Is it too late for Michelle Wu to enact covid protocols for visiting players for the next month


Will be interesting if the Nets come to town with Simmons in tow

Continuing from the last thread but there is a 99.9% chance that Brown is vaccinated. Canada put the vaccine mandate into effect on 30 October and the Celtics played in Toronto on 29 November and Brown played that game. The only way he could play without the vaccine is if he had been declared unable to be vaccinated.

Unless something has changed, I think Steve Nash pretty much already said Simmons probably won't play at all this season.

It changed, now he probably plays in the first round......shocker not.

 

[JRull86]

There was a report out today that Simmons might be healthy enough to play Game 3 of the 1st round.

 

[BostonBob]

What a turnaround for this team.

There was an athlete exemption until this year.

The Nets are going to be a load to handle with no Williams.Could even get upset here it should be that close .

According to the media the Nets have the two best players in the series

That makes us the underdogs. CAVE KYRIES SKULL IN (metaphorically of course)

I don't agree with caving his head in metaphorically.

Any team with KD and Kyrie on it should make you scared but the Nets don't feel like contenders, any of the top 3 seeds should beat them in 6. The playoffs are all about hunting mismatches and most of the Nets rotation would get cooked if Tatum or Brown switched onto them. Ben Simmons could change that but he hasn't played this season, not sure he's the type of player who can go straight into a playoff series after not playing all season and be close to the player he can be on defense.

Can we just retroactively arrest Kyrie for that burning sage thing? I feel like that's got to be a fire code violation.

 

[Mione134]

I'm not worried. Bring on that absolute moron and his friends.



Not counting out the Cavs. They always play hard against them.

Some Celtics got some well-earned recognition today.

- Jayson Tatum was named to the 1st All-NBA Team
- Marcus Smart was named to the 1st All-Defensive Team
- Robert Williams was named to the 2nd All-Defensive Team

They already announced that? Doesn't sound right.

Damn - you are correct. Those are the picks from CBS Sports and not the actual selections. I feel shame.....
