Confirmed: Paul Pierce returns tonight.
And Pierce will start, not come off the bench.

Just heard it on CSN.  Starting, but not playing "starter's minutes."  We'll see.  Hope they aren't panicking and throwing him out there before he's healthy (it's our job to panic, not Doc's)

Hope he truly is ready and isn't being rushed back, but we shall see. Great to have him back.

And in related health news, Chris Wilcox says his shoulder feels better ; he should be able to return against Washington on Sunday.

good lord I hope we don't lose tonight WITH him in the lineup.


though i guess that would at least remove the main excuse . . .


but seriously, this is good news.  will be very glad to see him back.

I hope Pierce is not rushing back as a result of our 0-3 start.
