David Lee (heel) and R.J. Hunter (hip flexor) out for New Orleans game

The Celtics look to end their five-game road trip on a winning note, but will have to do so short-handed:

No D-Lee or RJ Hunter for the Celtics tonight in New Orleans.

Lee missed Saturday's loss in San Antonio, a game where his services were dearly needed as the Celts were outscored 44-30 in the paint. Hunter's absense will sting as well as the C's are already thin in the backcourt without Marcus Smart.

I have been a die hard Celtics fan since birth, even though I don't really want to talk about the ML Carr/Rick Pitino Eras but I will if necessary.
