No one else to blame but Mike the clown.

Celtic fans are thankful they have Doc Rivers.

The Lakers have had a rough pre-season.  How many wins do they have?

oh boy!not looking good.

We know that foot problems can be real serious...But hey. Howard can hold the fort with his bad back...along with Hill and Nash..the list goes on...

It's the mentality and the coach looking at the bigger picture.

The Celts were about to lose to Ulker, in Istanbul, but Doc didn't care. He even put the 3rd stringers in with Jeff Green the rest of the 4th qtr.

Why?

Because it's just a meaningless preseason game. It's not worth risking injury to the important players.

Mike Clown on the other hand wanted to win badly. Just so the Lakers will not end up winless in the preseason?

Ugh!

It's okay for star players to get injured as long as it will result in a preseason win. 

DUMBEST TROLL EVER!!!

and in the knicks game, doc did'nt bother to come out for the second half..saying that the assistant coach needed to get some game experience, in case he gets booted during the season..thats wisdom and experience...He can tell Pierce, Rondo, or Kg to sit if necessary..not sure that Brown can sit Koby if Koby wants to play...but who cares, this is a Celtic board..

Not so much for the Lakers.

the lakers are taking a big chance with that foot its not like its a elbow injury.one wrong pivot or even worse if someone steps on it...

personally i think they are going to keep him out a couple of games,they would be smart to.

Looks like all is not well.

Only a clown would risk injury to win a preseason game.

But with the opening night contest against the Dallas Mavericks just days away, it’s Bryant who could be in danger of missing the game with injury. Both of the Lakers’ stars sat out Wednesday night’s preseason loss to the Clippers and Bryant could, according to Lakers coach Mike Brown(via ESPNLosAngeles.com), be held out of the game against the Mavericks with a strained right foot:
