ahlthe3rd Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 If X-Rays are confirmed Pierce could miss a "significant" amount of time with the broken foot. Smoove would be the logical replacement, right?? Here's the article that talks about Pierce's injury: http://www.nba.com/2010/news/02/02/pierce.foot/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Probably so.... what's goin on with Chris Paul's replacement? Will that be named sometime this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Beware of Noah. Also beward of someone from Cleveland. Smoove is not a slam dunk is my point. Edited February 2, 2010 by gsuteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Even more likely...... We face Boston in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrywest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I was pulling for Boston to come #2. Darn it. I thought Garnett will sit out and Smoove will be in. I guess both Smoove and Lee will be in. Cleveland is a lottery team without LeBron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlpin Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Even more likely...... We face Boston in the 1st round. For that to happen the celtics would have to fall at least to 6th in the conference. Paul Pierce is good, but I don't think that would be enough for both the raptors to erase a 5 game difference in 34 games and the bulls to erase a 7 game difference in 37 games. If the bulls and the raptors keep the same pace, the celtics would have to have a .333 win percentage the rest of the season, and pierce by himself is not responsible for that.

SmooveTheFuture Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Smith has to have a good game tonight if he wants to have any consideration of getting in IMO he hasnt really played that great since his snub. On the other David Lee has been playing lights out so I really hope he starts playing great. I had a dream smith had 45 points 15 rebounds and 10 blocks vs the thunder lol. I think Pierce and Garnett will both sit out Rivers and the Celtics dont want to risk the big picture.

High5 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 This is devastating if it cements Atlanta/Orlando in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Even more likely...... We face Boston in the 1st round. That's kind of the worst case scenario for us . . . or a great one, if Boston played Cleveland or Orlando in the 1st Round, and knocked them off. I remember the year in which the Knicks had major injuries ( I think in 1999 ). They were a real good team at full strength, but because of injuries, ended up being the #8 seed in the East. I believe that was the infamous Allan Houston shot in Game 7, that beat the #1 seeded Heat that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobcats - 14 pts, 8 boards ( 5 offensive ), 6 assists, and 4 steals. Vs. Rockets - 22 pts, 10 boards, 4 steals, 4 blocks, and an assist. Vs. San Antonio - 16 pts, 16 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals, and a block. Vs. Celtics - 12 pts, 9 boards, 3 blocks, 2 steals, and an assist. Vs. Orlando - 16 pts, 6 boards, 4 blocks, 2 assists, and a steal All Star numbers to me.... actually more than enough to make it as an all-star reserve. Don't really see how he hasn't been playing great.

David Lee's last 16/11/5/1/1 24/9/6/2/1 29/18/3/1 28/10/4/2/1 11/14/3 31/17/4 So over the last 6 Smith has 16/10/3.5/2/3 while lee has 23/13/4/1.5/1 Lee is the logical replacement based on individual performance, with Smith #2. The reason to put Smith in is to reward contributions to winning. Smith could certainly get the spot, but no one should be upset if Lee gets it, he's been balling.

Paul Peirce has lesser numbers than Josh, but got in because his team was winning at the moment. Don't see why the same can't happen for Josh.
