They are a very physical team. You think it's been just bad luck? Perkins n' Rondo's injuries weren't age related. Perkins is just 26 (hard to believe.)

I ask this seriously, did you watch either of the plays they got hurt on? Bynum went over the back on Perk (as he'd been doing all series) and Perk came down wrong on his knee with Bynum's weight added. Rondo was WWF leg sweeped by Wade and landed wrong on his elbow. It doesn't have anything to do with what team they're on, anybody who takes awkward falls like that is going to seriously injure themselves.

Joey, the Celtics are chippy. They just so happen to be getting as good as they giving. Both situations are in response to chippy play during the game. They're arrogant (so they think they can always get an advantage in a physical atmosphere.) It's simply not the case. Maybe it does help them short term, but it's an injury risk (to play that style all the time.)
