This is the first meeting between the Celtics and the reigning NBA Champs. The Mavs won the series last year 2-0, but both teams have undergone a considerable makeover since last season. The Celtics are 3-1 at home while the Mavs are 1-3 on the road.
The Mavericks are fresh off their visit to the White House and are playing in the second of back to back games, having beaten the Pistons in Detroit on Tuesday night. The Celtics are coming off a rare 4 day break after their embarrassing loss to the Pacers on Friday.
The Celtics should get a boost from the debut of Mickael Pietrus, who is finally ready to play after taking a couple of weeks to rehab from off season knee surgery. He is ready to play and Doc said that his practic...

Mickael Pietrus stated earlier in the day that he'll be ready for Wednesday's game, but Doc won't commit to playing him just yet. There's no doubt that Pietrus is dying to get on the floor, but the Celtics need to make sure that his knee is 100 percent before they throw him out there. It's great to hear that he was able to find his stroke from deep. Maybe...

Pietrus completes the Celtics bench picture (at least for now). It will be interesting to see his impact on the team and what effect it has on Avery Bradley and Marquis Daniels. I'm betting Bradley's minutes start to wane... but we'll have to wait and see how Doc uses Pietrus.

It is rare to see someone as happy to fight as Mickael Pietrus was Wednesday night. The 29-year-old swingman, who was voided as trade bait less than a month ago due to a surgically repaired knee, entered Wednesday's game against the Mavericks with 1:25 left in the first quarter as a roar went up from the crowd. The newest Celtic's defensive intensity was immediate, and on...

After watching the first eight Celtics games this year, one glaring need is a shooter off the bench. As much as I love the way Marquis Daniels can find a way to get to the basket, the Celtics need a guy that can shoot and stretch the floor. Daniels just does not have that ability to hit the open jump shot and the result is defenses are collapsing in the paint and the bench scoring...
