Welcome to the Garden, where the Boston Celtics (11-2) will take on the New York Knicks (4-9) at 8 p.m.

  • Reggie Miller is in the house to do the game for TNT. He and Celtics forward James Posey chatted for a bit before Posey went out to the court for warm-ups. If you remember, the Celtics courted Miller to come play for them this season, and Miller gave it serious consideration, working out with Kevin Garnett, before deciding against a comeback.

    Posey and Tony Allen are on the court right now working out for the Celtics. Allen is doing some squats on his injured left knee. As much as he’d like to go through a normal routine, the knee is still very much an issue for Allen in terms of preparation.

  • On the other end of the court, Quentin Richardson and Jared Jeffries are among the players working out for the Knicks. Richardson is taking threes. Jeffries is working on some post-up moves.

    Nate Robinson is also on the court for the Knicks. Robinson is listed in the media guide at 5 feet, 9 inches. I’m not even sure he’s that tall.

    Tonight’s tip is a little later for national television. We’ll have notes from the locker rooms as soon as they open.
