This Delano Banton kid is good. We should look at picking him up next season…unless the Blazers pay him.

Gunning for the franchise's 36th 50-win season. (But it's really 40th equivalent-to-50-win season since some seasons had less than 82 games.) Essentially every other year for the Celtics.

Hopefully the Celts don't mail this one in to the extent that I'd probably be inclined to haha, but it'll be nice to face a team that isn't really playing for much at this point in the season.

Our last several games have been tough not only because they've been good opponents but because they've all been fighting for their playoff position as far as getting homecourt or staying out of the Play-In. C's are the one good team in the league that's already essentially locked into their seed.

West coast games should be illegal

Toumani Camara is a rookie player, 2nd rd pick who I have known since 14 years old. Left his family overseas from Belgium to move in with a "family" near me. What a sacrifice his parents made for Toumani's dream to be an NBA player. What a journey as well.

He played for Chaminade HS where at 6'7 was forced to play center. Going into his senior season he didn't even have a lick of interest from D1 schools. But one AAU team saw his potential, put him at the 3 position and in one month, managed to get a full ride to the University of Georgia with Anthony Edwards. Eventually transferred to a smaller school to get a bigger role. Not invited to the Chicago Combine didn't stop him from getting drafted by Phoenix then traded to Portland. Not looking up stats but he has often started and played quite well.

Really a well spoken young man who sacrificed a ton to get his opportunity. Really happy for him and hope he plays great tonight.

In a loss of course.

I'm not expecting another 50-point win. I'm demanding another 50-point win. Short of that and we're frauds.

When I've watched the Blazers this year I've been really impressed with their player Duop Reath. I'm pretty sure I had something else to say about this but I already forgot.

It might be an emotional game for Jrue. I wonder at what point during the game they'll play his tribute video.

Entire Cs starting 5 on the injury list for this game.

KP out.

The other 4 are questionable.

Banto. At 14 a game since trade, and had a 30-point game.

Lol. Stats on a bad team (armen Gilliam special) is real.

Are you serious?

Damn. It's real.

If Kornet (25), Pritchard (30), Hauser (26), Tillman (20), Horford (34), Svi (26), and Brissett (27) all hit their career highs, the Celtics will score their all-time high in points (178). We'll be fine.

They're featuring KP more I think in the 4th, which I'm fine with. But yeah, let White handle in the 4th esp when offense bogs down.

zoyathedestroya · Post #19 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Mon Mar 11, 2024 10:11 am

Brogdon, Timelord, Sharpe, and Jabari Walker are OUT; Jerami Grant is QUESTIONABLE for the Blazers. Cs capable of winning this even without their starting five. My guess: One of Tatum/Brown is playing and Derrick White is playing. Then Horford rests for the Utah game.
