What the hell??? So Smart is OUT, but so is Horford due to health & safety protocols...  :(

Ugh

#NEBHInjuryReport update:

Al Horford (Health & Safety Protocols) - OUT
Marcus Smart (right mid-foot sprain) - OUT

What the hell is right. So sick of these covid protocols. Is Horford actually infected or did he just walk by somebody on the sidewalk not wearing his mask. How contagious is this thing at this point anyway, most people have been vaccinated, I would think.

Speaking of which, why the hell hasn't Jaylen Brown been vaccinated - if not, the guy needs to get his head out of his ass. Hope he isn't listening to some of Kyrie's paranoid conspiracy theories.

Massively contagious. More contagious than previous versions. But if you’re vaccinated, you’re probably not ending up in the hospital.

At least Timelord is supposed to be fully back. Hopefully GWill can take the same defensive presence with Bam as he did with Giannis.

At this point the virus has been around 2 years, and even getting vaccinated doesn’t prevent you from getting it. Is the NBA comfortable having a musical chairs of guys sitting out in the most important games of the year — through no fault of their own?

What are we doing here?

Windhorst says some Celtics support staff have Covid. Al has said he's vaccinated which will mitigate the effects of COVID, but not prevent it.

Jaylen hasn't said that he's vaccinated, but that doesn't mean that he's not.

Welp, looks like this shifts the Heat's momentum...thanks to some bull technicality/protocol.

Can Al still come back for Game 2 or is he out the entire series?

Don't matter, I think Game 1 is a loss anyways. Tonight's refs...Zach Zarba, Tony Brothers, and Ed Malloy.

Three very very nightmarish refs.

After doing some reading, looks like 6 days if he’s asymptomatic. Windhorst says that some of the support staff have it though. Not holding my breath now.

I think the Celtics win tonight on the backs of solid play from White, Pritchard, and Grant with a smattering of Nesmith minutes for good measure.

I'm still confused how "health and safety protocols" and testing is still a thing when you literally have like 15,000+ (mostly) maskless people in the stands watching games...

Not just in the NBA but other sports too. It's even affected some hockey teams during the postseason

Because they have to punish the unjabbed....

Kyrie is right about some things...

Testing done in Miami? Miami personnel? Won't shock me if they're trying to pull something sketchy on the Celtics being visitors.

Yeah, this makes no sense...
