Everyone take a deep breath.
That Game 1 loss was a doozy. It felt like the Heat beat the Celtics at their own game and were the more imposing and physical team.
The Al Horford situation is brutal timing, yes. Robert Williams and Marcus Smart still aren’t 100 percent. The Derrick White news comes at an inopportune time (how dare he skip the game for happiest moment of his life?) but is more than understandable. The Celtics are shorthanded, but that won’t deter them in the slightest.
“Things happen in life,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said.
