This stinks.

Hopefully TA and Walker step up. We're thin on the wing right now.

Is a move coming?
