Has KP been reported as out?

One of the posters here has been telling me KP is out, according to what he's read.


According to the score he is now a GTD.

Good news Mr JB, Good News. Now, if only Mazzulla was out for the game...

The sooner the Celtics dump Mazzulla, the quicker they'll be closer to a championship

I just hope no Celtics player especially Jaylen Brown makes any kind of gesture during the game otherwise the Celtics are doomed.

Would you rather him not do it? I'd rather have JB's competitiveness against the Warriors then Tatum's scared act.

Don't think it matters at all. NBA players are doing stupid antics and gestures every single night. It's a big nothing.

There it is. Let's see how JB handles being primary.

Celtics are 9-13 w/ JB w/o JT since 2019-20.

As long as Kristaps plays I think we'll be fine. Be curious to see the stats, but him + Brown on the floor together seems like it has been a lethal combo.

I really think they win this one, if Porzingis is playing. Harford needs a rest, Tatum faded, they just need Porzingis, White, Pritchard, Queta, Holiday, Brown to play well.

Without Tatum, it's +2.8 in 222 possessions so far.

White | Jrue | JB | Brissett | Porzingis
Banton | PP | Hauser | Stevens | Queta

Cs have been one of the healthier teams 1/3 into the season. We should've been expecting injuries gonna happen at some point. Need to scrape up some wins regardless. Just tough that it happened on a West coast trip.

So 6 road losses so far. In five of those, we were missing at least one starter.

Looking forward to Brissett scoring 8 points in the first 3 minutes then benched for the rest of the game.

JB said we can't lose 2 in a row. Let's see.

Because our coach premeditates and pregames his rotations and cannot adjust on the fly or is refusing to even try..
No matter how you think of Brissett as a player, He was clearly making a big impact in his short time.. Amazing that he didn't get a A minute after that..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Or another 30 spot from our new #1 option, D. White.

May be a loss without JT.

Think you guys are underestimating the Kings. Fox is another guard breaking out, and they're tough.

They beat Denver without Murray despite Jokic having like 100000 points triple double.

They're a solid team.

Even if JT sank that shot last night, this one already felt like a loss. These guys play fast and will be big trouble.

For the record, I'm okay losing these two as long as Lebron gets smoked on Christmas
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]
