Celtics’ Playoff Rollercoaster…
ORLANDO — Hold onto your basketball shorts, folks! The Celtics are entering Game 3 against those magical Magicians with their starry trio at risk of bench-warming. Jayson “Sky Jumper” Tatum is in doubt with a wrist that just won’t quit giving him trouble, leaving the squad without their airborne dynamo. And hop-along Jrue “The Hustler” Holiday just might be sittin’ out thanks to a hamstring that’s screaming at him louder than a referee in the playoffs!
As if the drama dial wasn’t already cranked to 11, Jaylen “The Acrobat” Brown’s knee decided to join the party. After spending too much time on the injury report’s red carpet, Brown’s knee is yelling louder than the fans in the nosebleed section. Coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed our worst suspicions on 98.5’s Zolak and Bertrand, dropping the bombshell that Tatum’s bone bruise is a stubborn beast. You’d think the Celtics were auditioning for a medical drama!
Fear not, Boston battalion! Al “The Sage” Horford is rallying the troops with a next-man-up battle cry. He’s got enough wisdom and court savvy to power a basketball oracle. Despite their injuries, the Celtics are on a celestial 2-0 series safari. If Horford’s words hold true, we’re about to see new heroes arise from the Celtics’ bench like knights from King Arthur’s round table, ready to dribble into legend! It’s showtime, and it starts at 7 PM ET — don’t be late!
