The Celtics have not played great so far, some would say. They trail the Spurs 26-9. – 8:53 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I think we’re having score issues again. I think Boston is actually down 19-5. I don’t think the Smart basket counted, but NBC Sports Boston is still showing it. – 8:52 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
The Spurs have led by double digits in 9 of their 18 games this season.
SA enters 4-4 when leading by double digits – 8:52 PM

Dejounte Murray runs over and gives Ime Udoka a hug before the timeout ends. #Celtics #Spurs8:49 PM

10-3 Spurs to open the game. Boston open 1-12 from the field. Spurs are 5-13 and getting those shots mostly at the rim. This is not an ideal start. – 8:49 PM
Mark Murphy @Murf56
Celtics off to a 1-12 start, everything rushed. – 8:47 PM

Popovich on Jayson Tatum during Team USA: “Jayson was spectacular, he along with (Durant) became our go-to guys. He was a joy. I’m indebted to Jayson and had a really had a good time with him there because he was a great teammate and played wonderfully for us.” #Celtics #Spurs7:37 PM

Boston Celtics @celtics
Ime Udoka says Josh Richardson (non-COVID illness) may meet us tomorrow in San Antonio to fly with us to Toronto. Rob Williams (non-COVID illness) is a couple of days behind Richardson in his recovery. – 7:09 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Per Ime Udoka, Josh Richardson stayed home in Boston today but will meet Celtics in SA to travel to Toronto with the hope of playing. Rob Williams remaining in isolation as of now because he got the flu a few days after Richardson. – 7:08 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Robert Williams and Josh Richardson are not on the trip, but the plan is for Richardson to meet up with the team tomorrow ahead of the next game in Toronto. Williams is further behind with his illness, according to Udoka. – 7:08 PM

Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie
lmao love Jabari Smith. Talk your shit, man. – 6:20 PM
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops
I don’t think freshman forward Jabari Smith will wind up going No. 1 in the NBA Draft over Paolo and/or Chet, but he is a STUD and is clear-cut No. 3 for me right now. Just does it all for Auburn. – 6:17 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA

Interesting to see how rotations will go today.
Amir Coffey is inactive today, and looks like Brandon Boston Jr. is with Keon Johnson in the G.
So backups today are: Justise Winslow, Luke Kennard, Terance Mann, Serge Ibaka, Isaiah Hartenstein – 3:41 PM
