Injuries not serious.

[JBMetzEA@aol.com]

    Below is an excerpt from today's Boston Herald. I usually post all of the 
day's relevant articles from the local (and sometimes national) press 0n the 
club site<A HREF="http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/celticsstuff"> * Yahoo! Clubs 
celticsstuff*</A>. You will find the full text there and please feel free to 
post.
    By the way; is there any way to cut short the amount of times we reread 
the same posts? If ten people are responding to the same post, we reread the 
whole thing ten times. I receive this board in journal form and I understand 
some of you get it post by post, but if we could be aware of this and perhaps 
just re post the excerpt we are commenting on, it would save a lot of time 
and scrolling. 
        Thanks;
                JB

Hobbled C's breathe a few sighs of relief

ORLANDO - The Celtics were feeling fortunate yesterday - sore, but fortunate. 
The injuries suffered in Saturday's 101-100 overtime win over the Wizards 
don't appear to be serious, meaning they can enjoy their three-game preseason 
win streak.

And they had some time to do so, with Rick Pitino giving the club its first 
day off since camp opened on Oct. 3.

Paul Pierce (bruised sternum) and Eric Williams (bruised right knee) should 
be fine, but the biggest sigh of relief came when an X-ray of Chris Herren's 
left ankle revealed nothing major. Herren rolled the ankle and twisted his 
knee after stepping on Antoine Walker's foot as he moved on defense.

``It's just a sprain,'' Herren said yesterday after returning from the exam. 
``I'm not sure how long it's going to take to get back, but I don't plan on 
it being that long. The problem is that sometimes ankles are a little tricky. 
They can be tough to predict.''.......................
