At first I didn't really believe it, but now I'm also beginning to think this really is a form of load management. Some guys might truly be hurt, but it seems like they're just swapping guys every few days and "taking turns" on who misses/rests lol

Unreal! Luckily we should still have enough to beat the Hawks at home. I could see this being a game very similar to the Magic game the other day. Close through 3 with the C's pulling away late.

We need a win tonight, as our next three games before the break are @OKC, @Smallball Houston, and the Clippers. Wouldn't surprise me if we went 1-2 in that stretch, so a win tonight is big.

Going to be very tough with 60% of the starting lineup hurt and Kemba on a minutes restriction. Maybe Tatum has a Herculean effort.

Another start for Romeo, along with Grant?

Could a 40 point night and another win net him an EC Player of the Week award? Would love to see it!!!

I think it's genuine niggling injuries that they're just using as an excuse to sit players. Here's Brad on Gordon being out.

If these were playoff games I'm sure some of them would be playing. Or, if it was someone other than Atlanta. Or maybe they want to take a good look at someone like Romeo in a full game environment where he's not just standing in a corner or chasing someone defensively.

EDIT: I'm not sure why some of my Twitter links are working and some aren't  :-[ Basically it said "Brad Stevens on Gordon Hayward sitting out: "Just a number of nagging things. He’s the one guy that, since Christmas Day, has played in every game. Everybody else has gotten an organic rest because of the injuries. … He’s probably been due the last couple of games to miss one.""
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I would, at this point, be a okay with releasing Tacko if it stops the incredibly stupid, insulting, disrespectful, immature, ill timed "We want Tacko!" chants.

So 2 guys come off the injury list, 2 guys go on. :(

Has anyone heard anything on Jaylen? How long is he expected to be out?

I wish nothing but the best for Tacko, but I'm so tired of hearing about him. He's probably tired of it. He's a fringe player trying to get a job on the end of the bench, and fans start with chants to put him in, even when games are in doubt. Wish they'd send him to Maine and leave him there for the rest of the year. He needs the minutes, and he's of zero value to the Celts right now.
