Game Thread – Celtics @ Hawks – 7:30PM, Sat, Jan. 17, 2026

[Bill Lumbergh]

Queta will outplay Okongwu.

[Shak_Celts]

Really like Rico this season, good pick by Brad!

[Bill Lumbergh]

What does you guys and gals think about Scheierman AND Hauser Starting?

No surprise about Sam. I'm fine with Baylor, too. Probably trying him out for the secondary playmaking.

What does you guys and gals think about Scheierman AND Hauser Starting?

Not what I would do but working so far.
I’d have Hugo and Walsh or at least one in there.
BS playing well though.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Just once I'd like to see Baylor catch fire. He really did that one game last year.

Yeah I wouldn't have thought that it would work.
But, we do need the 2nd Ballhandler. Keep Simons "burning" off the Bench.

[Parliament10]

Sam Cassell changed that call.

I think Joe wants to have one of White or Simons out there all the time as a PG, so he staggers them.

[Shak_Celts]

Has everyone started so far except Simons and maybe X?

[Parliament10]

Simons, the only PG on the floor.
Hugo might be helping out.

[Bill Lumbergh]

I hope Walsh learns to put it on the floor this coming off season. It would really expand his game.

[Bill Lumbergh]

JB is going to wreck these kids today.

Also Boucher I'm pretty sure..

[Parliament10]

Boucher and Simons, are the only ones.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Celtics fans representing in there.

[darrendaye]

Hey, JB with 13 1st Q shots.

I'm just not a fan of Hauser Starting. I can see one of them, but wouldn't have guessed both.

Yeah, maybe it was preseason. Thanks.

I hear you. Joe trusts him though.

Boucher and Simons, are the only ones.

That’s some info. Thank you!
