Pierce's finger

Shira Springer’s recent installment in the Celtics notebook recaps the loss to New Jersey and Pierce’s finger infection. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, Springer can only outline the uncertainties of Pierce’s status. When the Patriots are tight lipped about their plans I assume it will work out. That’s what three Super Bowls gets you. When the Celtics are vague…moving on. How about this fantastic out of context quote from Springer’s article?

“Team officials want to make sure Pierce is completely healthy when the games count next week. Also, in light of Delonte West recently missing games with a toe infection, the Celtics want to make sure infections do not spread throughout the team.”

If I had this quote standing alone in a blog entry, even with the Delonte West toe information, one could possibly assume that it was connected with the new Celtics dance team.
