W. If the C's can reach 30-win in first half of the season, I'm satisfy.

This is a big game and a really big test. Would be a HUGE win.

[Kalela]

Defend the 3 point line. Play Marcus Smart 40 minutes and keep on Harden at all times.

[GoGreen]

Not too confident about this one. Just hoping to keep it competitive with how inconsistent this team has been.

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

If you have been watching their recent games, you will know they are struggling. The Rockets are.

Without a Capela, they lose a third of their offense. Shoot a three and flop, go to the basket and flop, and the other part was lob to Capela. He obviously helps on defense too.

If C Paul plays, Rockets will be better, but that is unknown right now.

Baynes or Horford will score on Anderson inside, and Irving may give up a lot of points but will score plenty too.

Harden scored 51 against the Lakers, and lost.

Is there a chance for the dream matchup of Jabari Bird versus Demetrius Jackson?

The Rockets lost their depth to get old point guard Paul, and now with injuries they have little to use.


Orlando can win with Reggie Jackson striking out for Detroit. Celtics can be too big, quick and healthy for Houston, and if that happens it will be a big night of games as the others are close to being draft meaningless and won't impact the standings around Boston's level too.


Don't want to see anyone fouling Harden on 3s or when he flops when he shoots coming off a screen. Should know all of those tricks by now.

I'm the opposite, I just have a strong feeling the Celtics will win, think the Celtics are the better defensive team,
if Paul is out that helps the situation greatly, a healthy Capela may have done some serious rebounding damage to the team,
and I am expecting some more Tatum Magic, a dash of Larkin sorcery, a solid win.

[SmartWentCrazy]

I have no expectations of winning this game. Second night of a B2B vs a very good team. If we win, awesome—but if we lose, I won’t be upset.

[radcot]

This is a George Costanza opposite game. Everything says we should lose so I say we win.

[return2glory]

This will need a lot of focus on B2B games and we need a few role players to have big games. I’m looking at you Marcus Smart.

[tfribs45]

Keep Cobra onHarden all night long...Need a good quality win as we've been slumping. No excuses on a back to back, we have a young team! Need to rebound and go to the basket like Tatum did last night! Go C's

Happy Festis to you! .


For all the yipping and yamoring about our shortfalls and our problems, and despite a rash of injuries, we remain the top team in the East....

People have to realize that the other top teams have their problems too....

Look at both Toronto and Cleveland losing again on the road last night.....Raptors got blitzed by OKC and the Cavs lost by 14 to Sacramento.....eek!......A 40 year old Vince Carter did them in!....

Lets get a good home court win against a top three team (record wise) tonight....

[GWVan]

Wait, Nene is still in the league? and he's starting tonight?

I figured given the new theme for GTs it'd be appropriate to post this here too:
