Looks like TA's going to be out until the playoffs at the earliest. More minutes for Gabe.

While I find TA infuriating, and am all for freeing Gabe, the problem now becomes who is our backup 3?  Ray?

Scal.

Plus, Walker will see some extra PT.

thats right, and i think TA missing time will only make him be more careful with the ball come crunch time. this is good for our team.

That really sucks..God, he has more injury problems then Delonte had. I am really concerned what our option is to replace him.

I wonder what Danny has up his sleeve- I hope it is good and does not involve him coming out of retirement- Hey, maybe the Chief can still play- I bet he would be better then POB- Is Malone or Reggie available? :P

I feel bad for Tony this isn't helping his career much.

Every time he has the opportunity to try and do something injuries stop him.

With that said, I don't think he'll be missed all that much.

That sucks!  Every time he gets healed from one injury, here comes another one.

I really think they should just get him minutes against weaker opponents.  What's the worst that could happen?

I was hoping for addition by trading myself.

Call me crazy but there are a lot of teams that the Celtics could beat with Bill Walker starting.

The Celtics need something off the bench.  Walker being that spark is a stretch but who knows.  If they can't make a trade it'll be hard for this team to win the title again.
