The game does not really matter. So rest the veterans (especially Tatum) and play Nesmith+Pritchard+Romeo 40+ minutes...

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Was walking down the street, saw this real jive turkey walking towards me, tallish guy, nearly acting like he was John Travolta, wearing a bright jacket, sunglasses.

Then looked closer.

It was my reflection in a plastic side of a bus stop.




You may think you are watching the Boston Celtics, with all these current and future and past "All-Stars" but if you look closer, very few are Celtics Material, and even fewer are a goof fit with each other on the roster.





Kevin Love personally insulted me.

Not saying he has X-Men abilities, going Rogue, but when Kelly Olynyk said hello and touched my hand, you can be sure he knew exactly what happened.

Not saying he is, or is not, supernatural.

But this may be what he wears when not in a 41 basketball uniform.



Certainly didn't ask for it to be done, but certainly understand it had to be done.




Love has certainly been exposed. Someone getting $120,402,172 but unable to shoulder any of the load. At least he turns up to play more than Kemba Walker, gets paid less, but that isn't anything to brag about. No, Kemba is actually better, but an old and injured shooting point guard is not as useful as an old 6-10 rebounder power forward. No, Kemba is nicer to have around, he smiles, that is what people say.

Love would be out of the league without his guaranteed contract, sitting on the bench for the Beijing Beach Boys.

Olynyk, now regarded as one of the best three forward/centers in the NBA.


Cleveland, showing everyone that starting two selfish point guards is stupid.

Don't know why the Celtics try to do the same thing.

Just win the next three games so my prediction of 38 wins is true.

Then after that just losing the play in round and call it a season.

[zoyathedestroya]

Super confident this is the game where we turn the season around. Or maybe two games from now. It will happen, guys!! You just have to believe.

Exactly! The Celtics are cemented into the 7th seed. Rest some key players including Tatum

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Don't care if we lose just play Nesmith, Romeo and PP major minutes.

[exculpatory]

Since our putrid disgusting team owns the tiebreakers VS the Hornets/Pacers/Wizards, if we win this game, we ‘clinch’ the 7 seed.
As bad as we are, that would be very hard not to do.
Then we are very capable of losing first to the Hornets & then to the Pacers or the Wizards.

PS Here is a good one with a minimal likelihood - as bad as we have played, if we miraculously win out (Cavs, Wolves & Knicks) & the Knicks lose out (Spurs, Hornets & US), we get the 6 seed.

[JediMasterRevan]

I cannot believe I am typing this, But I hope we lose.

[greenroom31]

I cannot believe I am typing this, But I hope we lose.

I cannot believe I am typing this, but I plan to watch this game.

[Taget]

I dunno if I want us to win this game. I'm no sure what is good for us. Not sure if I even care. Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see.

Not that it really matters but no Walker or Smart tonight.

[Hal14]

Yikes, will be a pretty bad lineup we have tonight. Wouldn't surprised if we lose to the Cavs.

This will be one of our worst lineups all year, with Kemba, Smart, Rob and Brown out.

C Thompson
F Tatum
F Fournier
G Nesmith
G Pritchard

Bench: Langford, Kornet, Grant W, Waters

Spot duty, may or may not get some mins: Parker/Edwards/Ojeleye

Yikes..

[Spin Move]

TANK!!!!!!!!!! Come guys you can lose this, let Semi and Carson edwards play the last 10 minutes.

Hope Nesmith gets some good minutes before tank time, he only got 3 shots the last game.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

We will win by 30. Cleveland really needs to lose this game so they don’t vault over the Magic and lose some ping pong balls.
