Hauser

Kornet

Reserves:
X

I actually think that is more than enough to beat the Jazz.

[blink]

Lets hope Sam's hot 3 point shooting continues.  If so, we should be able to beat the Jazz w/out JB and KP and Al.
JT gotta come out like an all star tonight though.   He probably needs some rest too.

I like that Sam, PP and Luke are getting an uptick in minutes lately.  I hope that continues up to the playoffs.  We need those 3 playing well once we hit the playoffs.

Maybe JT needs a game where he is the guy.

Ugh, figured Al would be out and thought JB could be, too, given his injury he’s been dealing with.

But I don’t like seeing KP on there, too. I figured they kept him out last night as a more precautionary thing, as well as it being a B2B so he could play tonight. But with him missing tonight it makes it seem like a more substantial injury, which you don’t like to see for a hamstring issue.

Yeah, never like to see a hamstring.  But the cushion they have is a gift. Get that thing healed. And in the meantime get Tillman acclimated.

Sucks KP and Brown aren't playing, I'm going to be at the game! Really was looking forward to seeing KP live.

Tatum should have been forced to sit. Honestly who cares at this point if they lose? Oh no! They will drop to a slim 7-game lead in the standings. Focus on health + staying fresh for the postseason

I imagine the MVP campaign is a motivating factor for Tatum at this point.

That and the participation policy.  JB and Tatum (nor Jrue) aren’t supposed to sit in the same game without good reason.

#NEBHInjuryReport for tonight at Utah:

Jaylen Brown (sacroiliac strain) - OUT
Al Horford (left big toe sprain) - OUT
Svi Mykhailiuk (personal reasons) - QUESTIONABLE
Kristaps Porzingis (right hamstring strain) - OUT

And that's why they sat X last night. For those people slitting wrists that he's been forgotten, they'll be seeing a lot of him tonight.

If we lose I guarantee you a lot of people here will care, enough to call for Joe to be fired, to say we suck and how dare we lose to a bottom feeder...this is a tough crowd

According to Abby, Joe told her it's not a serious or long term issue. Just an abundance of caution (and to keep the load management folks happy  )

A bit OT but it’s interesting that Joe and his staff watched IT’s GLeague game.

I’m focused on the West too. Would drop to 4 over OKC. Still likely to hold on but I’d rather lock it up and then rest.

Averaging 31 points a game in his two games so far.  Bring him back to Boston.  The 15th man isn’t going to add anything ont he court — you can tell he’d be good for the locker room.  I know he’s still close with Jaylen.
