As the Celtics Hawks Series continues the celtics have injuries to deal with. As you likely know the Hawks were banged up (Josh Smith:Sprained Knee, Zaza Pachuila: Sore foot, Al Horford: Torn Pectoral muscle and Tracy McGrady: (yes it's T-Mac just older) sprained ankle.) Now Mickeal Pietrus has a hamstring issue, pierce hurt his knee and emerging starter Avery Bradley dislocated his shoulder last game (missed fourth quarter) Luckily for the C's all of these players will attempt to play (as of 3:30). If the C's win they are playing the Bulls (minus Rose and maybe Noah) or the 76ers. Any so far this post season there has been a rash of major injuries, here they are:
Derek Rose (2011 MVP) Bulls: Torn ACL
Caron Butler (2 time Allstar) Clippers: Broken Hand (shooting)
Baron Davis (5 time all star) Knicks: Torn Patella, Torn ACL, Torn MCL (possibly career ending)
