Embid out with an orbital fracture.  Depending on how surgery goes, he could be back in 2-4 weeks

All process all the time. 

 

Dario will carry us through and shall not falter.

You could tell something was up with the way this injury had been dealt with. It made today a bit easier to swallow.

Yeah, I know...was still holding out hope that he might be ready by the second round of the playoffs.  I really have enjoyed watching them so much this year...just such a gut punch.  I really thought they were a shoe-in for the ECF, at minimum...now, anything past the first round will be a real achievment.  Sucks that the two guys who were supposed to be the cornerstones of this new era of Celtic basketball (Gordon and Irving) go down. Oh well, that is sports...no guarantees.  I suppose I should take solace in the fact that Stevens has been able to develope a hell of a bench.

It sucks because now I’m not even excited for the playoffs. But from a long view, I don’t think they were beating the Cavs in a 7 game series anyway. The young guys are getting a ton of experience with Kyrie and Hayward out, and if both are healthy next year watch out.

It will be fun to watch Rozier and Morris try and lead the rookies past a few teams. Hopefully Kyrie and Hayward are a full go next fall.

With Hayward and Kyrie? I think the C's would have been favored but I could see Lebron winning it. I'm not excited either but I will still watch. The kids play hard.

Yeah...I feel your pain.  I was fully expecting a long playoff run for the Celtics...now I will watch, just happy if they can pull out a series.  They may be able to beat Milwaukee...maybe.  Just such an abrupt end to what had been such a fun season.  If it comes down to it, I can root for LeBron...but it doesn't excite near as much as a Celtics run might have.

The East is a matter of who is able or willing to bother showing up for the playoffs.  Anything could happen this year. 

 

Most expected scenario is LeBron basically get to the Finals with a big effort on his own.
