Celtics Injury Report vs. POR (3/11/24):

J. Brown - Sacroiliac Strain - QUESTIONABLE J. Holiday - Left Knee Tendinopathy - QUESTIONABLE K. Porzingis - Right Hamstring Tightness - OUT J. Tatum - Right Ankle Impingement - QUESTIONABLE D. White - Left Hand Sprain - QUESTIONABLE

tldr; • Reversal of the foul called on Buddy Hield vs. Jaylen Brown was correct • Officials missed a screen foul on Myles Turner with 2 seconds to play • Foul call on Kristaps Porzingis vs. Bennedict Mathurin was incorrect

With the Timberwolves’ loss at Dallas, the Celtics now have the NBA’s best record by 3 full games.

The gap between Boston and Minnesota, is bigger than the gap between the #2 Timberwolves and the #7 Clippers.

As we creep towards season, I'm realizing it's been an awfully quiet end of summer. There were the big marquee trades although everything seems to have settled out reasonably. I'm inclined to think of it as a good thing while folks continue to heal, strengthen and prepare for the upcoming season but wanted to toss this out to the folks here and see how y'all feel.
