Im looking forward to enjoying this one. Kat might wreck us but we should be able to feast on them offensively. Im expecting a big Kyrie game tbh.

Interesting games tonight. Would be a nice start to 2018 to get this one and have the Lakers lose to Charlotte.

Feel like I'm not too big of a homer to do it lol. Celts have done pretty well for me.

Pierce reiterating he wasn't joking and definitely doesn't want an IT tribute video.

I think Horford can keep KAT in check. Put Baynes on Taj.

I'm a fan of both KAT and Butler so I'm looking forward to this game. Wiggins is way overpaid and doesn't impact the game as much as some people think. I initially thought Brown's ceiling would be Wiggins but I'm hoping he aims higher.

Put pressure on their defense. Keep moving the ball and attacking the basket.

If someone tried to do this on VC or hell even Billups night, I'm sure the GB would agree lol.

Oh geez why is this video tribute such a big deal. It's literally a 60 second video. IT made this such a huge deal. I still don't understand why he didn't have it on Wednesday. It was his first game back and he got an ovation and all that. Second time around, it won't be quite as special when he comes back. Just my 2 cents

Will be interesting to see Brown vs Butler. I still think Brown's ceiling is a better 3point shooting, worse playmaker Jimmy.

I hate how IT's crap is putting a lot of attention on Pierce and the haters thinking it's some "selfish" thing to do on wanting his own night. When has a tribute video of some other player has ever happened on a jersey night of a legend!? It's Pierce's freaking night to be honored. It's annoying he's being asked on what the Celtics should do all day.

I put down two bucks just for fun when the Cs were + 1500 in that huge comeback against Houston. Feels pretty good winning money and watching the team win.

Kyrie is great, but he makes some hellacious passes.
