Paul Pierce will get an MRI on his left foot tomorrow #celtics

Does anyone know why he needs the MRI? When did he injure his foot?

Stay classy, San Diego. Hello, Baxter? Baxter, is that you? Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee. Is this Wilt Chamberlain? Have the decency to say something.

you can tell he isn't right. but he played good defense...but you could tell he was a step slow and he shot was way off...sit him now that delonte is back....get him ready for after the break

Who do you start against the Nets, then?  Not disagreeing with you, but that would be tough... do you start Wafer and Ray at the wings?  With Delonte just returning, that likely means Bradley and/or Gody are in for significant (15+) minutes.

Start rondo, von and ray....bring in nate, delonte, baby and you could get away playing gody against the nets...actually...i might start Gody at SF

Just got the link:

Foot injury is from a few weeks ago.  I do seem to recall a game where he hobbled off the court with very little time left and headed straight for the locker room; forget who it was against.

yup..knew it...old injury that isn't getting any better...can't think it is a bad injury if he has played on it...usually if it is a stress fracture they wouldn't let you play..

flash backs to that wizards game when everyone thought he had a season ending foot thing
