Game injuries...... 

Post#1 » by Kefa461 » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:14 am

Rajon Rondo re-sprained his right ankle and played anyway, making him at least uncertain for tonight’s game against Miami. Rondo, who injured the same ankle March 6 and missed the next two games, stepped on Kendrick Perkins in the third quarter.“I don’t know,” he said regarding tonight. “I played through it, but I don’t know how it’s going to be.”

And Ray Allen is in the same boat after hyper-extending his right elbow late in the game.
Allen got his elbow caught in a screen and, as far as tonight goes, “It’s all predicated on how I feel when I get up in the morning,” he said.


“We may be down to one or two guys for tomorrow’s game probably,” coach Doc Rivers said. “I was really proud of our guys. I thought they fought their butts off. It was great. Honestly when you’re down to one big and he’s dying on the floor and you have to take him out. You have five smalls, a makeshift lineup. I was really proud. I was really happy with our guys.”

Glen Davis (there is some hope he’ll play tonight)

He tried to play later in the period, but he couldn’t move laterally.It’s just stiff,” Powe said. “They say it’s a deep bruise right now. We’ll check it out further (today). I don’t know (about playing tonight). It’s feeling real bad, but I can’t call it right now.”

I expect Powe to be out for a few games. That means we are down to 2 big men! That is ridiculous!

This team reminds me of the houston team that won back to back titles in the mid 90's. The second year they did it totally different than the first year. I think they were a 5 or 6 seed going into the playoffs and cruised through the finals. This team has the same injuries problems that HOU had back in the day ,and they will do it again come playoff time.

It *is* getting ridiculous...but it is what it is. I have no doubt we'll be back close to full strength once the playoffs start, however...and the East better watch out then!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

Does Rondo even tape his damn ankles. When he makes those herky-jerky moves and cuts downlow I swear his ankles look so smooth and bendable it clearly shows they might not be taped at all, or not taped well enough.

We are playing wrecklessy because we are so desperate to win
