Boston Celtics injuries: Kyrie Irving, Marcus Morris, Shane Larkin out against Atlanta Hawks
By Jay King
BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics announced Kyrie Irving (quad), Marcus Morris (backside) and Shane Larkin (knee) will all miss Friday night's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks.
With Marcus Smart also sidelined by a hand laceration, the Celtics will be down three point guards for the second straight game. Terry Rozier will almost certainly earn his second NBA start, and big man Al Horford could run some point guard like he did earlier this week.
Irving bruised his right quad Monday while beating the Denver Nuggets. Morris took a hard fall two days later during a win against the New York Knicks. Knee soreness will keep Larkin out for the third straight game.

Refs aren't taking any shit from anyone early on.
Brad complained about a late call on Baynes and was T'd up fast.
Now, minutes later, the Hawks coach let the ref hear it when nothing was called on a hit that Dedmon took to the head that dropped him and he too was T'd up just as fast ... players better watch it!

Brad is definitely using this game to try out various lineup configurations.

Kadeem Allen with a hand-off bumps Bazemore into the 2nd row of the sidelines ... LOL ... Scal says Allen must be big enough to play for the Patriots!

Lots of turnovers by the C's but lots more flopping by the Hawks ...

Gotta say we looked pretty lost when Rozier was on the bench (ouch). Halftime: 55-53 Hawks ahead.
