Yep. And this is just speculation, but I would imagine his status is seriously in doubt for tomorrow. We're probably looking at a 2-3 record by Thursday night.

"Sick" is Brad for "brain injury."

Weird they said "sick".

The offense is really going to take a hit with Horford out. He creates quality looks, and without him, the offense probably doesn't shoot as well.

I wonder who replaces him in the starting lineup, they probably need Zeller to cover Lopez but I wouldn't be shocked if they went Thomas, Bradley, Smart, Crowder, Amir.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz

Jordan Mickey is going to Wally Pip him!  Ok probably not.  Assuming this is just a few games and then he is back to normal this could be a good thing if Mickey does get some minutes and proves useful.  Plus this way Cleveland won't get an early look at how he fits in and how they play with him.   (How's that for a glass half full way of looking at it )

The Celtics just announced that Al Horford has been placed in the league's concussion protocol after taking a blow to the head in practice.

Curious how that happened. Also maybe we get to see some more substantial Mickey minutes tonight?

Smart is expected to be back tonight. So with the Bulls not really having dangerous bigs I expect us to go small and use a lot of Crowder and Brown at the 4.

Lopez is a pretty good offensive rebounder thats my biggest concern

Did JM do it??  ;D

Seriously though, what dummy did this... this is also on cbs for prob having these guys go at 100 percent in practicr

Horford will be out at least  a week or possibly longer depending on the severity
