Probably should stop posting "CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!" until we actually play better. Hey at least we're not the Wizards.

Let's try to get this one and the next game and the next. Next thing you know, we're 73-9 and have the best record in the NBA heading into the playoffs. CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!

[Green89]

2-3 on this tough road trip wouldn't be all that bad. Let's get this one. Kyrie drops 40 this time. We need some O.

[ConstableGeneva]

Just know that whatever happens this game (and this season), know that I love you all and that together, we can get through this. Respect each other even though we don't agree on everything. All love here, Celtics fam!



I may or may not be drunk at the moment.

[FlatearthZorro]

Might sound weird, but I'd love for Theis to start when he comes back instead of Hayward. Would also like for Bob to get some minutes.

Still have hopes that the offense will come along, cause this can't continue happening. Dunno when tho.

[SmartWentCrazy]

Im gonna switch things up and predict an L here hoping that my streak of incorrect predictions continues

You won't beat the blazers if you need OT to beat the suns and get manhandled by a sub 500 jazz team. 1-4 incoming meanwhile the raps sixers pacers and bucks continue to win.

I don't care how tough their schedule is good teams find a way to win and they're not doing that. Last night was the second time a sub 500 team beat them and they damn near lost the second worst team in the league Thursday. Celtics clearly have too many SF and and they don't fit.

This team is as disappointing as the wizards.

PS i predict Seth Curry looks like Steph Curry tomorrow night as the Celtics streak of making average players look like Superstars continue.

[CSL_1904]

The positive from yesterday was Tatum looking good for most of the game in terms of decision making and shot selection. Hopefully that continues and with Kyrie back we should be more consistent offensively.

But we really need to get back to being good defensively. We've been poor on that end so far in this road trip and really, despite our struggles offensively, we should've won that game yesterday had we played better D.

My one game of the year I get to see in person. Hopefully, Brad starts Baynes for me. Would be a great game to do it against Nurkic and Gordon just having played the back to back. He brings what the starters need, and what the bench doesn't. I don't think it's a coincidence we've been getting torched by guards without him out there much. If not, give me the game where everyone finds their shot.

Either way, win this and we're at 8-5 with a nice schedule the rest of the month.

Why does a Sunday game have to be at 9pm? I realize it's 6pm on the west coast, but Sunday games should be earlier IMO.

I am sorry but good teams lose to bad teams all the time. Things aren’t black and white. Teams go on runs and have streaks of bad play.

We have talked all offseason about how it could take our guys a while to get back and readjustment playing with the entire roster. This is literally happening right now.

Hopefully we get it together tonight.

[K For Three]

In my head I had Utah as a loss and Portland as a suprise win.

Save us Kyrie......

Well we are 7-5 with wins over Milwaukee, OKC and Philly, so clearly, we are finding ways to win.

Relax brother. It's November.

Yeah well the celtics are losing to bad teams as well as good teams. Meanwhile the raps are 11-1 and having zero issues with their team. The problem with this team is Brown and Tatum took a step back and Hayward isn't fitting in, he may never be the same but Stevens has him staring for some reason.

This starting 3 small forwards that cannot shoot clearly isn't working. Raps are going to runaway with the east at this rate and now that the Sixers traded Butler for scraps that is another team that passed the celtics. Not sure how many more games before people realize that this roster isn't working.

You're doing this thing you tend to do every rough patch where you go from an outstanding poster to someone who posts complete nonsense. Get a hold of yourself, man.

He's not playing Hayward for no reason. He's trying to make sure Hayward gets his rhythm back in time for the playoffs. We all knew it was gonna be a slow process, I'm not sure why people are so pessimist. Be a little patient.

And I don't think Jaylen and Jayson have taken a step back. They're just adjusting to a different role. In Tatum's situation it's just about him learning to stay patient and make the right play everytime instead of trying to force things. We saw that last night. He looked great because he got back to taking the right shots.

This is JB. He is a GREAT guy and a board legend and I love the dude but he is the ultimate pessimist. After a while, you get used to it and learn to love the guy. lol.

Tatum stopped with the Kobe shots and took it inside.

Maybe all of us, the whiny posters of RealGM, finally got through to him.

Just go check out his beautiful shot chart!
