Celtics Injury Report:

Payton Pritchard - Left Thumb Sprain - QUESTIONABLE
Kristaps Porzingis - Left Posterior Tibialis Tendon Surgery Rehabilitation - OUT

Cavs Injury Report:
OUT: Max Strus, Dean Wade, Emoni Bates
QUESTIONABLE: Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro

As expected, Donovan Mitchell is AVAILABLE after missing their last game (rest).

Cavs could be even thinner on wings for this game. Expect a ton of mismatches.

If this team comes out like the ring ceremony on opening night, we get a win, if they come out like the last few games, its good night Charlie.

Go C's!

I really hope PP is playing. It's crazy how important he has become for us. No way he sits over a thumb sprain. Time to restore order in the East.

May miss all this game Live but will watch the replay without knowing the score.

May read this whole thread.

What I don't want to read is "If only we had KP" or don't worry 'it's only November..'

Excuses are for weak minded folks.

To me, it's simple, if the Cs lose then the Cavs are simply better than the Celtics right now, in November.

Good night, Charlie.

Litmus test

For the Cavs.

The Celtics already had their litmus test last season.

After the Warriors loss to the Clippers, this is now also a matchup between teams with the top two best records in the NBA.

Friendly reminder that SBOBO Brad Stevens, who knows all and is infallible, picked the Cavaliers -- not the Bucks, Knicks, Sixers -- to win the East this season in the Annual GM Survey. GMs couldn't vote for their own team. Every other GM voted for the Celtics to come out of the East.

If we move the ball, create open looks and keep them out of the restricted zone we should have this.

Key for me is how we defend Garland and Mobley. Tatum and White will be busy.

Cavs will force White to defend Mobley and Al will end up against Garland a number of times.

It looks like Jrue is available, who is more important than PP. i want to see PP, too, though.

Cavs have no healthy wing defenders. I''d favor a healthy Cavs team against the current Celtics. Without them, Celtics are clear favorites tonight.

Define "current Celtics." With or without Porzingis?

Without, ofcourse.
