Celtics vs. Bulls Pregame Notes

Games — By Kim S. on February 12, 2012 at 4:23 pm

The Celtics match-up against the Bulls is a pivotal game. Celtics enter game with 2 straight losses. Fridays night loss vs. the Raptors was described as an “un-celtic” game by Doc. The Bulls will play without Rose (back) today, which provides a greater opportunity to sneak a win against one of the top teams in the East.

Injury notes for the Celtics:

J.O. will miss his 2nd straight game with a knee/shoulder injury. O’Neal’s shoulder injury came on a dunk vs. the Lakers on Thursday proving he can’t do nice things without getting hurt
Avery Bradley is “full-strength” after dealing with shoulder pain the past two games
Brandon Bass is out with a sore knee, and could miss up to 10 games.

With Bass and J.O. out, Wilcox gets the start. This will test our already thin depth of big men. I assume J. Johnson will get important minutes.

I’ll do another post after the game, you can follow along with my in-game tweets @KimSherayko
