Vitaly Potapenko is out for at least the first round with a knee injury sustained in last night's essentially-meaningless (though I did get my Antoine Walker bobblehead) Atlanta game. The C's were remarkably injury-free this year. While other Eastern powers lost guys like Iverson, Mashburn, Jordan, and Grant Hill (he's on Orlando, right?), the only Boston injuries were a few games here and there by Anderon, Battie, and Joe Forte (who, oddly, seemed to get back spasms every time someone was ready to come off the injured list). And now it begins. The most dreadful omen: Dr. Jack likes the Sixers.
