Rivers on Pierce: ``I don't think he could play today, to be honest''

| | Comments (2) |

Boston coach Doc Rivers just addressed the status of guard Paul Pierce, who suffered a sprained right knee in last night's game.

``Well, he didn't have to tell me a lot. I talked to him, though, and just watching him walk, you can see he's -- it's tender, it's still, it's swollen a little bit. You know, no structural damage, which is good news,'' Rivers said.

Asked what Pierce would be able to do today, Rivers said: ``We're not going to do anything anyway. We're going to watch film today and shoot free throws. I don't think he could play today, to be honest. But you know, he'll be ready by Sunday.''

Sprained knees normally require an MRI to see how severe. The Celtics are SOOO concerned about Paul Pierce that he won't even have one. Paul Pierce is the biggest faker on the planet.

Ah, here we go. Let the pissin' and moanin' begin. Something tells me that if this had happened to the sacred cow, Kobe Bryant, he would have gotten a hero's welcome. Give me a freakin' break.
