Celtics coach Doc Rivers said on WEEI's ``Dennis and Callahan Show'' yesterday that Ray Allen was slowed by a hamstring problem during the Orlando series. Rivers also revealed that Paul Pierce has bone spurs that may need to be removed and Kendrick Perkins likely faces shoulder surgery.
--Boston Herald, May 20, 2009
When the 2008-09 season ended, KG was scheduled for surgery, while Paul Pierce was complaining of bone spurs, the same problem that necessitated surgery for Garnett. The Ticket has since had surgery, successful by all accounts. Pierce? No word. Perkins? No Word. Still, when you're two best players and your best post-defender end the season with injuries, concerns abound about the long-term durability of this squad next year. This is why Celtics Nation, despite the coup that was the Rasheed Wallace free agent signing, will be pins and needles for most of next season, even if we land a desirable swingman.
