Please tell me that Kyrie Irving is over on the bench area tonite. Please tell me he didn't stay home again because he is hurt. I don't see him over there ?

He's at the game.  Actual LOL at the fact that you are in a sudden panic over this.

I knew I would take a few smart alec comments from my question, though lots of regular members here have their own little obsessions with this team (Roy & Terry Rozier, Half the Board & Marcus Smart).

So........... Kyrie leaving early and then not attending the subsequent home game when he had the facial injury was not a good look for me. This is an important issue because this group thrived on chemistry last year and much of that chemistry was traded and Kyrie is not exactly famous for being a great teammate. He seems to have put some effort towards that this year, but I'm afraid his basic nature is that of a self-centered person and that ain't what the Celtics are about.

So, you say he is at the game......................exactly where is he, cause I don't see him over there in the bench area anywhere ??

Gee, how dare he stay home after he broke his face? I'm sure that bright arena lights and loud crowd would've been a lot of fun to sit through with your face throbbing. So selfish.

You're making a huge deal out of nothing. He could be watching from training room/locker room area as KG frequently did when he was here and missed games. I mean, Gordon has the boot off. Why aren't you freaking out about him not sitting on the bench?

Jo Jo White is also not at the game.

He was interviewed before the game.  He is there.

What did you think about KG never being on the bench?

Keep blaming him dude, LOL.

Anyone who refers to someone in conversation as "dude" automatically loses credibility with me.

As I remember, KG was on the bench the entire playoff when he was hurt in 2009 - he was on his feet and cheering at every opportunity. KG is the one responsible for changing the culture of that group when he got here in '07. I also remember KG flying cross-country in the middle of the off-season to be at Shaq's introductory press conference in 2011.

I'm gonna have to start trash talking Smart now so that they come back and he makes some signature last second plays.

I do not understand why the ball is not going into the hands of people who can actually score.

Honestly: what are you talking about?  Who is not getting the ball that you think should?  Everyone is seeing it and not making aggressive moves, not getting open, not back cutting.  No one is being froze out.
Tatum/Morris etc. People who can actually create their own shot

Tatum has been gun shy..they'd give him the ball...he passes back to Smarrt who in turn bricks it.
This is where the coach should say something except it looks like brad has been sleeping this game.

To be fair, Smart is 6-11 tonight.  Not as bricky as usual.

That's the one thing I get concerned about with him - he can be super passive at times. He's too talented to not be a factor as has been the case tonight.

He wasn't on the bench the entire regular season after he was hurt.  Maybe you weren't watching back then.  We are watching a regular season game right now .

Wow dude losing credibility with you is a shame.

Where was this urgency a long long long time ago?

I think all of those comebacks have spoiled these Celtics and made them think they can "turn it on" and win games by just playing halves at a time.

I think when your two best players aren't playing you will struggle.

Amen
We might want to dial down the angst a little bit.  We're having a bad game while missing our top two offensive options. 
It happens.

Eh, this has been the case most of the year even with Kyrie playing.
