Another road game..........we are not good on the road. Does not bode well if we don't make a high seed.

Although I guessing we bounce back for this one.

Still Hoping this team can still turn things around and go on a run up the standings. Baynes will be back in a game or 2 and i really think hes one of our biggest holes. Hoping we can snag at least the 3rd seed by playoffs

This one smells like a "W." (Let's hope it doesn't just smell.)

So when faced with a tough schedule stretch, we're a .500 team. Got it.

40 games left to get a decent groove back. Honestly, so long as we start to peak at around the 65 game mark, I think we are going to be fine. Milwaukee and Toronto are the threats, and I could not care less about Philly or Indiana. Get a W against the Nets, then go dinosaur hunting on Wednesday.

10 point loss..20 point win.

Neither would surprise.

Kyrie won’t be necessary against the Levert-less Nets. Better for him rest up and recover in time for the Raptors game that’s after.

Gonna miss this one. SAD! Don't get too road-crazy and win by 3 points or something without me!

For what its worth, the nets have been better without levert

with levert 6-8 with a -2.21 SRS and a - 1.8 differential

without levert 15-15 with a -.89 SRS and +.04 differential

i dont think the nets will win this game, we have cooled down, diniwddie is clearly showing signs of fatigue and kurucs may be hitting a rookie wall, which is worse for him because he played very little in europe last year. Nets will need to be hot from three to win this one

Well maybe we win, but a just below .500 team versus a .600 team it is what it is.

We're horrible on the road and just a team with 0 talent. We have 1 allstar and that's it. Just need way more top level talent on this team.

Sixers, Raptors, Bucks all have MVP level player. Sixers and Bucks have a second all-star, Raps may have a second all-star but it's tough to tell with Lowry and Siakam... both on the cusp.

Nets don't have an all-star, we do in Irving. Pacers only have 1 all-star and some potentially close ones.

I guess our team is doing about as well as it could with one all-star, not as good as the Pacers but not as bad as say a Wall-less Wizards team or a Hornets.

Side note, the Celtics did their shootaround at a facility called Pier 36, aka Basketball City, in NYC today. It's the exact place I used to film at for work.

Piece of s*** company I worked for too, but still kinda cool to see that.

Ah, lemme guess - flu-like symptoms for Marcus. I'm guessing Terry had the same "illness" on Friday. :lol:

I hate when the team creates these fake injuries to rest players but its cool. Kyrie needs to chill and relax. He is talking about a championship or nothing almost as if he knows Cs are far away from it and he is only staying if we win it all which will only happen in NBA 2K this year at least

Here's an idea:

Hayward-Brown-Tatum-Morris-Horford as the starters tonight.

What do you guys think? Hayward runs the offense in this scenario.

Shocking to hear this, but when I re-watched the game, the Cs did play the Magic tough, and Orlando hit a bunch of contested shots in the 4th. Ross, Fournier and Vuc all hit big baskets while being defended very well. Gotta tip your hat to them.
