winning in san antonio is tough even with a rested and 100 percent healthy squad....i would like to just get a good, solid road win vs a good team

I'm thinking KG is playing tonight (and likely Allen).  KG can't sit on the bench because he can't deal with the fact that he can't play.  There's no way the C's would come out and tease him with the idea of playing if they really didn't intend him to play.  I think this whole "game time decision" BS is either to screw with the Spurs or simply to drum up interest in the game.

i think he plays tonight...i think he has been ready to go for a few games but they wanted to save him...i also think doc wanted him to get some games under his belt before coming home for the clips this week...and of course before the orlando game...3 games under his belt would help big before orlando

globe reporting KG is in the lineup tonight...going to play 15-20 minutes...welcome back KG...you have been missed

[greenwise]

Yeah!! At last!

Welcome back KG, we missed you!!

If you swapped out KGs injury and took Pierce out of this mix.. would we have won/lost more games? People say KG is the best player on the team and I'd have to agree since he is our most vocal defensive leader. Our defense would have been better but our offense would have struggled.. Sorry if this is OT.

[celticinorlando]

losing pierce would be a disaster...he is a scorer...to me KG is more about energy and defense...obviously the defense has lagged without him...take pierce out and the offense would lag more to me

[steved24]

Correction I didn't mean to say that KG is the best on our team but I meant to say that I think we would lose more games if Pierce had been out.

All that really needs to be said is that the team would struggle with both of them out. They are both vital members of the team.

Well I remember, I remember dont worry
How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever metBut I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me
The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows
Its no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord

[silvershamrocker]

I'm glad KG will be back, but I expect him to be rusty. But just having him out there will be huge.

[celticinorlando]

RAY ALLEN is starting and will play....starting 5 is back
