They can give his spot to Beal....or even JB.

Naw. I wanna see him in it, as a Celtic.
Tatum too. And I can only hope that Brown makes it, as a Replacement.

I am sure both will be at the ASG right now. Will be Kobe tributes and everything, going to be big.

edit: ASG is a fake game anyway on the court, so.......

Hopefully it is also his size.


What jersey size does Tacko wear?


Tacko shot 6 for 6 with Maine.

First thought was, why didn't they give him the ball more?



Only watching to see Tacko.

There is also 2020 All-Star Jayson Tatum, and even 2019-20 NBA Rookie of the Year Ben Simmons, but Tacko is the entertainment.

Tatum might be in more commercials than even Lebron! See him in everything recently!

These guys? I got out of bed wrong, I gotta sit out.

IDK. Larry did have to retire kinda early, due to back problems.


I think McHale is practically limping to this day--because SetShot is right that they would have played through a lot of this kind of atuff.

Brown and Tatum have struggled against the Sixers this season mainly due to the defense of Richardson and Thybulle. Harris too but to a lesser extent. The Jays will need to play better for the Celtics to have a chance in this game. Richardson being out should help a little.

The only injury is Robert Williams. Kanter has a bruised hip and Walker is sore.

A bruise and a sore arent not injuries. I find sitting Walker out tonight as ridiculous.

I also don’t want to see him or Tatum in the all-star gams. They miss a lot of games. No need to play an all-star game.

IDK. -- I mean, the NBA is tougher now. The physicality is greater.
And, there's 15 Players on a Team. 17, with the Two-Ways.

I just don't think that the Stars have to play Every Game, anymore.
I think it's more important, to be Fresh for the Playoffs.

That's a whole 'nother season.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY. League is so soft we may as well start going bi and including some WNBA players. No disrespect to the WNBA.

Yah let's not act like that approach is the end all be all.

Oooo tough men...only play for 10 years but at least they were tough!

Tough men win titles though.

And these guys are under 26/27 yrs old to boot! Let's not act like they're in their mid 30's and need the type of "load management" Pop gave Duncan,Parker and Ginobli at the end.......

Brad wants to do this...fine.

But not one word from anyone on the team complaining about no home court advantage in the playoffs......

Yeah, i'd be okay if they were older but this is getting out of hand.

McHale does indeed limp cause IIRC he played for awhile on an unheated fracture??

McHale played with a broken bone in his foot during the 1987 playoffs, one of the main reasons the C's lost to the Lakers in the Finals that year. He gave it his all (and then some), but wasn't himself.

Yup. Thanks.

1987 & 2010 should have been ours. :banghead:
