Jaylen Brown has missed the past four games and Boston has gone 3-1 and needed overtime to beat the Nets. He tweaked his hip in the Celtics' win over the Hornets last Friday when he scored - just about his average for the season. Generally speaking, the Celtic's depth can cover Brown's loss, but they miss his defense and his ability to attack the rim. He's been out for a week now, and I expect him to play against the Cavs on Nov. 19 if not sooner.

Do you think Brown raises this team's intensity?
