Dang you guys lol. We've lost a few games to bad teams but we've won most of our games against bad teams. We will win this thing! Chin up, go C's!

Yeah, I'm pretty much a pesimist at heart - guilty as charged!!!

JT's career high 60 was against San Antonio.

The good times will continue to roll with a victory.
The Spurs will not jingle jangle jangle.
Somewhere Gene Autry sheds a tear.

Meanwhile some good Celts talk on the Sportshub with B. Robb and Gasper:
Brogdon needs to play more and be put in a position to flourish as the 3rd offensive option
going into the playoffs.
They need to manage Tatum's minutes better.
They will not be adding Kemba.
The bench other than the Dallas game had been terrible as of late.

Celtics should obliterate these guys in theory

It doesn't matter how many starters the Spurs are down that Jersey strikes fear in the Celtics right down to their core.

My prediction is San Antonio by 25

[zoyathedestroya]

Poeltl, Keldon Johnson, and Vassell are all OUT for the Spurs. Just don’t tell our players or they might take a deep breath and relax. Tell them prime Duncan, Ginobili, and Tony Parker are suiting up.

We just gotta tell the team that they're playing the Bucks and maybe they'll actually steamroll the Spurs like they should lol

I don't want to overstate just how much Poeltl being out is huge for us.

Again we made Zubac look like prime Shaq. Horford can't handle a real Center's physicality and Kornet doesn't have the skill to do so apparently.

Maybe Rob does but if he's sitting there defending the post against a ho hum Center you reduce his impact from an all world free safety on defense to a Kendrick Perkins on defense and he can't make up for all the blowbys we give.


All that said my heart isn't ready to believe in this team yet.

They showed us the first full game of effort on defense and offense. It would be just like them to lose this game by 20 and not try.

Instead I perfectly stated it with no over or unders. :p

But yeah I can't raise my bar of expectations for us yet, my heart can't take it.

Have to keep the bar low. I'm not sure I could handle the disappointment if I let myself believe in them and then they went out and pulled an ORL or the other ORL or an OKC again tonight lol.

[bisme37]

Enjoy the big game, everyone!

Go C's let's get this win!!

[Celts17Pride]

Poeltl, Keldon Johnson, and Vassell are all OUT for the Spurs.

Brad Stevens making another trade with the Spurs?

[Shak_Celts]
