Far out. Guess Semi is going to get a bunch of minutes.

Or.... Morris will play 35MPG and chuck even more

I know he's a flawed player, but the Moose signing should help us with some size at least. If we're looking at Horford and Baynes out with Williams out as well we're going to need him. Unless Brad wants to go with a Five Dwarfs lineup. I wouldn't recommend that going against LaMarcus Aldridge.

Gutted for Timelord though...this has been a wasted season for him pretty much, though I hope he's been learning a lot behind the scenes. He hasn't been able to play much for the Celtics yet has missed a lot of time with the Red Claws as well because he has to be on the bench as cover for our bigs getting injured.

Glad that Williams is going to be okay, considering he stood up and walked off the court on his own.

Injuries like that can be really scary, when you're falling backwards. Jaylen's fall in Minnesota last year was pretty scary too.

Having said that, I'll never understand how a professional basketball player can miss a slam dunk and then fall that awkwardly.

I saw a hand in his back... Kemba?

God forbids but Brad already did the strangest things. Remember the 3-guard lineup with AB, IT and Smart?

The injury bug is finally hitting the Celtics this late into the season.

They'll be limping into the playoffs, becoming feasting preys for the Indiana Pacers.

Far out, I'd suppressed that memory.

Oh well. I'm rooting for it to end quickly, at this point.

I'm rooting for mercy.

Or maybe Kyrie can just chuck 50 heaves, a coupla mesmerizing crossovers, backflips, and win us the game

Sandwiched around 1 scintillating pass to Horford.

Important point of clarification - neither of them have been officially ruled out or even declared questionable at this point. While it seems likely that Timelord will be out for a few games, it's much less clear if Tatum will also miss time. Title is a bit misleading.

I hate this signing.

Yabusele is better than Moose. At least Yabusele can defend.

[GreenWarrior]

we won't miss tatum, he's like the 4th option on the team and when he does get the ball it's been so long since he had it in his hands he forgets what to do with it.

Loss of Williams bums me. Thought he’d get some good minutes to finish season, could be a limited minutes weapon in playoffs in certain matchups.

Bums me too but from a player development standpoint.  Williams needs the court time for his development even though its unlikely he'd contribute in this year's playoffs.
