me seeing the 65% free throw percentage we're shooting made me realize that a team hasn't shot as bad as us in almost 50 years - only three of wilt's teams have shot worse.

I guess the lesson is: If you're an historically terrible free throw shooting team, it's probably for a good and sound reason.

With exception of Thomas, they seem very ordinary to me. But seem to give us fits.

The Celtics (who I've always hated) are actually playing well under Stevens. I think he gets the most out of their talent. They made the playoffs last year and they are a good measuring stick for us. If we want to be a playoff team, these are the types of teams we need to beat. Big game for us with playoff implications - both for overall record and tie-breakers. We've taken 2 of 3 already, so one more win clinches the tie-breaker.

This team has been a step slow for a minute now, even KCP looks a little worn down. A win would be nice probably a comeback if it happens but probably a lost. Need to make it to the all star break with some wins though.

They've been winning all season for a reason. Their coach is going to be the next Popovich. He's doing all of that with a bunch of average players. Imagine if you give him a star. Boston have like the next 3 first round picks from the Nets. Boston will be one of the best teams in a few years. They're going to be very annoying. But that's what Ainge does, he's really good. I expect SVG to be just as good. He knows what he's doing has a lot of support with scouting. I just wonder how long he's going to stay here.

They're on a back to back but their team has consistent effort from all the players. It's what happens with that coach. Sullinger barely played last night. I expect him to get above 30 mins tonight. Thomas had a lot of mins but I think he'll come out firing. I'm sure our team will bring it tonight. You'll see a better effort unless the offense is scattering. Drummond will have a big game since Boston doesn't have great rebounders. It'll be fun to watch.

Biglip bringing the fire

One thing that worries me about this game is all signs point that we should win it. @home and fresh legs.

RJ's horrible decisions have lead to KCP taking contested jump shots as the clock ran down

Was hoping to sign Amir... surprisingly underrated on this board.
