What is with this training staff? Keep him out until after the break he looked awful Sunday.

Why is he playing ? >:(

I'm with you man, to me this is a pretty clear "your not going tonight" situation.

I don't see why he's going to go. makes no sense.

could it be that PP wants to play with Ray one last time before the trade deadline and try to convince Danny to keep them together ?

That's a nice thought and all, but come on everyone....PP is a baller/gamer!

the team has some serious problems on the court, they have to just get out there and work them out instead of sitting and waiting for things to magically improve. I'm sure if the injury was serious he wouldn't be playing.

That's nice and all, but he looked awful last game and said he shouldn't have rushed back so soon and tweaked it.

Now, three days later, what exactly makes us think the exact same thing won't happen?

By contrast, he could skip today and get a week off.

  • You say when......
PP is a real "old time" player, he will never sit or not play, if it is UP TO HIM, now if we had management, or a coach or something someone with vision.

Cause he is a warrior and a Celtic. The real question is why is Doc letting him play?

He better not be competing in this or the all-star game.  Would just be a FOOLISH FOOLISH idea.

Pierce is saying his foot is still sore but still intends to play the All-Star weekend festivities in which he is part of :

Quote
"It's getting better, it's still a little sore," Pierce said of his left foot sprain. "I'm hoping over the break, with some time off, I can continue the process of getting better. Definitely, the weekend is going to help. I plan on playing tonight and plan on being in the All-Star game, plan on being in everything."

Pierce will also be involved in the 3-point contest.

"I have been practicing, I feel pretty good about it, I like my chances," Pierce said after the Celtics completed a late-morning shootaround. "I don't see a lot of wear and tear if I participate in the weekend activitites, play about 10-12 minutes in the All-Star game. The 3-point contest, I don't really see too much wear and tear, I don't look at it as something that is going to hinder me."

Per Boston.com

I would rather see him sit tonight but Doc won't have the guts to bench him. Plus, if he plays in the All-Star weekend anyway...

I guess Paul will be OK.

IF he plays tonight, per NBA rules, he has no choice.

Players who play in the last game before the break MUST play the all star game.
