  1. uhh that’s not great? Hopefully his knee can recover. After 5 days rest and he’s missing a game paints a pretty clear picture that this isn’t just gamesmanship. Knee tendinopathy can linger for years so hopefully they have it under control.

  2. I’m not worried but pistons are also better this year but KP and Brown should be enough

  3. Thought he looked tired in the first quarter on Saturday so getting him some extra rest before another tough stretch is a good idea.

  4. Attending 2 games this season. 12/4 vs the Pistons and tonight. With that said..

    …rest up JT! We’re down for some cookies and cream.

  5. It’s interesting. This is a game where you’d think KP would lead the second unit when Brown goes to the bench, but that’s not how Joe is playing it.

    It’ll be particularly interesting with no Hauser. Second unit is basically just Pritchard.

    Starting lineup will be

    White – Holiday – Brown – Horford – Porzingis

    It’ll be interesting to see which bigs get play with the double big lineup in action again. I hope we can limit the Kornet Queta minutes.

  6. People are down playing this, but patellar tendinitis can be both brutally painful and an extremely slow recovery. If he’s not back after this big rest that suggests to me that it’s not a small issue and he might well be out another week to get it under control (assuming they caught it early). Fortunately, we don’t have a busy schedule right now, and he could sit like 2 weeks and only miss a few games.

  7. I do wonder if Tatum has a history of resting for more home games than away games, given his stance that he doesn’t want to disappoint fans in other cities who only get the chance to see him once or twice a season

  8. Why are some people upset we’re giving him extra rest?

    He’s obviously working out and practicing in between these games he’s not going to get the same time off jrue al and KP are getting during all star break

    I know there isn’t a lot of Celtic shit going on rn but

    BREATHE
