They like what that mean
Isn't this the 3rd time this season Hartenstein has had to exit a game due to calf issues?
In the West there's probably 3 players i'm paying attention to heading into the playoffs:
Hartenstein (3x calf issues)
JDubb (2x hamstring issues)
Aaron Gordon (2x hamstring issues)
Gordon supposed to return on Friday and I figure it'll be a minutes restriction, but if he can't survive these last 20 games w/ fukkin it up a 3rd time then DEN gon be more cooked than they already are.

probably add Peyton Watson in there too
With the "East is weak" narrative, I'd say wide open (pause) and weak are two different things.
If Wolves, Rockets, Lakers were to switch conferences today, they wouldn't be favorites over Cleveland, New York, or Boston. Maybe the Wolves would get the edge over Detroit due to the experience gap but the same would apply for the Knicks over the Spurs.
The West really just has one team that's been above the rest all season + has the benefit of playoff experience. That and the West has more nostalgic names (KD, Bron, Luka, etc.,) that have ppl grading their teams with rose-tinted glasses.

Yea, i forgot Watson is out with a hamstring as well.
That's gonna be spooky for them too if he ain't back and 100% in the next month.
I don't think they'll drop to the play-ins but the way they're playing it's no guarantee they'll be a top 3 seed (probably too late for the #2), which means they'll be facing one of Minnesota, Houston, or the Lakers in round 1 and likely without home court.

When Dort sees him next week
they're supposed to be back in the next 10 days but with all of the issues AG has had with both hammys dating back to last year I can't trust dude to make it through a full playoff grind

Celtics Fans tried to come on here with that corny ass "we don't care whose team it is. We just care about winning."
Tatum cares. That's why he tried his hardest to steal Jaylen Brown's FMVP. That's why he said he ain't coming back to "be no role player".
I know a hater when I see one, and Tatum couldn't stand seeing JB getting all the shine.

That Asaur injury looked bad. Hopefully it's just a rolled ankle.

Ausar injury didn’t look good at all

I think there’s a lot of people who are disingenuous about the topic. What Brown has been able to do this year matters because a lot of people were dismissive of him and felt him leading a winning team was inconceivable. People didn’t believe in him so of course he wanted the opportunity to prove himself
