Boston Celtics - Paul Pierce?

[onlooker]

I see that he can be possibly returning for todays game agaisnt the Heat. But he was just hospitalized yesterday before the Detroit game for a infection in his elbow. So he will probably be a game time decision.

So if anyone gets the skinny on Pierce, please post here.

I caught that one this morning myself.

Did you hear his comment looker?

He was quoted as saying something a long the lines of the Celtics are losing games purposely, in order to get that #1 pick. Now thats a scary thought if i'm considering betting on the Celtics from here on out.

No shiet? I didn't think anyone could be that terrible.

Someone try to find a article with him being quoted on saying that. I want to see that quote.

I'll have to do a search for it looker. I ended up hearing about this on cold pizza this morning. They did make mention of the Celtics upper management isn't talking about this subject, because of the league implications. If you remember a few years back the Cavs did the same thing in order to get King James.

The Celtics have such bad luck even with the most balls in the drum, they'll still likely get the 3rd pick and miss the top 2 talents. The 1997 lottery was awful for Boston. They had the No. 1 chance, plus the No. 6 chance with Dallas' pick, and they wound up 3 and 6 to miss out on Duncan.

Rick Pitino remembers that day well I'm sure.

I think Toronto had only the 5th best shot last year and they won the lottery.

Pierce said he wants the Celtics to trade their draft picks for veteran players as the draft is hit or miss ... Didn't mention anything about losing games purposely ... If he said that I'm sure his ass would have been jacked up with a stiff fine ... He'll be out the next few games as he's in the hospital with the elbow infection.

Celtics are 4-18-1 ATS at home and 17-7-1 ATS on the road.

Look for Miami to easily cover the 8 points tonight.

Pierce came back today, but it was no help against the Nets. Lets see if he can get things together in the next game or two.

Doesn't even look like Pierce can help them get a win.

[onlooker]

Give it a couple games, then we will see if they can maybe produce a win.

how many looker... 20-21 games

That might be their losing streak by the time they get a win again.
