Tatum (eye) will play in Friday's Game 3 against the Nets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports


Side note-Jayson needs to do something about KD punking him...It’s getting ridiculous.

I will be disappointed if Tristan Thompson doesn’t pick up a technical defending Tatum tomorrow.  Hopefully the fans can also spur the refs to at least go to the monitor the next time Tatum gets hit in the next/face/head by KD, too.

You don’t think Tatum should stand up for himself? KD is not exactly a tough guy.  Other Players are going to mess with him too if he acts soft.

This should be the point in Jason's career where he stands up for himself and goes from talented youngster, to a star that refuses to be screwed with. This should be a signal to veterans around the NBA that they may want to consider playing with JT.

I really hopes he steps up should he get punked.

I want to see Tatum throw some elbows and punches in addition to being a 50-point scorer, to show Durant how a real tough guy is

it sounds from this post as if you are hoping tatum becomes a thug. i think that is not desireable.

It's not helpful having your best player ejected

So you want the Cs best and only viable star player right now to get kicked out of a game?

New nickname for TL is Mr. Glass and it's not because he can rebound.

So he digs purple. Maybe Kings, Suns, Hornets or Lakers work for a trade.

Kemba (bone bruise) doubtful for Game 4.

Kemba (bone bruise) doubtful for Game 4.

Ho no, Brown, Williams and Kemba out... Against all the armada still on the board. Now we really need a miracle tonight with the th men push to an historic victory... Go C's !

But Kemba still injured will pose problem, I was thinking that with the way he ended the season, some teams could bite for him this summer. [dang]ed season.

[Goldstar88]

Kemba Walker (knee) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 at Brooklyn. The 31-year-old was unable to play during Game 4 on Sunday and is expected to remain unavailable for Tuesday's potential elimination game.


Robert Williams (ankle) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nets. The 23-year-old sprained his left ankle during Game 3 and sat out Game 4 on Sunday, and he's not expected to retake the court for Tuesday's potential elimination game.


What else is new... Guess it’s best to just sit them both at this point.  No reason to risk further injury.

Glass twins? 

I wanted Danny to lock up TL after this season

But might be smarter to field for offers in the offseason

Cant run a team with one healthy big. Who is also not healthy all the time

Gordon Hayward suffered one of, if not the worst, injuries on the court that anyone will ever see. He did everything in his power to make his way back. I understand he suffered additional injuries during his time in Boston, but I will never question that guys toughness or willingness to play. Kemba, on the other hand, may be as soft as they come and is almost fitting of being the face of the team this season.

The fact of the matter is...they both were max contract players and just simply didn't live up to our expectations. Terrible signings.

Both are officially out.

I think that this kind of thinking has actually made it's way into my head a bit too. Hayward made his way back from gruesome injuries and plain annoying ones (hand break, ankle sprain).

Kemba seems to sit out because of pain management as much as anything, even in the playoffs
