Kyrie again resting with "fake" injury.

I actually like this system, sitting Kyrie giving Rozier/Brown more minutes.

Would also be good to rest Horford in this easy games.

I agree that we should be resting Horford, ramping up to the Playoffs.
But with Baynes being OUT, it's not as likely.

Make sure you strike first and hard. That way Theis, Yabu and Time Lord can get extended minutes.

Terry loves to play vs. the Cavs it seems, he can't screw this up on the road though since it is a road game. The Cavs are awful, got to just take care of business.

No Kyrie makes it even more difficult for a team that has struggled on the road. Hopefully Hayward and Tatum are agressive cause we need to win this.

I honestly don't think we should have any issues winning this game. The Cavs are really, really, REALLY bad.

As many of us predicted, things would get better and the early season panic was not needed. 24-9 after that 10-10 start..only 4 games in the loss column behind GS, Denver and Toronto. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see this team finish with the 3rd best record in the NBA when it's all said and done.
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!

**** awesome!

We haven't been exactly reliable against bad teams this season. And i've only just realised there's a Raptors-Sixers game tonight aswell, which makes this even more of a must win.

This day in Celtics history 35 years ago

The Celtics defeated the visiting Detroit Pistons 137-134 in overtime.

The big three led the Celtics, Parish with 36 Pts and 18 Reb, Bird with 28/19, and Mchale off the bench with 33/13. Danny Ainge went 3-12, scoring 9 points and fouling out. The team was 1-4 from 3pt range with Bird making 1 of his 2 attempts.

The Pistons were led by Isiah Thomas with 36, Kelly Tripuka had 20, and Vinny Johnson had 19 off the bench. The Pistons were 0-1 on 3pt shots with Thomas missing their only attempt.

Boston would go on to win the championship over LA in 7, Detroit would be upset 3-2 in the first round by the Knicks, getting torched by Bernard King who averaged nearly 43 pts a game.

Larry Bird would win the MVP and Finals MVP, Kevin McHale the 6th man award

Trade Danny, he almost cost us the game with that performance.
