The Celtics are down to just eight players available for tonight's game against Scrob's beloved Heat, after Leon sustained a bruised kneecap in the opening minutes at Chicago, Ray Ray hyper-extended his elbow near the end of the game, and Rondo re-injured an ankle. All are listed as day-to-day, but the team described Powe's injury as the most serious of the three.
Even though he only played four minutes last night, Leon still managed 3 rebounds (2 offensive) and 2 points. Not too shabby.. now get healthy!
A fun note: for the first time since his days at Inglewood, Paul Pierce was forced to play center last night, due to all the injuries/Mikki Moore fouling out.
The next couple games should be interesting, as Doc will be forced to play his least favorite guys or else suit up himself and try not to get double technicals and get ejected. Seriously, NBA.. five games in seven days?!
Editor Update - Leon is out tonight. Big Baby makes his return.
Kate's p.s. to editor's note: Leon is out for at least two to three weeks. Ray Ray is day to day, and will not play this weekend, but will be the sharpest dressed guy on the bench.

This is why I need to watch the damn games! I watched the highlights of the fourth quarter on Sportscenter this morning, saw the lineup of Rondo, Pierce, House, Allen and Marbury and was very confused. Then Doc got tossed. Loved his interview after the game though. Between the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics, how many players have gotten hurt dating back to David Ortiz's wrist injury? The Heat haven't played since Sunday btw. And the Celtics play the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday. Yikes.
maybe if you lived in the correct time zone you'd see more games
By the way, totally correct: Ray Ray looked sharp as HELL on the bench tonight. D-Wade was stylish too, but it looked like he got his earrings out of one of those machines in the supermarket where you put in 50 cents and turn the dial for a little plastic ball full of worthless junk.
Also, that game was a lot more entertaining than I expected considering it was the Jermaine O'Neal all-stars versus the Celtic's D-League squad. Also C's win. Suck it, Scrob.
