That’s why he sucks

Figured it was a matter of time, the warning about him was his injury history/availability. He would frequently miss games during the RS for knick-knack injuries. Playing every-other day for a full playoff run an injury was bound to happen.
We’re fucked I guess? That’s why his shooting woes were bad
Where were you when Sam Hauser hit 4 threes in a Conference Finals game
But in reality it does blow that him and JBs elbows are fucked
Puts so much pressure on White/Smart/Al/Grant to be money on their spot ups
Well, that’s unfortunately the Malcolm Brogdon experience. Otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to acquire him for next to nothing.
Wait, didn’t Curt Schilling have a tendon injury with the Bloody Sock game? No worries guys this is just history repeating itself!
Yeah, figured. Probably a matter of time until they make JB’s thing public too.
Gotta be thankful JT is still mostly in one piece, think we’re in with a shot as long as he’s still got it
> The Celtics guard was initially dealing with golfer’s elbow soreness during the Philadelphia series, but an MRI after Game 1 against the Heat determined he exacerbated the injury by tearing the tendon in boxing out Miami Heat big Kevin Love midway through the first quarter.
Tough
>Brogdon suffered the injury in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, according to the sources, who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record. The Celtics guard was initially dealing with golfer’s elbow soreness during the Philadelphia series, but an MRI after Game 1 against the Heat determined he exacerbated the injury by tearing the tendon in boxing out Miami Heat big Kevin Love midway through the first quarter.
So play the Tatum, smart, white, grant, rob lineup lots of minutes with brogdon and brown with nagging injuries
If Jaylen and Malcolm are both hurt then theres really no shot unless Tatum goes god mode and Derrick becomes a 20/5/5 guy again like he did during that stretch in the regular season
He’s been a total negative the last 2 games and has scored 2 total points. He’s unplayable right now. It sucks but I’d probably sit him.
Malcolm “never swinging a rock” Brogdon coz as soon as he gets the ball he shoots it 💀
He was pretty efficient tho in Philly series
i remember last years series against the heat we would give al a game off to get ready for the next game. i wish we had that luxury now
Is it actually wise to have JB and Brogdon keep playing when the injuries are causing them to play so poorly?
Some of the responses here are tragic.
A partial tear would be awfully hard to play through, yet he’s out there doing his best. Played great all season. Let’s hope he can contribute to the team and for fck’s sake, let’s support the team.
Go green!
Why is this man made of glass?
Mad love to him for playing through this. Sounds painful. It explains why he hasn’t been playing like himself. Get better soon Malc🙏🏽
Brogdon was never going to be healthy for four playoff series. Pipe dream
Hey, maybe Hauser?
Then why did Joe start the 4Q with an injured Brogdon and possibly injured JB, with Al, Derrick, and Grant. 2 injured player who are supposed to be the focus of the offense playing together at a crucial stretch. I was literally shouting at the TV for JT to subbed in ASAP.
Maybe this is why we had those inexplicable PP minutes in game 1. Mazzulla wanted to see if we could potentially get away with sitting Brogdon for a few games.
No wonder he’s been ass this series
