The Celts: And next season could be over too

The Celts’ season is probably done after last night’s loss to the Knicks. But next year’s season could be done too if the injury to Jayson Tatum is as severe as feared, i.e. an Achilles’ tear … The Globe’s Gary Washburn has more on the potential long-term repercussions of Jayson’s injury. …  This could scramble the front office’s post-season roster/payroll moves. Maybe Porzingis isn’t a no-return? Who knows.

Update — From a reader: “Well this is what happens when you can’t watch the game but only the boxscore on espn… hoping for Tatum recovery.  As Celtic post seasons go this is the most deeply frustrating in 42 years… “

Update II – Even before Jayson’s fall last night, the Knicks were on a roll and the Celts weren’t. Here’s what the same reader above wrote just prior to Jason’s injury: “I don’t think the Celtics have a chance in hell keeping on doing what they are doing: 7 points from Porzingis … 5 points from Al … 4 points from Holiday. Never mind 42 points from Tatum – part of the problem.   Also offensive rebounds (by Knicks), apparent Paul Silas isn’t walking through that door…  Sad!”
