It's real bro. He played through the pain.

there was no pain... because of the adrenalin... it normally kicks in during a game... inig mata ni pierce from sleep... diha na mo-sink in ang sakit... then mohubag pa gyud ang tuhod...

Actually, nagsugod na iya kalbaryo. He was seen limping to his car with a ton of bandages to his knees. This could mean trouble for the Celtics. But I'm sure he would be able to play for Game 2 knowing there will be almost 72 hours of rest till then.

Speculations about Paul's injury.

After the game, Pierce was walking with a pronounced limp as he exited the postgame interview room and headed back to the locker room, but some 45 minutes later the injury was clearly bothering him more.

As he walked to his car, Pierce was still wearing his warm-ups. The snaps along the right side were hanging open, revealing a wrapping of several ace bandages from the bottom of his calf to the top of his thigh, an additional layer of white tape wrapped around the lower half of his hamstring, ending just above his knee.

Pierce's feet moved no more than 12 inches with each step, and as you watched him begin to navigate the four flights of stairs from the locker room level to the players' parking lot, you couldn't help but wonder exactly how much adrenalin had fueled his comeback. The knee injury could also keep him out of Game 2 or, at the very least, reduce his effectiveness.

...

But again, this series is only one game old, and Pierce left the building looking more like someone in need of a leg transplant than someone who will bounce back quickly with treatment. ...

Because ambulance or no ambulance, the truth was The Truth could barely walk by the time the night was over.

But again, this series is only one game old, and Pierce left the building looking more like someone in need of a leg transplant than someone who will bounce back quickly with treatment. He has between 48 and 72 hours to heal, as does Kendrick Perkins, who sprained his left ankle on the same play on which Pierce twisted his knee.

If the Celtics don't get both of them back at something approaching full strength, this could go down as the night Boston lost the series despite winning the game.

If wala si Pierce, I guess Doc Rivers has to bring in Tony Allen and add a new flavor in the PG department (Eddie House). Bring in Brian Scalabrine or Glen Davis for serious minutes.

If injured si Perk ug PP, ani na lang siguro ang starting line-up:
C - Davis
PF - KG
SF - Ray Allen
SG - Tony Allen
PG - Rajon

-- Posey and PJ Brown off the bench gihapon

Pierce is playing in Game 2.

[clarkhkent]

suspected ra man diay to ang injured ni pierce....so see you in game 2 paul...

[lunateec22]

Pierce has has a strained right knee while Perkins has a sprained left ankle. Pierce has been listed day-to-day.

He can play but can be less effective. Unless he gets fired up again. But then again, there are people who thinks it was an acting job. I don't really know for sure.

Kodak moment of Game 1

[tackielarla]

Must win game for Boston. They cannot afford to let the Lakers steal one in the Garden going into LA specially that LA has an impressive record at Staples since the playoffs started.

Huge performance by The Truth for the 1st half... adrenalin over pain..
