Celts injury report: starter taken out of Heat game The Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics will play in Thursday night’s highly anticipated game, and each team will be in better shape. After beating the Mavericks on Monday in Dalla, the team said on Wednesday afternoon that Krzysztof PorzĂŔ (right knee injury) and Ohaye Beckett (back pain) were both taken out of the game.Joe Mazzulla said that on Wednesday afternoon, the whole quartet could use a day off in M. to practise. Bolton beat Tottenham by a single point on Sunday night, and Porzingis had a career game, scoring 32 points and grabbing five rebounds. The club was careful not to let the star centre play back-to-back games, though, so he only played three times. The club has gone a perfect 10–2 in his absence, with five straight wins.Celts HC The Boston Celtics’ early success in the 2023–24 NBA season has made other teams decide to try to compete with them. Joe Mazzulla gave Buck a humble response.With a 34-10 record, the Cougars have the best record in the league and are in first place in the Eastern Conference. Also making big trades before the February 8th deadline are the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks. They are not far behind.Former Celtics player Terry Rozier was traded to the Heat on Tuesday, and former Celtics captain Doc Rivers was fired by the Bucks on Wednesday after being fired by Adrene Granin.A reporter asked Joe Mazzulla, the current head coach of the Celtics, about the big move that one of their Eastern Conference opponents made. Gary Whitburn of The Boston Globe says he knew right away if the changes were made to stay up with the C’s.As far as I can tell, they’re not trying to beat you. We still haven’t won, both now and then. Mazzulla said, “I don’t see why anyone would want to compete with us.” We were champions last in 2008. You can’t say that we’re the norm. No matter how much other people say they’re after you, we’re after them. We don’t even think about it that way. We need to keep an open mind, knowing that even though we’re a great team, there are other great teams out there as well. We should pay attention to how we do against the other team and how we can get better.Even though the Celtics are the team to beat right now, Mazzulla’s bomber highlighted one thing that Boston still lacks: an NBA championship banner. The C’s have been very close to winning all season; Mazzulla was on the Green Team’s march to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. However, they haven’t been successful in over a decade.The Heat hadn’t won a championship in over ten years, even though they made it to the NBA Finals in 2023 and beat the Celtics in the previous round. The Bucks finally won a championship in 2021, ending a 40-year drought. Since then, no team has been able to get to the promised land.All of the players agree on one thing, though: they all want another championship. The Milwaukee Bucks made a big move in the off-season when they traded for even-time All-Star Damon Lillard. The Miami Heat finally fixed their roster problems with the Terry Rozier trade, and the Boston Celtics might have had the most exciting summer in NBA history. To get Klay Thompson and Jrue Holiday, the Brighton Celtics’ front office traded for a number of players, such as heavyweight Robert Williams, veteran guard Marcus Smart, and Malcolm Brogdon, who was named the league’s fifth most valuable player.
