Doc Concerned about Paul Pierce's Heel

Pierce will miss the preseason contest tomorrow night, and with the season opener rapidly approaching on Sunday afternoon, Doc Rivers is beginning to show some concern about the possibility of Pierce missing regular season time.

“I am concerned, not long term—-but short term. We have those two games right off the bat. He’s only gone one practice, that’s basically it, so yeah, I’m concerned about it.”

Rivers also told reporters Pierce tried some drills on it yesterday during the team’s off day, but did not feel well on it today.
“He went real hard yesterday, and it just got real sore,” Rivers explained. “He felt good at first and we told him to go out and work, so he did some one-on-one stuff with some of the guys and his foot was extremely sore today.”

Fun stuff!

so do we start daniels or what because rondo and daniels out there together aint a good mix

[Fafnir]

My guess is that we start Daniels if Pierce is out, though with Sasha back from his wrist injury he could also be inserted into the line up if Doc wants to keep Daniels in his reserve role.

Huh?  Why not?  And who is a better mix, Sasha Pavolovic and Rondo?  I like Quis alonside anyone, he is a good all around player.



Anyways.... ugh more bad news.  I was hoping for a strong opener against New York.  Hopefully we can still win the game and Pierce isn't hurt badly.

daniels is good but the floor spacing was bad against the raptors with both them out there james johnson was blocking our whole team i know u seen that

[KGHurtYourFeelings]

FLoor spacing might be an issue, but the way Daniels cuts and Rondo dishes, they have good chemistry.

That said, if Pierce, or any of the big 4 for that matter, miss extended time, i have to think we are pretty screwed.

THis makes me really nervous.  Hopefully It's nothing and im over reacting...

[snively]

Wow, Quis went from insurance wing to starter pretty fast.  I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of Moore with the 2nd unit to provide the 2nd unit with a 2nd ball-handler.

We all know of Rondo's outside shooting woes ... well, Quis isn't much better from distance, so the paint would be pretty much plugged up with defenders.

Pierce should be getting electro-stim acupuncture every other day up until the season opener. (And then continuous during the regular season).

[Evantime34]

This scares me a lot, the season hasn't started and already Pierce might miss some games.

[ctrey]

When did a heel injury not bother a player all season. This is VERY bad news. Not looking good folks, not good.

[Roy H.]

Is it time for this yet?

Exactly this is just awful

[Fafnir]

Roy it was time for that long ago.

Eh, I do understtand where you're coming from, it's an issue that will face that lineup, but at some point you just have to put your best lineup on the floor (and Quis is much better than Sasha).  Also, defense to me is a bigger factor than offense.  Sashsa guarding Melo is an absolute joke while Quis plays solid D one on one and good team D.


It's not like NY is a defensive team.  I'm more worried about defending them than I am scoring on them.
