--- Quote ---ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The Boston Celtics don't expect Paul Pierce back any time soon.

Pierce was in so much pain from a right knee infection that the All-Star forward called team trainer Ed Lacerte on Wednesday around 3 a.m, coach Doc Rivers said. Lacerte went to Pierce's house and took him to the hospital, where they drained fluid from Pierce's knee.

Pierce didn't make the flight to Orlando for the Christmas Day game against the Magic. He is expected to miss at least two weeks.

"What he's going through is pretty significant," Celtics guard Ray Allen said. "It is serious. Because me knowing Paul, he's always practicing and he's always playing, so for him not to be here, it must be very significant."

The injury surprised the Celtics.

aging is what is going to keep the Celtics out of the Finals.

not just this injury alone, but the fact this kind of thing is bound to happen to KG or Ray Allen too.

they should get rest as often as Doc Rivers can give it to them & still just make it to the playoffs; because it doesn't matter what seed they have going into the playoffs, they will take the East if the Big 3 is healthy.

u think a healthy celtics team can beat a healthy magics team?


i just really doubt it considering kg has slowed down and aged. the magics also have a much deeper bench

i think they would, but the point is i don't think they will be healthy for that series & the Magic will sweep them.

but a healthy Cav team can beat an unhealthy Celtics team.

if they aren't at least 95% in the playoffs, i give them no chance to win.

just like the lame ass Pistons - one hit wonders!   :laugh:

you don't wanna see a guy hurt though... doesn't fare well for them, he'll be back probably

but they wouldn't be able to hang with the Lakers anyway, so it doesn't matter

Don Jacob:
the c are riding on the hot wave of perkins and rondo, who's wave's might be a a litter exaggerated due to the fact allen pierce and kg get so much attention. it's the same wave players like deavon george were riding during the three peat laker years.
