We got 5 3pt shooters out there, and none of them are named Porzingis, Holiday, White or Brown!

And now we are up with 2 All-Stars missing, on the road, playing a G-League player…. Guys, relax.

Cavs fans should be pissed to be down to this lineup

Fans waiting for a Cavs blowout can wait some more. Cs not laying down.

Not to mention we're playing the team with the best record.

- Finally Horford and Hauser wake up.
- Peterson says I offer more offensive ability than Walsh and Springer.
- Celtics doing this without Holiday who is either in decline or a funk.
- Still time to unleash Rico Dorchester....

Why mate? It’s one game… and honestly, this game doesn’t matter to us…

We are missing two of our top 4, and our other top 4 guy is working himself back into shape… if we actually keep this close (or win it) it just shows how much more dominate we are in the East


It’s a very winnable game imo. Just think it’s worth Tatum playing 2 minutes extra for a much better chance at a W. Not saying like 45 minutes tonight but like a few over the usual because of the fact that we are missing 2 starters on the road against a good team.

He should at least be going down to the G League, to get some reps.

If Springer plays in this game it means the Celtics are down 35 points or up 35 points

True.


I wouldn’t be surprised if Springer refuses to go to Maine. “Trade me, I’m not going to Maine”.

That's not a flagrant. Stand up, Darius. He was going for the ball.

I read an article that said that he may Want to be Traded, more than the Celtics want to Trade him.
