You won't be missing much. We'll probably have a bunch of stupid 3 year-olds trolling our board too.

Watching this and then seeing Mavis Staples/Bob Dylan after.

Kyrie should get a green mask with lights that only light up when he's on defense. He should then just keep chanting "I'm the leprechaun" in the face of whoever he is guarding.

Stop wishing for Kyrie. We won't need him anyway. Check out NBC Boston's promo...

We should rest all our important players and just lose this game, a lot of injuries and some players look a bit tired.
The long term is much more important than a random RS game. Celtics already forced players to play in the RS like crowder and IT, and it ended badly,
I hope stevens and co learned from the past ,no need to force players in the RS.

Also, didn't you say you were retiring at 20,000 posts?

Well Hordford has had a few days rest, Jayson and Jaylen are still young they can handle it. But I say we sit Smart, we can call it rest but we all know the real reason.

Interesting game today. Normally the team with the 11 game winning streak would feel greater pressure to keep things up.

But with all the injuries, Toronto has more pressure on them to win. It would be a bad sign if they lose to our B lineup.

I’m really interested to see how our new taller lineups matches up against them defensively. Derozan has been a problem in the past. Too bad Kyrie is out. I hope Shane Larkin has a nice game.

Kind of preparing myself for a loss today, not because the raptors are any good, but mostly because of how depleted and horrid we have been playing despite wins.

Higgs Boston · Post #133 » by **Higgs Boston** » Sun Nov 12, 2017 5:51 pm

The good thing is that we have morris against Raptors, he is usually great defending Derozan, that always destroyed us because our height and lack of versatility on defense.

If smart can go 4 for 7 from the field, sure

Just feels like we can't lose right now under any circumstances ..would feel really great to slap raps around at 1/2 strength 8-)

SMTBSI · Post #137 » by **SMTBSI** » Sun Nov 12, 2017 6:41 pm

Don't agree with resting guys for this game. We're young, and, if rumblings are correct, then Horford basically just got a couple of rest days anyway.

And, it's not like Toronto isn't going to be a good team. We'd only be two games up on them if we lose. I'm confident we take the division as long as we don't lose any more of our heavy hitters for the season, but, there's no sense in giving away standing here.

Seems like the perfect game for Smart to have another version of his ecf game.
