Pietrus will play tonight. Allen out due to ankle issues again.

hopefully this is just precautionary for ray...we are going to need him in the playoffs...let him rest.

I know Ray is a constant professional but I honestly believe his problems are more mental than physical at this point.  He was moving really last night.

Whoa, Pietrus is back!? And Ray out Ahh, that really sucks. Hopefully Pietrus is in good health.

I think keeping Ray out is more of a precaution.  But that's great news for Pietrus. Probably means Dooling will get some burn tonight 

Haha everybody hates Dooling. I agree Doc is probably keeping Ray out just to rest him. They are playing 4 straight games I believe so it'll be too taxing on Ray's ankles

I was worried that Pietrus wouldn't be back even for the playoffs...and the truth is we still won't know for awhile.  Concussions or concussion like symptoms are tricky.

But as long as Ray can be ready for the playoffs, I like the short bench of Ray, Pietrus, and Steimer.

That's awesome.

Somehow glanced over the Ray news. That stinks. I hope it's just precautionary but I'm starting to worry it's more serious then we know.

At Allen's age one doesn't heal as fast and sometimes never fully. Again not missed in Atlanta. Let Allen rest for the playoffs. Who ever thought of the limited playing time(s) for KG was brilliant.

Hoping Pietrus can contribute.  Obviously the news on Ray is not good but glad we won't see him on Joe Johnson, who pretty much torches him every time.  Thinking Avery and Pietrus will make him work tonight.

Joe shot 5-17.
