Eddie House is Out Tonight

Celtics guard Eddie House will not play tonight against Utah due to the recent death of his aunt. Coach Doc Rivers said its uncertain when House would return to the team.

Is Williams going to play tonight? If so I don't know how well Pruitt will deal with his strength. Tonight might be the first time we see Cassell log some minutes. We also might see Tony attempt to backup 3 positions and a little bit of Scal to help him out.

I'd like to see Pruitt get a shot at some minutes - I think its safe to say that TA will get extended minutes, but I don't think Sam should jump Pruitt in the rotation...

House has been vital to this winning streak---Hopefully Rondo will step it up tonight--not like the past two games.

I think it's time to throw Gabe into the fire.

Agree on both counts. Eddie outplayed Rondo against New Orleans...

Would like to see what Pruitt does with 20 minutes.

Williams is a tough cover, but the main thing that impressed me about Pruitt was his ability to stay in front of his man on D in preseason. I hope he gets a shot tonight.

Rondo will just play 40+ minutes. Not a big deal.

Gotta give Pruitt his chance. If he doesn't get a chance now then he never will. See what he can offer in meaningful minutes. So much to gain, so little to lose.

I forgot to say this on my last post but I'm sorry to hear about Eddie's lost. But I would like to see Gabe get a chance to play 15 to 20 minutes tonight. I think this kid needs some real live game actions. I just having a feeling Doc is going to go with Tony and Ray Allen. But we need to get this kids some solid minutes playing with Paul or Ray in that 2nd unit.

i wish gabe could see more minutes against good competition. I expect a nice game for rondo against williams though.
