Injury Factor

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

People don't seem to be factoring in the possibility of Pierce and
Walker being injured and missing games. A mistake, as the two of them
collectively missing only one game, as they did last season, isn't
likely
to hold true for the present or the future.  As their bodies age
and their minutes accumulate, I expect both of them to suffer some sort
of dehabilitating condition.  The AC Green's of the NBA
world are few and far apart.

Concerning injuries to Pierce and Walker, in lieu of the Celtics
present condition regarding zero chance of Title asperations,
the inability to match up with New Jersey, a season of regression,
no cap space, limited trading ability, Managerial Mismanagement
and poor offensive coaching,
if Pierce and Walker are indeed to be injured, then this is the season
to
blow out a hamstring or nuke a kneecap.  For only with a high placement
in the draft and  the ability to acquire an impact player, along with
the scuttling
of the present managerial personnel likely to come about, if the C's
crash
and burn, can the Celtics overcome their present limitations.
