This needs to be a win. Home opener, struggling Celtics, coming off a big win.

We seemed to struggle with afternoon games. It would be great to win this one. Brown might sit this one out to injury.

If we're serious about being a playoff team then games like these have to be an automatic win. Hoping we're not dealing with constant foul trouble again.

I absolutely agree, but losing Ivey, and inserting Duncan is going to take some time to come together.

Look for Cade is have a monster game today.

yeah this would be a pretty disappointing loss. celtics play small a lot because they have no bigs and shoot a lot of 3s as they always do but so far they're shooting 29% from there.

i know it's the first half of a back to back for us but i hope the guys can play with 100% effort off the bat and that means they get to rest the starters late in the game.

It’s super early to be saying this, but it’s looking like the money spent on Caris was a bad idea. Holland looks to have leveled up and we have a lot of decent wings, leaving Caris as mostly an initiator. It’s a skill he has, but he’s not great at it, and that 15 mil or whatever could have been used on a real PG, like… well, the guy we had.

Dang it.

The good thing is though, that its just a 2 year deal... so 12 months from now he's the guy we're considering using his contract to make a trade for a solid starter or good rotation player. Would feel a lot worse if it was a 3 year deal.

Yikes. Brutal start.

Is it possible to lose a game in the first 4 minutes of action? If it is we’re flirting with it.

This whole “let’s not show up in the first quarter and try to win anyway” crap is ridiculous. That’s on JBB.

They’re playing like they’re hung over or something.

Hopefully nine is manageable, but let’s be real.

Our starters have mostly sucked all season. What the hell.

We have seen multiple guys diving for loose balls. Gotta respect the effort. Just sloppy as **** and we look unprepared defensively.
