Saw that both Smart and Williams suffered leg injuries.  How serious are they? 

The C's need everybody healthy for the Nets series.

Williams is just the type of player the Celtics need for future title contention, but he is made of glass.
Seems to be the norm for the Celts of late. Maybe the Bias curse is still around.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

Smart hurt what looked like an ankle in the 2nd quarter.  Looked bad at the time, but he re-entered a few minutes later, and played very physical basketball throughout the second half.  I’d expect him to be fine for the Nets.

Time Lord went down a couple minutes later when he had an awkward landing going for a rebound and might have landed on Tatum’s foot.  I think he started the second half, but didn’t last more than a minute.  I don’t expect him to be available for at least the beginning of the Nets series, given how recurring this injury seems to be for him.  I wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t see him again this year, to be honest.

With Vince Carter gone, no-one in the NBA overreacts more to incidental contact than Marcus Smart. He's fine.

The Time Off Lord's injury concerns were real. It would be a mistake to count on him as a rotational player or invest too much money in him.

Agreed. They need to replace Cs this player in the offseason.

Also TP for Time Off Lord. Haha!

Time Lord needs to play under control i have never seen a center hit the deck so often like he does.Its great all that vertical but off balance and extending with no concerns on landing.He is still young and puts out some serious energy on court.It's about learning to harness it.
