KG, Pierce, Daniels and Rondo are all out for tomorrow night's game vs. Toronto. No word on starting lineup. (via @celtics)

Looks like were going to take our 4th L I just cant see them pulling this one out! smh

No word on him my guess is him too, with the precaution Doc's been taking. What does this say about Pierce and Rondo? Shouldnt Pierce be good to go by now (and Doc said hes worried about Rondo)? Not a good look.

[dang], I don't want us to lose against Toronto and at home... they are terrible defensively and are soft but without the 3/4 of our starting lineup out and basically no point guard I just don't see how we can win this game.

Get healthy soon guys. I'm glad Doc is taking precautions for all of our guys, regardless of their age.

Not good in the short term but being very careful with injuries to get our players fully healthy can only help in the long run. Can't wait to see our starting line-up back together soon. Hope Ray doesn't get run to the ground in the meantime.
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Looks like it will be four in a row after tomorrow night. It will be a miracle for the C's to win this game, especially given taht Scal is probably going to play a lot of minutes. I understand needing to get players healthy, but this is painful and this stretch will likely make it extremely difficult for the C's to secure the top spot in the east and the second spot could also be difficult.

  We're tied in the loss column with Cleveland and Orlando with 50 games to go. I wouldn't write this team off yet.

Amazing what a little perspective does. :)

Wow..just found out about Pierce..guess Doc is being extra careful?

Well, I wouldn't count us out. Still have Sheed, Perk and Ray Ray. And Tony Allen has been steady as of late.

The Celtics are still a tough out.

I know that right now the Celts are tied in the loss column. My concern here is with all of the "resting" of injured players that by the time this is over we will be several games behind Cleveland and Orlando and maybe even behind the Hawks.

Exactly.

This may be tough stretch, but we'll still make the playoffs and we've shown we can play on the road. It would be nice to have home court, but its useless if guys like KG and Paul are out.

And hey, watching this team lose 24 straight with no chance at the playoffs a few seasons ago makes something like this - when there is a big picture here - much more bearable.

  Aside from the fact that this team could win without home court advantage, if we're healthy we could make up those games.
