Welcome to the Garden …
Welcome to the Garden, where the Boston Celtics (50-18) will take on the Miami Heat (36-30) at 7 p.m. (note the early tip time).
The Celtics will be shorthanded tonight, but we still don’t know how much so. The locker rooms open at 5:30, so we’ll get a better sense of who’s playing and who isn’t at that time. Not sure how much to read into this, but Tony Allen, not Ray, was the lone Celtic warming up when I arrived at the arena around 4:30 p.m. Ray Allen is almost always the first Celtic to get his shooting in.
Rather than speculate, we’ll check back in shortly when we find out more injury details here. Stay tuned.
