Could this be considered a trap game? Warriors haven't been playing well most of the season. It's been a one-man band until recently when their rookie Podziemski emerged as the best player in the planet. They're riding high on a two-game win streak, which is their best since the start of November. Celtics coming off a long flight. Let's hope they remain hungry and unsatisfied.

SIDE NOTE: Oshae Brissett now has a longer streak of games w/ at least one made three than Steph Curry.

Wiggins and Thompson were in good form against Portland.

This game is unlikely to be easy.

This 4-Game West Coast Road Trip is going to be tough. 2-2 would be good; anything more would be icing on the cake.

Cs will go 4-0.

Only potential loss is against the Clips.

This 20-5 start parallels last season's...

2022-23: Cs were 20-5 when they went on their prolonged West road trip. Won first game of that trip (@PHX) to make it 21-5.
2023-24: Cs are 20-5 when they go on their prolonged West road trip. Will they continue winning and will they avoid a December slump similar to last season?

No December slump this season.

Beat LA Beat LA Beat LA!

And the Warriors too!

Won't hurt to put a whooping on the Clippers, wipe that smirk right off of Kawhi 's face and convince PG to come to Boston next season somehow...

Last season the Cs relied heavily on the 3pt shot.

Not this season.

65 wins or 66 wins IMO.

3-1 West Coast trip, up and coming! Big road tests on the horizon. First stop, a little payback for celebrating on our floor with cigars!!!!

with this BTB if they were going to rest Al one game and KP one game -- who do you want playing against GS, and who against SAC?

my gut says play Al against GS and KP against SAC, but curious what others think and/or if anyone wants to put any thought/research into exploring such

Klay Thompson throwback game were I predict he will score 40 points on 5 dribbles because that is how Boston rolls.

Regardless no Green (Unless he comes in from the stands with a wrestling mask on and hits JT with a chair) so there is not much for JT to be scared of.

Should be a 1-0 start to the road trip, but they lost to Charlotte, sooo..

The travel will be easier than one might fear. But it's still 4 road games, with a back-to-back, against opponents that each have played very well at various times in the not too distant past.

Yep, all in California. In previous years, it would be interspersed with games in Portland, Utah, or Phoenix.

**** these dudes. Tatum going to use Curry as a toothpick tomorrow.

Rest in piss.

I think the Celtics will go 3-1 at worst.

With all due respect to Al, KP is better. And since I hate GS >>> Sac, I want KP against GS. Also think starting out the Road trip with a victory is more important.

And the back-to-back is in cities that are pretty close to each other.
