Bring out the gimp (part 2)

The Herald introduces the prospect of Wally needing surgery:
The Celtics are going to have to find some pine time for Wally Szczerbiak if he is to be of help at the end of games. His left knee is continuing to bother him to the point where he can’t be himself when the game is on the line.

“My knee starts to tighten up a little bit in the fourth quarter, and I just can’t move,” Szczerbiak said yesterday. “It just starts locking on me, breaking down a little bit. I’ve got to figure out a way to stay strong for the fourth quarter. That’s going to be the next challenge.”

Asked if he is considering surgery, Szczerbiak said: “I don’t know. We’re going to re-evaluate that as the knee goes. We’re keeping an eye on it and monitoring it. We’ll just have to see how it responds.”

Szczerbiak faces the dilemma of whether to work hard to strengthen the knee or rest the injury, but he said he will take the fatigue from the lifting rather than the pain of a weak knee.

I think my favorite part of this post is the ads that show up at the top of the blog: relieving knee pain and reducing knee swelling. Would someone please post something slightly inappropriate about Rafael Palmeiro's Viagra sponsorship so we can see what pops up? Whoops, I guess I just did that.
