I, also am concerned about the unexpected absence of FlCeltsfan and her great game threads.  In the meantime here is a game thread for tonight's game with Atlanta.
Tip off is at 7 pm ET, more like 7:10, on NBC Sports Boston, FanDuel Sports Network Southeast and NBA League Pass.

Hawks injury report:
PROBABLE
Hunter (left foot soreness)
Young (right rib contusion)
QUESTIONABLE
Johnson (right shoulder inflammation)
OUT
Bufkin (right shoulder surgery)
Nance (right hand surgery)
Risacher (left adductor irritation)
Zeller (nwt)

Celts injury report:
Al Horford (left big toe sprain) - OUT
Kristaps Porzingis (left PTT return from injury management) - OUT
Jayson Tatum (left shoulder strain) - AVAILABLE

Let's have another blowout win and continue to feel good about this team.  Go Celts!

Hope all is well with FLCeltsFan

Apparently Porzingis AND Horford are both OUT tonight. So yeah... hopefully Kornet and Queta can step up but we may just need to rely on Tatum and our guards to rebound a bunch more than usual. Even then, guys like Capela will probably feast on the glass.

Thanks Silas! TP.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Thanks Silas!

Hopefully we see another quality effort and gameplan like last night and we don't just revert back to lazy effort and chucking threes.

Meanwhile the Hawks got back a lot of their injured guys, just in time for us!  ::)

Love that Q and Luke will get a lot of time tonight.  Btw - miserable day today with Xfinity getting NBCSB back on my lineup.  But good to go.

Thanks for the thread Silas.  Sending good thoughts to FlCeltsfan.

Doing a very good job pressuring the basketball to start this one.

Jrue starting to make his 3's.   Hopefully he's found his stroke.
