Coming in: Boston plays the back end of a back-to-back after dismantling New York, and Miami comes off its fourth win of the season, beating Charlotte. Last game came down to a late Paul Pierce layup for the Celtic win.

Jason Williams and Ricky Davis are coming off the bench. Quinn and Penny will start. Expect Daequan Cook to get some significant PT.

Daequan Cook is that dude. I used to play ball with Quinn too. I haven't seen Penny play this year either. Should be a fun game to watch.

We've been struggling scoring for most of the season so Riley just switched things up to see what would happen. So in our last game he had Ricky and JWill come off the bench and it worked for that night atleast. They scored 110 points, Ricky had 23 points and JWill broke out of his slump with 11 points and 8 assists. Dont know if it will work again but im sure he'll use that same lineup again tonight.

This should be a good battle. Now the Heat (and Wade) are back at full strength I don't expect them to be in the Eastern Conference gutter for much longer.

I am looking forward to a pretty big game from Ricky Davis, but the Celtics will probably still win pretty big. Wade and Davis aren't enough and Shaq is a shell of what he used to be. Of course, come May, this time will be playing much better.

Pierce looks great early. I don't know why Miami doesn't get Shaq more consistent touches in the post. And I agree it's nice to see Penny on the floor, especially when he's on the other team.

We need some interior defense, Haslem and Shaq are killing us down low

Anybody catch Pierce on camera after the foul?

"That's bull****!"

Why isn't Pierce getting the ball? He starts off red hot, and then the ball ignores him for four minutes. I've noticed this a lot this year.

P with 18 after one. Damn.

And that had better be the last damn time Scalabrine tries to create off the dribble.
