Tatum went down with a pretty bad ankle roll late in the game vs Sac tonight. I'd be very surprised if he plays on Wed, may end up missing the game next Friday against Phoenix as well.

celtics don't have as much to play for

The Suns have won four straight games, which coincides with the first four games of their five game home stand.

Keep it going.

I wish I had some idea just what happened to make the players quit screwing around and play hard. Perhaps they had one of those players-only meetings; or perhaps one of the leaders, probably Booker, just decided he had had enough of losing and would not tolerate more.

Bradley Beal will be OUT and miss his 5th straight game against the Celtics.

Jayson Tatum is DOUBTFUL to play against the Suns.

If I was the Celtics, our game matters zero percent to them. Even if Tatum says he's good to play, if he's not 100%, I rest him this game. They KNOW they are going to the playoffs and seeding is pretty secure at this point for them. Also, odds are still good versus us with Tatum missing the game. I just think it's a no brainer for Celtics to make sure Tatum is OK before putting him on the court again.

I think it's easy. We had some of the worst plus/minus guys go down. We subbed them for hustle/energy players like Oso, Gillespie, Dunn, and Martin. Look at all the second looks we are suddenly getting on offense. Blocks, steals, dunks, etc, that get the team up. It's a better product to watch, too. If we could ever keep turn overs under double digits in games, we would be a scary team.
