WALTHAM -- He hasn't played since Dec. 20. An injury that initially was diagnosed to keep him out 2-3 weeks is now on week six and likely will stretch to seven before he plays another game. Any wonder Paul Pierce felt a bit isolated as he watched his team drop 20 of 22 games in his absence?

CHICAGO -- The Celtics' starters played surprisingly few minutes in the final quarter last night, even though a comeback was within reach.

Delonte West was in uniform last night at the FleetCenter, after the Celtics activated the rookie point guard for the first time this season and placed forward Justin Reed (left hip pointer) back on the injured list.
