They just signed old friend Javonte Green to take us down.

Coby White and Alex Caruso are listed as PROBABLE. Dosunmu has been ballin' past week.

Did Derozan catch any discipline from the incident with Brooks the other night? Not that it matters really

So I guess Tatum and Horford are playing while KP, JB, and Jrue sit? No official word yet though.

Get it done.
A W tonight gives us HCA in the ECF or puts us with Magic Number of 1.

Here we go again. 2 weeks ago I was in jeopardy of missing my 1st Celtic game in years but Mother nature stepped in and canceled my Flight to NY. Leaving again tonight and sure enough another Saturday night game.

But... It's storming like crazy right now.. so...

what is worse, missing another flight or missing the Pritchard vs Caruso heavy weight fight! :banghead:

This would be a lovely afternoon game. Can we please tip it off around 4pm?

This week we had 5 games in 7 days including 2 b2b's in the same week. Then Monday we play in Atlanta. Then the next one is also in Atlanta but not until Thursday. So I guess the C's are living in Atlanta next week?

I don't really know what my point is aside from the schedule is just kinda weird.

Even weirder, between those two games against the Celtics, the Hawks play the Blazers. It's a B2B opponent for us but not for them. They have a 3G-in-4N.

Yup that's weird alright. I guess the C's can go enjoy Hawks-Blazers as fans. If they aren't spending the week eating the famous Lou Williams lemon pepper chicken wings in the ATL.

I'm sure Jaylen has something prepared for the team since they're in his home turf. Horford may have some team building ideas too.

JB, KP, Jrue all out. Tatum is questionable but I bet he plays.

Demar has scored the 2nd most career points vs Boston of any active player (after Grandpa Lebron).

Only 19 guys have played every game this season. Pritchard is one of them.
Our 3 ballhandlers -- Jrue, White, PP -- all have 3:1 A/TO ratio or better, post-ASB. White has 97 assists vs. 19 turnovers.

I don't think it's gonna be a blowout though esp if they let DeRozan off the hook and don't suspend him for that bush league hit against Jalen Green and elbow to Brooks.

They probably fly back to Boston after the game. Who wants to spend 4 whole days in Atlanta
