Mike Muscala – Proper Knee Tendinopathy – QUESTIONABLE— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) February 28, 2023
Brown was sorely missed as Boston had a tough time getting its taking pictures act collectively towards a gritty New York crew. With Jayson Tatum at present in a post-All-Star break funk, Jaylen Brown’s scoring punch would have been a welcome sight along with his power. He’s come out of the break in a masked vengeance, tearing up opposing defenses along with his aggressive power. This can be a giant assist tomorrow towards Cleveland’s huge and lengthy lineup of unicorns like Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.
The Celtics are 0-2 towards the Cavs this 12 months, with each losses coming in additional time within the first month of the season. Rather a lot has modified since then, specifically the Celtics separating themselves as the most effective crew within the convention for a lot of the 12 months. Now getting into tomorrow night time’s sport as the present second seed within the East, it might be an excellent alternative for everybody to be reminded of how good they’re.
Having Robert Williams this time round also needs to make a giant distinction on how the Celtics method the inside.
