Celtics on CLNS

The Celtics will need to look elsewhere for guard depth for the foreseeable future, as Brad Stevens stated that backup point guard Shane Larkin will not play in Game 5 tonight, and his return for the playoffs is unlikely, after suffering a shoulder injury in Game 4. After NBA coaches selected Raptors HC Dwane Casey for Coach of the Year, questions arise as to why Stevens was not among the seven other head coaches to receive a vote.

In Game 4 of the series, the Philadelphia 76ers played better and made it easier for Joel Embiid to talk trash. Two Boston Celtics were not having it, as Terry Rozier wound up with a technical foul and Marcus Morris kept it real with Embiid, letting him know the Celtics still at the time had a 3-0 lead with a hand gesture.

Providing the 76ers don't push this series to Game 7, the schedule for the Eastern Conference Finals has been revealed.
