Ugh, Smart injured now. Just before the Miami game too.

What happened to him? Sprained ankle or something else? I couldn't tell from the replay.

I didn't see it either, but he went straight from the court to the locker room, didn't stop at the bench.

Looked like an ankle. If they can stop gushing over Kobe for three seconds we may hear more about it.....I wouldn't hold your breath.

Don't forget "gushing about Zion," 'cause they're doing a lot of that too.

Zion is special. But he needs to lose some of that weight this offseason if he wants to play a long career. Just feels like at times he's sluggishly going up and down the court. Could be more athletic for sure

Is there a reason that the 3 counted and there was a technical? Brad alerted the refs to inform them that Smart wasn't on the court during the 3 point shot and the refs were like, "Oh, sorry about that - here's a technical, too."

Oh, and Kemba got totally fouled on that last missed lay-up. Hopefully the Pels cool down from 3 soon.

Theis has been payin' the bills for last couple weeks.

These Pelicans have talent, but there defense is floppy. What's left of Celtic's starters must hammer inside.

At this rate, Semi, Green and Theis are going to be the team's leading scorers.

Careful, social media will be out in force against you for fat shaming. (There were many articles the other day about people up in arms for the ESPN commentators suggesting he could stand to lose a little weight).

Hayward 2-6 and Kemba 0-6 ... that better change real quick, or Boston's gonna get throttled.

Case in point right there. Hayes wasn’t even set.

Another poor start. Hope they can recover

Yeah, not even close. Terrible call

I'm against fat shaming myself, but I'm just talking about it from a basketball standpoint and his injury risk. Considering what Zion's already been through injury-wise, he risks further injury if he goes up and lands on one leg (as Jay Williams mentioned a few days ago, "putting all 285 pounds of force into that one leg")

Which is why I’m worried.  Non contact injury running off the court favoring the ankle can mean an achilles injury

Hayes was clearly moving and up in the air at that. How in the world is that a charge??

Right ankle sprain for Smart. He's available to return, according to Celtics

Terrible call, but the Cs suck right now. They have to do a lot better.
