watched the Celtics lose in OT at the Raptors last night. The Celtics were without Tatum, Brown, Horford, and Time Lord Williams. Time Lord is out with a meniscus tear so he's likely to miss several weeks but the others were just minor ailments and personal reasons. They almost pulled it off even without those starters, but I think they slip back a bit to anywhere in the top 4 of the east. Fun to watch a team that's unafraid to switch a point guard onto a big, which you can do with Smart. They'll miss R. Williams, though. He can cover for a lot of mistakes.
When you land at Logan Airport, there should be a poster of Smart and Marchand that says, "beware of your surroundings. There are thieves and muggers willing to assault you when you aren't looking."
