Andrew Bogut Hurt Again



Andrew Bogut is hurt again, this time it's a broken left ankle. Imagine what Andrew Bogut or the Bucks would be if he stopped having all these terrible injuries, let's break down his horrific injury past:

In 2007, Bogut's sophomore season in the league was cut short after spraining his left foot and being put on the injured reserve for the final 15 games.

In 2008, Bogut missed 43 games, including the final 31, with an injured lower back.

In 2009, Bogut missed the end of the 2009-10 season when he dislocated his right elbow,sprained his right wrist and broke his right hand in a hard fall to the floor.

In 2010, the previous injury lingered, holding him to only play in 65 games.

And now this.

I used to make excuses when the Celtics had Delonte West and he would have, what I call, "try hard" injuries. Injuries that happened because you tried hard and something went wrong like a broken bone, etc. The opposite of Jermaine O'Neal or JD Drew injury. But sometimes people are just really fragile, and although Bogut could be a great player when healthy, he just never is.

This sucks for the Bucks because after they made that run a couple years ago, they just haven't been able to get over the hump of mediocrity.

The Celtics Made The Best Trade Yesterday For The Best Point Guard


The Journal Sentinel reports the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to send guard Keyon Dooling and a conditional 2012 second round pick to the Boston Celtics.

The transaction should be completed Friday.

The Celtics will use the $2.38 million trade exception from Marquis Daniels to accept Dooling's $2.24 million cap number. ESPN

Why this is important is because since Dooling is a tweener like guard between a 1/2 this could mean the end of Delonte West. Dooling is 6'3 and can play the 1 or 2, but his size is more fit for the 1. He averaged 7 points last year and 3 assists and will be fine to back up Rondo. Dooling was once the 10th pick in the NBA draft at one time so there is talent there.

Where Dooling excels is at defense, he was once considered an "elite" defender and in a Celtics program that screams defense he should be a fit under Doc's tutelage.

I just like how the Celtics are starting to fill their vision.
