Ray Allen is just getting over the 5 stitches he received courtesy of a Kendrick Perkins elbow during a walk through of some of the plays. Now, today we have 2 more reports from practice that indicate just how tough they go at each other in practice.
First, from the Globe, Paul Pierce got up close and personal with Scal's elbow.
Celtics' captain Paul Pierce sustained a cut on his right cheek, thanks to a Brian Scalabrine elbow, during a Thursday afternoon practice session. Pierce finished the 1 1/2-hour session with a bandage on his face. Second, JR Giddens got elbowed in the head but it isn't clear who got him. from JR Giddens on Twitter, Perk was at it again.
man got elbowd by perk today i have a scottie pippen playoff knot on my head grrrr JR says it was Perk, but WEEI is reporting that Scal got JR as well as Pierce.
Paul Pierce was sporting a bandage on the right side of his face after getting hit by an inadvertent elbow from Brian Scalabrine during Thursday's practice. Pierce wasn't the only victim of Scalabrine's physicality in practice as J.R. Giddens got hit on the top of the head.
"It went great," coach Doc Rivers said of Scalabrine's return from back spasms. "He elbowed one guy in the head and hit another guy, so he's back. Scal's back." But, Scal denies elbowing Giddens in Scott Souza's Courtside View so it looks like Scal got Pierce but Perk elbowed JR:
While Rivers blamed a cut on Paul Pierce’s cheek and a bump on the back of J.R. Giddens’ head on Scalabrine, Scalabrine said he was responsible for only the Pierce scratch.
“I felt bad about that,” he said in a serious tone.
The Pierce cut was bandaged and described as minor.
Maybe it's a good thing they haven't had much practice time. Seems like they are rougher on each other than their opponents are.
