UPDATE: Smart undergoes surgery, out indefinitely

[PhoSita]

Time to unleash Scary Terry. I really think there's monumental potential in him. You can't teach his fearlessness.

A shortened rotation, for sure.

Kyrie, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Baynes

Rozier, Morris, Monroe


That's basically it.  Maybe spot minutes from Larkin and Semi, but those guys can't be a significant part of the rotation come playoffs.

Ugh....C'mon!

Definitely sucks, and we値l sorely miss him.

Not sure he値l be out the rest of the season, though. Unlike Theis, who almost assuredly is done for the season, it sounds like Smart could just miss extended time, but not necessarily the rest of the season and playoffs.

My concern would be less that he'll miss the rest of the season and more than when he is back, he won't be able to use his right hand to steal / pass / dribble as well, and his already bad shooting will completely nosedive (read: opponents won't defend him at all).

 Can we add any more players or is our roster full?

When it rains, it pours.  Yeesh.

Today is the day that just keeps on giving. Heh.

[CelticsElite]

Call up jabari Bird and see what he's got

This team will be lucky to get out of round 1. And I am waiting for the other shoe to drop on Kyrie's knee

I thought we saw that already and it wasn't much...

Aaaaand.....we're about to get pummeled with 2 feet of snow. Just AWESOME.

I love the Celtics....but they are in trouble. No depth. Several guys hurt. Several other on the fence

Hayward, Smart and Theis are all done for the season...Kyrie is on his last leg literally...

[csfansince60s]

Injuries have a cumulative effect on the players left standing. Players feel that they have to make up for the performance of the lost starters and they press, both mentally and physically.

Hopefully the brass has Yabs and Nader and Kadeem Allen and Bird (if and when healthy) come up to the parent club and help chew up some minutes, so the guys left standing don't get hurt and/or wear down and so they don't get cooked later.

Theis (season)and Smart (who knows how long) gone.

Better be careful with Horford, jaylen and Kyrie.

I'd start Baynes, Morris, Tatum, Rozier and Larkin.

2nd unit: Moose, Yabs, Nader, Semi, Allen

Gotta go with what ya got. But, Don't burn Kyrie, Horford, Jaylen....sit them for as long need be.

Washington game is going to be a bloodbath. Boston will get trucked because they have no scoring at all left

There's confidence that Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving's left knee soreness is no more than tendonitis and that he will not need to miss significant time, league sources tell ESPN. Irving is considered day-to-day.
