The good news is that Mickael Pietrus is back from his shoulder injury and will start for Ray Allen. Keyon Dooling and Chris Wilcox will also return to the Celtics' second unit tonight.

Orlando was 11-4 and heading to Boston with two days rest.  The 6-9 Celtics had just played in Washington the day before.  They were also missing Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, as well as BOTH their back-ups, Keyon Dooling and Mickael Pietrus.  Everything was pointing towards an easy Magic victory; which made what unfolded before my eyes last night all the more shocking.
