I'm starting to feel like we're on a dinosaur tour and there are no dinosaurs in sight.

If Smart is done and/or significantly limited the rest of the way, that might just do it for this team's hopes of getting out of the first round.

Time to unleash Scary Terry. I really think there's monumental potential in him. You can't teach his fearlessness.

This is insane.  I'm not very confident at this time for a deep playoff run.  I know Brown will be back and Kyrie will be a full go come playoff time but the depth is being tested.  Losing Theis hurts the big man depth but losing Kyrie hurts the defense big time.  If the team goes on a run similart to the 11 games Smart missed prior the the all star break it will show how essential he is to the team.

Geez 😞😞😞😞😞

That sucks!!  I was hoping he had just jammed a finger or something when he dove on the floor trying to get that steal.  Might as well stick a fork in the Celtic season now.

Ugh.  Well, we weren't winning a championship this season with Hayward out and all.  But I definitely wanted to make the Finals or at the very minimum a highly competitive ECF.  Looking more and more in doubt with all of these darn injuries.

Just gotta hope for the best next season.  I'd prefer to dump some of our younger players next year and add some solid vets with the vet's minimum as we gear up for a real championship run.

This isn't close to KG's fateful visit to Utah in 08-09 season but between GH, THIS, and Kyrie's lingering knee it's troubling.

Hard to stay optimistic with the string of injuries.  Hopefully he can play through it in the playoffs.  Personally I would take Marcus without a right hand lol. 

The only semi-positive outlook is that these injuries will literally remove the pressure from the team once the playoffs begin.  Maybe this will help the young guys let loose.  Wishful thinking on my part.

There goes our toughness for the most part.  JK well not really.

If the C's had ANY quality depth it wouldn't be a death sentence, the problem is they just don't.  When this team is forced into playing the 10th, 11th, 12th.... guys it's over.

I will bring back Gerschon and Bird ASAP.   I don't know if I can take much more Nader.
