Win & we clinch HCA in the ECF.
Get it done!

PS If the Thunder beat the Bucks tonight, we clinch TONIGHT!
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

No Trae, Jalen Johnson, Okungwu, Griffin, Gueye, Bufkin, and Bey.

Let Holiday's shoulder fully heal before bringing him back. Who else are we resting in this game? There's a two-game lull after this.

Last week was the first time the Celtics have won 5 games in a calendar week since 2005.

In our current 9 game winning steak we've used 8 different starting lineups.

Hard to rest White. No backup PG if PP starts.
Give Tillman the day off. Let Queta play.

Should rest him regardless if he needs it. Is JD available to be called up? JT can handle more duties and no doubt JB will too. Or just let PP play 48 :)

It’s dodging Jalen Johnson for me. But how has this Gueye looked? I liked his draft highlight video for the approximately 7 minutes we had him.

I'm alone in this, but I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. While most would like to rest the main guys in the remaining games, I need Jrue as healthy as possible SOOOOOON. Need more reps for the top 6 guys esp on defense. They can still rest here and there. But I need at least 4 games where they play their playoff rotation (@NOP, v. OKC, v. SAC, v. NYK). Hope they keep the top 6 at home for that Bucks road game though. More than 2 weeks in your own bed before playoffs start sounds nice.

Entering this game, rumor has it we've clinched the East already. With 11 games to play.

Peep that letter "e" beside the Boston Celtics. Has something to do with tiebreaker #5. Bucks have apparently lost so many games against playoff teams already that there's no way they can catch up even if they win out and Cs lose out.

Stay healthy and get a W. IDC how pretty it is at this point. Nothing more they can prove in the regular season so just don't get injured and keep the momentum going if you can.

Also poor Bisme probably wasn't expecting 57 wins with still 11 to play so we should all look ahead in the schedule and help the guy out on post game thread titles lol. He's been A+ this season, but admittedly mailed it in on the catchy titles at least once lately :lol:

I know lol now I have to think of 2 things in a row to say about the Hawks. And soon the real work starts when I have to think of 4-7 things to say about each playoff opponent. If the C's care about their fans as much as they claim they will sweep through the playoffs and give me a break haha.
