Don't forget to support our Maine Celtics

No Huerter, no Monk. We're at home with rest and we catch another team on 2nd night of a B2B. We should win this, even if we rest a couple of key guys. Keep that momentum of winning/playing right heading into the playoffs (though I have no empirical evidence to support such momentum exists).

Don't worry about rest too much unless injured. They'll have plenty of it from April 15 to 19/20.

Let JB rest that left hand.

JB should definitely not be playing for the next few games.

This should be Queta's revenge game... (former King)

This might as well be a playoff game for the Kings, trying to cling on to the 8th seed, while making a statement against the league's best team.

Maybe it would be good practice for us to treat it as a must win game.

You know I wouldn’t even be mad if we lose just to **** with the lakers, warriors, and a bunch of western conference teams.

teams from the 5th seed through 8 are only 1 game apart. It is playoff level for them.

Good to see Holiday isn't even listed last couple of games. Looks like the shoulder thing was precautionary.

Knicks giving everything they have against the Kings. It's a close game. Kings gonna be fatigued after this. Might just forfeit our game. Which would be a shame.

If some of the starters play then Joe is again focusing on half court offense.

Any chance the Celtics rest their guys with the 1 seed locked up

Greatest shooting team of all-time!

3 of the top 7 shooting teams employed KD.

This is going to be a fun period of watching our guys without caring much about results, I expect to see a lot of interesting lineups and fun play. (along with some frustrating moments)

Hauser is going to break the single game 3pt record or something

zoyathedestroya · Post #17 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Fri Apr 5, 2024 11:22 am

If he plays and scores 17 points, Jaylen Brown would become the first 2016 draftee and 15th player in Celtics history to reach 10,000 career points.

zoyathedestroya · Post #18 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Fri Apr 5, 2024 11:35 am

I want 65 wins and top 3 net rating/SRS all-time. Make it happen, Cs.

Let JB get 17 in the first then sit him. You're cooking early tonight Mr. Brown
