More Awesome Celtics News; Bradley Done For Playoffs

The Celtics are not expecting to have Avery Bradley for the rest of the playoffs because of a left shoulder injury, a source close to the shooting guard said Wednesday. Asked for a percentage about Bradley having played his final game this season, the source said in the “high 90s.’’

The source said it’s “highly likely’’ Bradley’s left shoulder would pop out again - it has popped out twice in the series against the 76ers - and playing would put him at risk of “serious structural damage.’’ GLOBE

Well this sucks, especially because if we move forward he is a valuable asset. In the beginning of the season this wouldn't be a big deal, but he has cemented himself as the 4th most important player on this team behind Rondo, KG, and Pierce. Bradley puts 100% effort every game, has been great as a starter, is the only on who runs when Rondo runs, plays lock down defense, runs the baseline and can knock down a jumper if need be.

The thing that worries me is that the team is going to need to replace him somehow. Keyon Doolin is a decent defender an does an admirable job at being aggressive but isn't much of an offensive player or should I say steaky at best, and the same goes for Pietrus. Oh yea, and Ray Allen looks like he's 90 out there. This team got a lot slower with Bradley being hurt, so this leads me to the question; WHY THE FUCK ISN'T TONY ALLEN IN GREEN!

Letting Tony Allen go is by far the worst move Danny Ainge has made. Was worse than the Perkins deal, Jermaine O'Neal or signing Scal for a 5 year 15 million dollar contract.

82 Sixers, 75 Celtics

So I went to bed after my drunken stupor thinking I would wake up and let time heal and be less pissed, but no. Last night really pissed me the fuck off, real bad. I feel personally insulted with that dog shit effort they played last night and the deserve all the criticism in the world.

1st off, Rajon, what the fuck bro. I spend all day pumping your tires here as the best pg in the league, an yesterday deadspin came out with an article your one of the best shooters in the league at mid range jumpers, and you sleep walk through game 6. What the fuck man, that was a perfect game for you to have taken over and acted as if you had a 105 flu. 9 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists is not an acceptable stat line. I understand people can have bad games but fuck dude, you looked shitty on offense, your defense on Jrue Holliday was awful and played the worse game I have ever seen you play..... now that I got that out of the way, I can move on and let the healing begin.

RAY ALLEN! Speaking of awful, he has been such a liability on both sides of the ball, I would honestly play Keyon Dooling and Marquis Daniels over him. I don't care about his ankles being hurt, he is letting Lou Williams, Holliday, Iguodala score at will on him. On offense he's not a threat anymore, and don't give me the "spacing" excuse. He's played awful Doc needs to give him the 2nd hardest slap (1st goes to Rondo).

Kevin Garnett, c'mon dude, you have pretty numbers in 20-10 but all those points came when we were down 10. You call Philly fair weathered and then you didn't back it up. I expect more from you. You could see the team struggling, I wanted you to go all Jackie Moon on hte Sixers and pull a "everybody hit someone" moment. The leadership wasn't there at all. Needs to get slapped 3rd.

The clusterfuck of Mickael Pietrus and Brandon Bass where were you guys last night. Bass puts up 27 and then 8? Doug Collins is a great coach, but his trap defense really shouldn't muffle you that much. Pietrus couldn't the broad side of a barn with his shot, he has been a complete disappointment this whole playoffs. I expected more from you than just a defensive guy. Instead of sitting on the 3 point line the whole game, why don't you do what Avery Bradley does and run the baseline and get some easy fucking points. fuck. Slapped 4th and 5th, then gets the backhand back for 6th and 7th. Also, with Avery Bradley out for the playoffs both you 2 assholes need to step up big time.

The only 2 people who deserve credit in this game is Paul Pierce and Ryan Hollins, both of them showed they gave a damn when they were out there. Pierce was getting everything he wanted, got to the line, hit his free throws and Ryan Hollins hustled.

The Celtics looked flat and shitty times infinity.

However, Game 7 is in Boston and hopefully Doc Rivers slaps them enough to realize the ramifications of losing a game in which the Sixers tried handing us with 11 fucking missed free throws means.

Gay.

Mickael Pietrus Starting To Feel Better

Mickael Pietrus has been out since March 23 when he suffered a head injury, which left him with a grade III concussion. He was finally able to pass a concussion baseline test and when asked, the swingman said he wasn't sure about his timetable to return to the active roster.

"Oh, I don't know. A couple of weeks, maybe? I'm hoping so," Pietrus told ESPNBoston.com. "I'm doing everything they ask me to. I'm taking all the tests (ESPN)."

It's the first step, so we can't get too carried away, but I do feel better about him making it back right before the playoffs now. I think that could be very important as well. Depth can be very important, and this is a guy that can come out and play some great defense. I hope he comes back from this, and after reading this and Doc's comments I think he has a pretty good shot at doing so.
