Avery Bradley reportedly to undergo surgery, miss playoffs, have four-month recovery period
Damn it all to hell. The reports just keep piling on, like a stampede of elephants stomping on my heart.
Per ESPN’S Chris Forsberg, Avery Bradley is expected to undergo surgery “as soon as the team determines he’s able.” He will face a four-month recovery period, which clearly knocks him out for the rest of the playoffs, which obviously sucks because now even if the Celtics get past the 76ers, RAY ALLEN AND HIS DAMAGED ANKLES WILL DEFEND DWYANE WADE IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS.
Forgive me for shouting. That’s stage two of my grieving process, after denial. (ESPN)
Boston Celtics second-year shooting guard Avery Bradley is expected to soon undergo season-ending surgery to repair small tears that have compromised the structure of his ailing left shoulder, according to a league source.
Bradley has endured a number of dislocations during the 2011-12 season, including three in the postseason. After the shoulder came out in a Game 4 loss in Philadelphia, doctors made the determination that it’s simply too risky to put him back on the court with the potential for a more serious injury, according to the source. The team has not yet ruled him out for the rest of the postseason, but that decision could come soon.
With surgery unavoidable in order to correct the issues, Bradley is expected to go under the knife as soon as the team determines he’s able. According to the source, Bradley is looking at a four-month recovery process, but the hope is that he’ll be ready in time for the team’s October training camp.
Daniel-San, where is Mr. Miyagi? We need him to rub his hands on Allen’s ankles and Bradley’s shoulders, STAT.
Now forgive me while I go begin the third stage of my grieving process: tears.

Jay, it’s a big blow but match ups are what the playoffs are about… Philly matches up well against us… Miami has a match up problem against us… RONDO and Garnett… Big problem for the Heat. Without Bosh playing Bass could be a huge problem for them…

Geez, the life blood of this team has always been the Big 4. AB was a welcome addition yes, but DR should be using what??? Yes, his other players and NOT running the core 5 into the ground. KG, RR, and PP each played over 40 minutes the other night. No wonder why they couldn’t get it done. COME ON CELTICS, RISE UP OR FOREVER LIVE IN INFAMY!!!

Doc is incompetent. he trusts in Dooling and Pietrus who are dreadful, yet he won’t play Daniels, Pavlovich, Williams or Moore, guys who can bring energy and contribute, especially against the young guns of Philly. They are beating us with energy and youth. As I posted on another article earlier, it is time for Ray Allen to be benched. No fault of his, but he’s killing us on both ends. Reality check here. If we get past Philly, and that could be a big if right now, we can’t have Allen guarding Wade. Wade will score 50 a night, not to mention helping his teammates get easy buckets as the rest of the Celtics try to pick up Ray’s man

Please Doc, go to Orlando. Maybe we can hire Van Gundy. I can’t take any more of Pietrus and Dooling. I truly can’t stomach it.

It’s almost like he favors those players because at 1 stage they both played with Orlando and he himself lives in Orlando.

And what’s up with Bass? One great game, but he’s choked under pressure for the most part during the playoffs. We need him to knock down open jumpers, which is what he did during the regular season

Sometimes I feel like the games have been fixed in order to get an extra game (an some extra million dollars) Think of it, boston playing like a champion caliber team in game 5, knowing they have home court advantage in game 7 they play like the darn bobcats in game 6 and then surprisingly they win in game 7 (I hope they do).
Or maybe this Celtics are just too tired, too banged up and are too inconstant. Either way, keep it up! Let’s go Celtics!!!… I know it’s frustrating sometimes.
