Since they are tanking you would think we got this easy but unfortunately I am no longer surprised about winning or losing to anyone..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Must-win. The board is threatening a meltdown.

Will just remember that the goal is to get Rob to the playoffs as close to 100% as possible every time I complain about his minutes.

Poku, Dieng, Chet, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (who has a lovely name) are all OUT for OKC.

No Poku. Are they giving SGA some time off?

I'm ready to see what Mfiondu Kabengele can do. I have high hopes for him and his game has developed nicely. He just needs consistent minutes but that will be difficult with this Celtics team.

Believe it or not, the Celtics bench still leads the league in 3-pt shooting (39.4%) and true shooting % (61.3%). Step it up, starters.

Mann, I am Giddey to watch tonight's game. Dieng it - I dort know what I'm going to do all day until it starts.

For now, I'll just sip a cup of Joe. And perhaps try on the new wiggins I got for Christmas, to hide my baldness.

But if we win I won't be able to spend my night calling our players soft whilst throwing a massive emo tantrum.

we didn't have rob or brogdon for that game.

Also, OKC had Poku and Robinson-Earl. Both are out tonight.

This should be a win..

It's a Celtic/Thunder game, so I'll post a song by the Celtic Thunder band. And this close to a party weekend, the usual choice seems fitting ...

Like everyone else I'm hoping Boston actually is able to hit their shots.

Boston -8.5 which seems kind of crazy to me I think this game is going to be close.

Yeah SGA is really good. And it seems like kind of an oxymoron since the team doesn't win many games, but he is very clutch if you give him a chance to be. Hopefully we can pull ahead enough to not have to worry about that.

Grant Williams is next. On just six shot attempts.

The playoffs is what matters for this guy.

In the meantime, maybe find an upgrade over Vonleh/Griffin. Horford can't continue playing 30+ mpg.
