Bob DeChiara-US PRESSWIRE

The Boston Celtics earlier believed that they would be without the services of Kevin Garnett (hip injury) and Mickael Pietrus (sore knee) for tonight’s game against the Pistons. However, that appears to have changed because both KG and Pietrus were at practice and both say they are going to give it a go tonight. KG will now not miss his first game of the season.

I trust that Doc would not let these guys play if there was a risk of more serious injury. This means I plan on them being ready to go come game time with their usual effort. If there was any chance of a more serious injury, JaJuan Johnson and even Keyon Dooling can more than step in and give the team quality minutes.

The Celtics have had their fair share of injuries. Granted they were playing a bad Detroit team, but they can always use the services of both KG and Pietrus. Both guys bring a lot to the table. KG is a the heart of the interior defense for Boston and every time he sits, Boston’s defense is weakened. KG also helps on the offensive end with his solid fifteen foot jump shot. Pietrus brings not only tough defense and energy play, but solid outside shooting.

KG and Pietrus will not have to carry the load all night. The good news is guys like JaJuan Johnson, Chris WIlcox, and Keyon Dooling can give minutes so they can at least limit their time on the court. The beauty of a having a solid bench. Remember Go Green Or Go Home!!!!!!!
