So anyone know why Ant is not back? Yesterday was the 10th day.

Is he still sick? Or still testing positive?

Hoopshype has Finch saying JO is back tonight Bev is not. Starting five is without any true starters.

Celtics got back Williams and Horford but lost Smart to a hand laceration and Tatum to Covid.

If anyone is going to the arena, wear your sneakers, because they might need you to suit up.

That’s the worst starting 5 in nba history. We’re gonna struggle to score 50 and that’s if Beas is hitting his shots

F*ck the nba and their 2020 protocols. This is embarrassing that it’s even going on.

Hope Beas has found his shot and shoots well tonight.

I forgot that Josh Richardson exists. Still remember him being an asset of contention in the Jimmy Butler trade lol.

There has been a handful of other games cancelled, so why isn't ours cancelled? We've got 0 starters!!!!

Wolves would probably be winning now if they stop trying to be extra cute on offense... Beasley needs to shoot more instead of thinking he is a playmaker like Trae Young...these guys don't have the touch and vision to execute tough passes and most of them end up as turnovers...good effort so far though.

Good energy tonight but what separates our scrub team from Dallas' scrub team the other day is Dallas has guys who can flat out shoot. Our inability to hit shots is our greatest detriment this season, we need to continue to try and add snipers along with size as we mold this team.

I honestly forgot that Greg Monroe is a solid passer out of the high-post.

He's getting his shot and coming through. I've believed in this guy since draft night as you have as well. Winforlose too.

Isn't Greg Monroe in a nursing home?

Gregory has been fantastic tonight with those dimes and some timely boards.
