I love the Celtics....but they are in trouble. No depth. Several guys hurt. Several other on the fence

Hayward, Smart and Theis are all done for the season...Kyrie is on his last leg literally...

No depth?  Hahahahaha!  We are a solid 10 deep, our depth is all injured.  Them's the breaks.  But lets not pretend this team isn't deep.  We just got bad bad luck here.....

I sprained my thumb playing hoops in my early 20’s and could not play for several weeks. It’s impossible to grip the ball and you run the risk of it to popping out again if you try to come back early. Smart is tougher than me but he’s human. I’d be surprised if he comes back before playoffs start. Hopefully he makes it back by then..

I would bet most nba players have larger hands than you, too

Well it certainly seems like there is a bit of conflicting information out there.  Yahoo is reporting a 'tear' but others like espn are calling it a 'tendon injury'.  It is also being reported that the C's are looking at 2nd opinions on it.

I guess when I hear 'tear' it feels that it might require surgery, but when I hear 'sprain' that makes me think no surgery.  If it is a more minor injury that could allow smart back in the lineup by the time the playoffs start it would be huge for us.  Crossing fingers that maybe the initial reporting was worse than what really happened.

You realize that we already clinched the postseason right?  That means even if we deliberately lost ever single game from here on out, we still wouldn't get a lottery pick.  There's no point in tanking because we literally can't do it now.  -crank the tank- is not gonna be a thing cos it can't be.

Well, at least it is his shooting hand.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Assuming Jaylen and Horford are fine, we'll be fine. Rozier has shown he can handle 30 mpg these days, Larkin is a passable backup, and we have Monroe ready to take Theis minutes.

Not ideal, but fine, and pretty well entrenched in the #2 seed.
