Celts Enjoy Delicious Raptor Poutine! Victory Cigar vs TOR 4/5

[Fierce1]

Rest the Jays, Rob, and Al.

No need for those 4 guys playing and risking injury in the last 2 games of the regular season.

Since we have proven not to be the most durable team of players, Losing one of our main 7 players is a fall bigger Obstacle then being a little rusty or out of shape in my opinion.

Especially Robert Williams..

I would argue if he can't go two games without being injured then he won't make it through a series anyway nevermind the whole playoffs

Play the man.

[Triple7]

Bench Smart, and we win most of the time. The duo of Smart and Joe will be the problem come playoff time.

Again, I skipped the game.

How did Hauser get the top +/- on the team with putrid shooting? I presume it's something to do with rotations, but nothing jumps out at me from the box score.

He did play excellent defense with a block and tommy point dive with assist. There were some things to like despite the shooting.

However it was also the luck with +/- in a single game.

Marcus needs to rest, too. We want that ankle to heal up and not get injured worse. He was ineffective in the finals last year because of the ankle injury and it has lingered this season too.

And Malcolm is fragile, can't handle a lot of games. He needs rest too.

Mazzulla will have a balancing act in these last 2 games. Play them to keep up their stamina, keep them in rhythm, so they don't et rusty and to ensure we finish with better record than nuggets in case we face them in the finals - sit them to avoid injury.

we're now 1-0 all-time with Flavor Flav in the building.

Just sayin..

Jakob Poeltl: 10 points in 23 minutes. Was on the bench during crunch time. 0/0 from 3
Mike Muscala: 12 points in 31 minutes. Was on the floor during crunch time. 3/5 from 3

I was there.. Sad that there was about 30 mins of hip hop on the PA and no PE.

They probably figure most of the crowd doesn't know PE songs. But c'mon now, 1 song couldn't have hurt!

Should have played He Got Game. PE song and theme song from a basketball movie (that starred a former Celtic player)

Omg we held on and won the big game you guys this is amazing!

just realized a) I love this line and b) have you been using it all year (or beyond) to c) get ready for the Finals run?
IF it might possibly jinx it, no need to tell me

From my understanding shooting doesn't play any part in the plus minus equation. That's why you always see smart shooting 3-15 and he ends the game as a +5 for example.

Haha I don't always use that exact line but I think I do always put "you guys" in there. And often "Omg you guys." And I call every game the "big game." And winning is "amazing!"

So basically yeah, it's often a variation of that line.

Lol the Raps board is very upset at the utter disrespect of Tatum eating popcorn.

All else being equal -- if you shoot better, your team scores more points, and if your team scores more points, your +/- is better.

So I was asking, roughly speaking -- what else WASN'T equal?

his team played better when he was on than off and it was probably just luck but possibly the threat of his three point shot. Who knows. It's a 1 game sample.

Went Brogs. Felt like an early regular season game again after some of the intense ones we've had lately. Bucks game for sure, PHI not as much, but there was way more energy in that one than this one. TOR didn't seem to care a ton, so we responded with just enough effort to squeak it out. Works for me.

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

Brogdown & Browndon.

Seems kinda pointless to play the starters/core guys any further significant minutes when they've already logged too many miles in the RS. The 1-week lay-off also kinda negates any carry-over in terms of stamina & rhythm. Less injury risk in just trying to maintain cardio on the track & pool, and rhythm in gym practices/scrimmages.

The core guys already know each others' games like the back of their hands, so it's not like they need any more reps to reinforce familiarity.

Besides, a few added days of rest will definitely be more beneficial in the long run to guys like JT, Al, Rob, Brogdon & Smart.

Who the hell is that?

And NO, that music nauseates me.

Sorry, not music - bothersome noise.
