"Stevens says Bradley has a significant hamstring injury, "very unlikely for the rest of the series."

I guess we were right to fear the worst.

That's not surprising, but it's a bummer.

This might be the stake through the heart of the Celtics playoff chances.  Not good at all.

Time for Marcus Smart to put up.

Or shut up.

you mean as he did yesterday?

No matter what happens, this off-season is going to be big. Our future doesn't rest on this series.

yup, this will be a gut check for Marcus, but i wouldn't be surprised if Evan replaces him in the lineup.
bradleys game has been as good as i wish it would be for the last qtr of the season, getting back to being a lock down defender, going to the basket and making shots.
atlanta just got a break here, but the celtics are not out of the series.

More on the injury front :

"Kelly Olynyk said that his right shoulder soreness is "basically the same" as the soreness that caused him to miss 12 games from 2/19-3/15."

Game 1 really depleted our team at the worst possible moment. Sigh.

I'm surprised that the team evaluated Bradley without an MRI, it's not clear if they still plan to do one or not.

Boston's injury luck is just awful.

This is extremely bad news. I also think Crowder's ankle is only 70% healed; ankle sprains have a nasty tendency to stick around. We will need some good luck to win this series.

According to various Twitter outlets:

We are 3-3 when Bradley didn't play this season.
One of those wins was the lone win vs Atlanta in November. Smart replaced Avery in the starting lineup.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

For us to have a chance without Avery, Marcus is going to need to keep hitting some threes.  Jonas is going to have to hit some long range shots, as well, particularly if Kelly is hampered by that shoulder.

Bradley
Olynyk out
Jerebko forgot how to shoot
Crowder is not nearly healthy and cant make a single jumper

We are in trouble if two of our three best jump shooters are Sully and Smart.

I think our dearth of shooting could lead to some more RJ Hunter cameos.

Crowder, Jerebko, Smart, IT

those 4 have to step up big time and thats concerning because Smart isnt a shooter, Crowder is clearly hurt, IT is good but you need more than one and hes even more of a scorer than a shooter. he needs to make some layups and fts before he shoots many threes. Jerebko is the one for me. He shot 40% this year. He has got to come out and shoot lights out.

I think it's a bit premature to say Jonas "forgot how to shoot" based on one poor shooting game. 

Edit:

Just saw your follow up post.  Yes, clearly Jonas needs to make some shots.
