If he's healthy, I think they can consider it, and shut him down if it's not working out or if there are concerns about his health. That's the advantage of no longer having to set Playoff rosters with no inactive list. As far his injury is concerned, bones tend to heal stronger, but soft tissue damage is always a bigger concern. It'll probably be a moot point as I figure he won't be returning until next season anyway, but if he is healthy and available, he could be an ace up their sleeve.

Possibly.

I heard CryoTherapy is great for the soft tissue, I've been looking into it myself for my body because its been really banged up. It's not FDA approved, but a lot of beneficial treatments out there are not FDA approved.

Celtics look amazing right now against the Lakers.... everything is clicking.

Great play by Theis and Baynes, and Semi.

Irving is just casually walking by Ball, to the point where they've put Clarkson on him. Same result.

Yeah nobody can stay in front of him.

Marcus Smart just destroyed Ball on that block.

I love Stevens, but I am not a fan of how little Tatum saw the floor in the first half. When on the floor, he hasnt been involved at all. Tatum probably cared a little about really showing up this game vs Lonzo Ball on national TV.

Maybe he will get more minutes and looks in the second half.

Second quarter the defense kind of fell apart, we were getting backdoored and not being as aggressive.

Looks like Tatum hurt his ankle, now it makes sense.

You guys have a nice, dynamic team assembled in Boston. A good mix of young guys who really play with an edge and fit right in with the Boston mentality and a great player in Irving (even though he's probably one of the weirdest players off the court). Tatum & Brown are super young, gifted wing players who will have awesome careers hopefully.

Also, fuck you green leprechaun midgets.

F**k everything having to do with Boston & the Celtics, but they are playing some beautiful basketball. Kyrie wanted to be the man, and so far, he's doing it.

Despite my lifelong hate for anything Boston (along with Indiana, Chicago & Miami), I love seeing basketball the way it should be played. Celtics are like a jazz ensemble.

I think Celtics' shit fluke eventually will run out of luck. All rotation players are overachieving at the moment. This just is not sustainable.

Expect a mere .500 ball club by the season end at the very best.

Wait... you think that at best the Celtics will go 29-39 the rest of the season, when they play mostly Eastern Conference teams??? You have to be kidding me...

The players are playing well in a good system, and they will continue to do so. How many games have you actually watched? I've missed one all season. We are excelling defensively and on the boards, that's hustle and Brad switching up schemes. Because of how often he switches things up and adjusts, a lot of this is sustainable. Brown and Tatum can guard positions 1 through 5, they are not just going to be suddenly incapable after the win streak ends.

I would say 50-55 wins is realistic for this season. .500 ball club? I really don't think you watch any basketball sometimes NovU.

And if you are attempting to say they will be playing like a .500 ball club, that is also straight crazy as well. The Celtics have a chance to make a deep run this season, and Stevens has a great chance at coach of the year.

Jebus, your obsession goes little too far kid, you force my hand and force me to foe list you now. You seem to take everything way too personal, lighten up kid. Nobody's trying to hurt you here.

Good bye, we may talk again in another life time. Till then, farewell son.

Holy shit, you are this dumb.

You commented on a basketball forum that the Celtics by season end will be a .500 ball club, someone contests that for obvious reasons, and you call the person obsessed? I would have commented with the same type of material if it was someone else who said that.

Watch more basketball and become more educated, with every comment you prove that you have no clue what you are talking about. It's getting old fast.

Son, this is the last time I will ever respond to your dumb rant. You are the proven moron here, I been getting messages left and right from other members not to feed a stupid troll that you are. I will just go ahead and do that now by foe listing you.

Your obsession with me at this moment is beyond understanding. You can't even write a single paragraph without "how many games have you watched" or "I know more than you" attitude. This moronic/asshole behaviour of yours got old real quick.

Nothing personal but I'd rather not deal with you anymore. Neither of us enjoys it, nor should any other forum member get stressed over our crossing path either. Hope you see this through but doubt it due to puny brain of yours. Gbye young grasshopper.

Troll? I have never trolled in here.

Obsessed? Again ignoring the fact that I would have responded with the same type of response to somebody else who said the same. Convenient to leave that out, huh?

I can only assume you don't watch much basketball with statements like the Celtics will be a mere .500 ball club by the end of the season. Asking if you watch teams play is perfectly relevant in a basketball forum. It's easy to assume that you don't watch much basketball.

Trolling? You have to be trolling with some of the nonsense you say. You are trolling or just looking for someone to contest you, that's the only logical explanation.

And if people want to pm you and tell you I am a troll, they should probably just say it on here or PM me. And, if they are calling ME the troll in this (with so much dumb shit that you say) I could care less what they say about me, because obviously their judgement is really bad, and they probably don't know much about basketball either.

He also has a hard on for making shit up, backpedaling, making more shit up, and not admitting when he is wrong after he's caught making shit up.

He also gets a hard on for playing favorites, being biased as to who he agrees with and who he doesnt.

He's a mess. Seriously a big mess. I didn't start the name calling until just recently, but he just kept going with his bullshit and the situation called for it. I mean, damn... it's really unbelievable.

Celtics doing what they should be doing with the Nets right now.

Off to a 14-4 start, Tatum looks great to start this game off.

Tatum again showing maturity beyond his years. Morris with a big second half.

Big test Thursday.
