NBA PLAYOFFS: Rnd 1, Gm 2 – Magic @ Celtics – 7:00PM, Wed, April 23, 2025

I can understand dismissing my take outright, I do that with all of yours. Fair is fair.

Tatum isn't nearly as soft as you allege. He will play tonight.

What part of "I wouldn't be surprised if he played, he is tough" was difficult reading? It's in the part you quoted.

I was wondering the same thing about me claiming to be "Dr. Turdbiscuit, Internet M.D"

But here we are.

Shams RIGHT NOW on ESPN with Malika:
"Celtics are expecting to be without Jayson Tatum at least tonight going into game two."

Well. If Tatum doesn't play, then it gets interesting. He may also play, but be hobbled a bit.
In any event, we have 6 Starters, and are basically Stacked. So, let's see what these other Champions are made of.

We should Win this whole Series, without Tatum.

You claimed it was a lie that he had a bone bruise because you didn't think the fall was all that hard. Thus the moniker.

He'll play. He doesn't miss games. Certainly not bone bruises.

C’s troll game is getting legendary.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Shams with an update: Tatum likely missing the game tonight (at least) and that the wrist is really painful right now.

My 7 year old just randomly told me that Celtics were going to win 104 to 91 tonight.

Given that he typically spews bullcrap numbers like "ten million hundred", I was really impressed that he chose something that could be very realistic.

KCP gave them a fighting chance with that non-basketball play. If JB and KP show up like they're capable of, it will be all for naught and KCP will have his day. The basketball gods don't sleep.

[Tyakack]

I don't usually buy into the whole, "this team is dirty" thing. In this case though, F*** Orlando. What they said afterwards made me more mad than the actual play. I hope we embarrass them without Tatum.

[redslastlaugh]

How bad is KCP gonna get it from the crowd tonight?

Kyrie level?
Draymond Green level?
Bill Laimbeer level?

[Gant]

The good news if Tatum doesn't go: The Celtics were 8-2 without him this year. The bad news: Both losses were to the Magic.

That last loss was the end of season game that the top 6 sat, after playing OT in New York the night before, and getting into Orlando at 4am.

[London2Boston]

Should still get by this whole round without Tatum. Might take a little longer though.

Next round onwards would become problem though having a hurting JT and JB.

The casuals need to see some Boston losses while Tatum is out in order to calculate Tatum’s importance.

No disrespect to Orlando but I’m not seeing it this time around

[redslastlaugh]

Somebody needs to step up if JT doesn't play. Question is: who's getting JT minutes?
Is Joe going more dbl big so Al + KP + Luke just play more mins
Is Joe giving the mins largely to Sam Hauser
or
Could we see a few minutes here and there of Torrey Craig and/or Baylor Scheierman?

[ConstableGeneva]

Tatum is nowhere to be found. Probably looking for ways to harden himself.

[ConstableGeneva]

It's official. No JT. Hoping it's nothing serious.
