@RocksGood37: "Id rather him take the day even though it really sucks cause I'm not a local fan and can only watch the Celtics (beyond highlights) when they're on national TV like ESPN ad TNT so the fact he's probably missing the game tomorrow is sad but he needs to take a few games"

@JMoney617_: "Rest up JT the guys got this one. We need you 100% for the playoffs"

Dan Greenberg: "Good job Brad

Also good this wasn’t an immediate OUT"

@giomadeit: "Rest up king.
