Al comes up huge in this game.

Every team will be playing at a high level to knock us off now.

Not good news.  Welcome to the party Luke.

Our first loss is quite possible tonight now with these injuries.

[celticinorlando]

Luke Kornet is going to play a lot tonight unfortunately.

[Silas]

Expect to see a lot of double-big tonight.

Edwards shooting 53% from 3? Wow, he is a load.

I’m curious to see who guards him. I’m not sure White can physically handle it. Jrue probably can. Jaylen maybe but he should be able to theoretically.

Why not?  I believe they are about the same size, and White is a stud on defense.

Looks like my argument is moot...White is out again.

Foot injury. Believe he is out still.

[Celtics2021]

Looking forward to an early season test potentially down two starters.  Depth is the biggest question on this team, and the earlier we get some answers on it, the better.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, hate that White is missing yet another game, but the double big lineup is probably more beneficial for us than White starting anyways.

Hopefully KP will be able to tough it out, particularly against big Minnesota.

It would be nice to see Pritchard finally step up in one of these chances.

Hope Porzingis can play tonight, otherwise it's going to be tough containing the TWolves front court with only Horford and Kornet

This will be a rough one if the Zinger can't go.  They will need to play small.

[SHAQATTACK]

I doubt we win with out two of our starters against this team.  They ‘ll pounce on a wounded lion.

[obnoxiousmime]

Not looking forward to the game if Porzingis is also out. The Wolves are massive size-wise and without Porzingis it's harder to draw Gobert out of the paint. This also means that the bench is required to play more minutes against a very deep Wolves team (since Edwards is still on his rookie deal they're somehow still under the tax line this season).

In a way, they're kind of similar to Boston in that they drafted well and had two stars, KAT and Edwards to our Tatum and Brown. While their duos are still together, everybody suspects the no 2 stars in KAT and Brown probably will be dealt before their next deal is up. They even both drafted a guy who is the potential cheap replacement from the 2nd round: Leonard Miller for the Wolves and Jordan Walsh for the Cs.

I think KP will at least try and give it a go. This may be the first time I’ve seen “right eye sty” on an injury report.
