All signs point to Ray Allen playing Tuesday night, despite the 7-stitches needed to close a cut over his left eye, courtesy of a Kendrick Perkins elbow. Ray was back at practice Sunday and according to the Herald, he didn't have a concussion exam.“Last night was one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had in a long
time,” Allen said. “The swelling has actually gone down a lot. I
started feeling it in the hip, because when he hit me, I went down on
my hip.”As for the other injured players, Brian Scalabrine (ankle) and Tony Allen (ankle surgery) did not practice yesterday. Glen Davis may have missed the last exhibition game with back spasms, but had no problem running yesterday.If Ray's eye didn't collide with Perk's elbow, there'd be zero Celtics news today. The Herald and Globe are rehashing old storylines in order to bolster their Celtics coverage today.Other Links: Herald - Fit Ray Allen To Give Foes Fits | Rasheed Wallace a Perfect Fit | Cavs/...

Celtics take opener, 95-89
The Celtics came out of the gates slowly, but it isn't how you start. It's how you finish. And the Celtics finished strong, knocking off the Cavs 95-89. The good thing about this game, outside of the win, is that there's one less game in which I have to watch LeBron James, Side Show Bob, and Humpty Dumpty play. Hooray for me.
