Per Ime Udoka, Al Horford will likely not make the trip to Toronto with the team.

Okay. I hate saying or even pondering this without knowing the situation, but what could be the personal reason that would require two missed games in a row like this? I've heard his sister was getting married, but can't imagine you'd need to miss two games for something like that. Will really hurt with Timelord out tomorrow, too.

Next two are Toronto and Philly. Wish it was OKC and Sacto…

No, it's Toronto and Miami, not Philly. Just as bad, though.

That White pick isn't looking so bad...

 

There is a good chance that pick conveys at #28.

Thanks. Hopefully Miami stays in the doldrums they’ve been in and Al comes back for that one. Also, I’m interested to see Grant check Adebayo. I think he can contain him.

It's not Anna - she got married last Friday.

I have been banging on about that trade being fine since it happened.

I'm worried even less about the 2028 pick swap. This will be a dynasty, and the swap will not convey. You heard it here first.

White’s only been here a short while too. Collective BBall IQ of this team is very high.

Shout-out to KAT: he’s hanging out in the stands chatting with some friends and tons of kids are running up for selfies. And, after a 20-point loss, he’s got a huge smile for every kid who comes up to him (and they’re all wearing green). #classact

Good to taste first place again

Get well TL.

It's kind of amusing watching him on the court.  He tries to pump himself up to be this tough, physical guy flexing and screaming all over the place but it isn't really in his nature.  Dude is a big, likeable teddy bear.

That is awesome.

[slamtheking]

watched on tape delay.  tonight's hot takes:
- Tatum and Brown looked absolutely dominant today. 
- how much better could they have been if Al was there?  is that even possible?
- Smart still a little careless with the ball, team as a whole in the first quarter, but once the TO-fest ended, they just put the Wolves in the rearview mirror
- FIRST PLACE TASTES OH SO SWEET!!

criminy!!  on january 6th the celtics were 18 - 21.

since then they are 29 - 7. 

[SHAQATTACK]

At least Al being out was not health issue ,  and he will have more time off to get recharged for the final run.

Class act? Or representative of who he is as a player.

Minnesota were only half a game behind Denver for an automatic playoff spot.

As the leader of his team, he’s all smiles after being trounced and put in a very average performance against a Celtics team without Horford and Rob Williams leaving the game early.
