Just the flu - no big worries.

"The circus continues," joked Rivers, who also returned to practice after missing Monday's session due to a personal matter.

"Paul looked good, Rondo you couldn't tell because he didn't do much,” Rivers said. "So we'll see [Wednesday]. I think [Rondo is] going to go, but I wouldn't write that down in pen, for sure. Paul probably will [play Wednesday], that's what it looks like. So that would help us a lot. Just getting one of those guys back, I'd be happy. Both would be absolutely fantastic."

Rivers sounded less optimistic about Perkins and House, considering league rules about players with fevers, especially in light of the widespread H1N1 illness this year.

"The league has really pressed upon us that, if a guy has a fever, he has to stay away from the team, because he's contagious at that point," said Rivers.

no perk is always a big loss, more minutes for baby to get back into some rythm i guess

having paul and rondo back would be great

I wonder what this team will look like with a full healthy roster? If it happens...

Why punish yourself? We know that won't happen.

this is often wishful thinking when the average age of your team is 45 :lol:

^ Your sense of humor is so bad, it almost made me laugh. Almost.

seems H1N1 shots aren't that hard to come by...I think we can "survive" Eddie's absence if RR is ok, Perk, OTOH, different story, Sheed on J'ONeal and no KG.
Ouch.

If he's not at least 80% ready, I'd rather have Pierce get some extra rest for another game or two and see how TA play against Wade or JJ.
