are you sure this is this year? sheldon williams doesnt play for the celtics anymore
As for his health, Pierce admitted a sprained MCL, suffered during a walkthrough in the first round of the postseason, hindered him the remainder of the playoffs, but he didn't want to use it as an excuse for his diminished play. Pierce said he has spent much of the offseason strengthening the area around the knee while it heals."The knee is a lot better. It's not completely healed, but I figure I'm about 90 percent now," Pierce said. "So I've been doing a lot to strengthen it, so I can come back a stronger player. It really hampered me, I thought, the last 10-15 games of the year. I couldn't explode like I wanted to. But everybody was hurt at that point of the year. Everybody was dealing with nagging injuries. That's why I didn't really stress on it too much in the playoffs, because I know everyone is dealing with injuries and that's just another excuse."Pierce said he focused on strengthening his quad and hamstring to alleviate stress on the knee. He said that workout included a lot of stair work and light running on the treadmill. But he noted, "It's been responding very well."
I like to consider myself someone with a great sense of humor, but the comedy in this escapes me.The fake threads that pop up on April 1st are one thing (I don't care for those much either) but randomly reviving topics with ominous titles to give people a scare seems akin to creating threads with totally false information. Extra that it's a mod doing it...No offense intended honestly Kiorrik, but with Pierce suffering a sprained MCL just three months ago I thought I was going to read about some serious setback with his knee. I'm glad that's not the case. I see at least one poster has been legitimately confused already so just to clarify Pierce's current status:QuoteAs for his health, Pierce admitted a sprained MCL, suffered during a walkthrough in the first round of the postseason, hindered him the remainder of the playoffs, but he didn't want to use it as an excuse for his diminished play.

This makes me wish there was a sage function for this forum, so i could reply to stuff like this without bumping the thread into the latest forum topics. Mods, can we do anything for this? or i guess better janitor work to delete these threads.
