Pierce did not make the flight to Orlando for a Christmas Day game against the Magic, one day after Kevin Garnett missed his first game of the season with a thigh bruise. Instead, team doctor Brian McKeon drained fluid from Pierce's knee at New England Baptist Hospital. The Celtics are on a six-day, four-game road trip that will also take them to the Clippers, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns before returning home for a Jan. 2 game against Toronto. Pierce could be back for the Jan. 6 game at Miami. Full Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Must have been from that "horrible injury" he got in the Finals 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtics3420 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Good choice by the Celtics organization here. They still have a great team they will be fine. I agree, better to play it safe at this point in the season. It's prolly lingering from his injury from the 06-07 season.

kingfish Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Lakers lost Pau. Cavs lost Shaq. (although this one doesnt really matter ) Magic lost Jameer. Celtics will have to tough it out and win a lot of games without PP, their behind in the home court race as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtics3420 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Do you think the injury had anything to do with the loss to the Clippers? partially. But due to circumstances only, the ball would have been in Pierce's hands late as opposed to Rondo. Pierce wouldn't have missed both FT's, or we wouldn't have been in that position in the 1st place. However, we choked that game so hard being up 90-87 with a minute left. We SHOULD have closed it out, but props to the Clips for taking advantage of our pathetic play late.
