What about Romeo

Romeo is in health and safety protocols now.  I think he is only supposed to miss one game, but I get the feeling he is cursed.

A lot of young players get injured but go on to have relatively healthy careers.

It'll be nice to have the full team back. Good to have Smart back. This will push some of the bench guys back into there proper spots toward the end of he bench.

Romeo was cleared to play vs BKN but was unfortunately placed in the health safety protocol. Hopefully he makes it out in a few days.

This is just how he rolls. We gotta accept that. Whenever he is available is just gravy

Case in point, we don't have to go any farther than down the bench a ways to see the crap Robert Williams got his first two years on this very site about being injured.

Now in year three, does anyone here want to give up on "injury plagued" Rob Williams?

Back on subject, adding a healthy Smart is going to go a long way to making this team perform at a higher level. It will be good to see the Kemba, Smart, Brown, Tatum and a big lineups out there causing big problems for their opponents.

Bringing it full circle, Rob Williams as that big should be a load of fun to watch.

Brad Stevens: “I know (Marcus) just said he’s playing soon. He might. I still gotta talk to the training staff.” Says Smart will be on a low minutes restriction for several games to ease him in. Does sound like he will play tomorrow as Smart said he would.

Langford has missed the first 36 games of the regular season after undergoing surgery on a broken wrist back in September. He has been progressing through plenty of on-court rehab in the past few weeks ahead of games, leading him to be fully cleared this week.

“He’s been looking great,” Marcus Smart said Wednesday. “He’s been putting the work in day in and day out. I know it sucks, it’s been six months since he played and been able to practice with us and things like that. That’s tough, especially when he’s the only one in the gym, having to work by himself and seeing everybody else working together and doing things like that. He’s dedicated himself to the work and I think it’s going to show up out there.”

Let's hope he's worked on his shot. It would be nice if another one of the kids stepped up.
