Tough task against a formidable opponent. They've got studs across their lineup.

Gonna need to set the tempo early on and not let up. Perhaps the altitude will help us rekindle our offense? :wink:

We couldnt guard Jokic at all the last 2 times we played and hes had a rough few games scoring................this could get ugly for us if we continue playing like a bottom 3-5 offense

Strap up on defense, and make shots that's it. I think the Nuggets will give a ton of opportunity to score, we need to capitalize on it.
Good assessment:

Nuggets are the second best team in the west and the way the Celtics are playing not seeing a win. This team may only win a game or two this trip with how bad this offense is.

How is this trolling? Read it again, but read it properly this time. Our offense has been horrific (27th right now) and Jokic gave us a ton of issues the last 2 meetings

if Brad doesnt get the offense rolling its gonna be very hard to win

No reason to let 14 year olds (both literally and mentally) bother us. It's kind of sad on their part, the obsession reminds me of pre 2004 red sox fans with the Yankees.

I'm not a Raptors fan and my guess is that if the Celtics play disorganized offense again they will lost tomorrow night. If Irving wants a big payday he better not blow too many more layups.

Liked. SmartWentCrazy been stepping up big time with the warnings. Been waiting for this to happen for a while.

Guess your patience ran out. :D

I guess that's what's needed. Rest, since they're in a time crunch.
This again, is why I say that the Preseason should be a month long.

Let them get in practices (two-a-days, iff nec), get into NBA shape, AND workout the minor leaguers.
We have the two-ways, Affiliates from Camp, and Rookies, et al, going down to the minors.

Makes sense to me, to utilize that preseason time for cohesion.
