Pierce expected to play in Atlanta
While Celtics forward Paul Pierce is listed as day to day after suffering a right knee contusion against Utah on Monday night, he still is expected to play against the Hawks on Wednesday night. Pierce was re-examined on Tuesday and no MRI or X-ray was needed, according to team spokesperson Jeff Twiss. A solid shootaround in Atlanta tomorrow morning is expected to solidify the All-Star's expectations to play.
Celtics guard Eddie House is also expected to meet the team in Atlanta in time to play in Wednesday's game. House missed the Utah game after the recent death of his aunt.



That's why we love ya' P-Double. Now if that was T-Mac, he'd be out 2 weeks. Or maybe we should call him T-Back -as in back pain.
Good so when Atlanta beats the C'S there will be no excuse.
Did Paulina need a wheelchair this time?
The only thing Atlanta is going to beat is their own meat after they become the 16th consecutive victim of the Celtics.
That's right Pluto! Wow, alot of disgruntled ChickenHawk's fans.
Don't choke on that HaterAide! lmao
hey nick, you obviously don't know what a tough guy is. the fakers don't have any and never did. pretty stupid of you to actually question paul's toughness....can any of your fakers shut down labron like paul can? See last year's playoffs for a reminder, but don't cry again.
^HAHAHAHAHA
Another fake knee injury for Paul Pierce?
Hey Nick, how embarrassing was it to have a guy in a wheel chair beat the living @%#^ out of your Lakers? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!!
Atlanta will run Boston old butt out of the gym tonight by 15 points.
I say don't play Paul tonight, even if he says he wants to play. Let him rest the knee for 2-3 more days. It's not like if they lose, they're suddenly in bad shape at 23-3. Why risk it? I don't care if Atlanta wins by 30; it's 1 game.
The outcome of this game is meaningless---any sane person knows the Hawks are not on the same planet with the Celtics.
If a team is lame enough to be overwhelmed by coming back to the floor in a wheel chair they deserve to lose!
i feel bad for the hawks having to be from ATL
Paul Pierce
You got that right Pluto. And if the ChickenHawks are lucky enough to make the playoffs again, they'll just choke anyway.
Boston can win this game with less than 100% of The Truth. Hard fought, but very do-able.
Hey lakah hatah - yeah, as a matter of fact, I do know what a tough guy is. A tough guy is a player that doesn't start bawling like a baby on the court when another player on his team hurts his delicate feelings.
