Anticipation for the Golden State Warriors Game
The Celtics are gearing up to face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Initially, this matchup was highly anticipated, and I think fans are still pumped for it, but my excitement has waned a bit. The Grant Williams incident shows the Celtics are more focused on playing a specific brand of basketball, not making things about any one player or revenge. The Warriors are off to a strong start, boasting one of the best defenses in the league. Th Celtics will be Jaylen Brown, so the Celtics’ depth will be tested against a formidable opponent. While the revenge narrative from past encounters might not be as strong, the game itself promises to be a thrilling contest.
Celtics Injury Updates and Upcoming Challenges
Brown is set to miss his third consecutive game due to a hip flexor strain. While some fans are worried, both Joe Mazzulla and Brown himself have downplayed the severity, describing it as a day-to-day issue. The concern is understandable, given the potential for such injuries to linger, but the team seems to be taking a cautious approach. With the Celtics’ depth, there’s no rush to bring Brown back before he’s fully ready.
Kristaps Porzingis Recovery Progress
Mazzulla has been optimistic about Kristaps Porzingis’ recovery, noting that Porzingis is doing really well with his rehabe. He’s already warming up and looking good. The expectation is for a December return, which is encouraging. The nature of his injury suggests that once healed, it won’t be a recurring issue. This is great news for the Celtics, who are already performing well without him.
