Mavs haven’t played in 5 days. 2nd night of B2B for Cs. This should be fun.

Curry QUESTIONABLE. Exum OUT. I imagine everyone’s AVAILABLE for the Cs. Unless JT doesn’t show up again.

JT can you please play like a star again..

Finally a game where Jaylen Brown might not get his layup blocked.

Cool this isn’t a national TV so people won’t be able to see Tatum getting bitched by another superstar yet again.

Schedule makers were very rude to us again lol.

Sixers have Spurs. Bucks have Pistons. Wolves have Hornets.

Celtics have road b2b vs Luka and the Mavs.

If we somehow maintain a 3-game lead after January, I think we'll have top seed when all is said and done. Feb to Apr sched of the Cs is cupcake city.

Not only are Celtics are on the 2nd night of a B2B, with travel (albeit Houston to Dallas, so short flight), they are also at the end of an 11 games in 18 days stretch.

Dallas meanwhile at home and hasn't played since Friday.

That's about as big a rest disadvantage as you get.

The Mavs are about as mediocre as they come. A team headed no where except a play-in exit. The C’s could show up drunk and high and should still win.

BK_2020 · Post #12 » by **BK_2020** » Mon Jan 22, 2024 5:42 pm

If Joe wanted to, he could just have Tatum, KP or Jaylen hunt mismatches (which they'll get without even switching) but that would make for a pretty boring game.

Whenever I look at the schedule its the Bucks or Sixers vs one of Detroit/Charlotte/Washington, been like this since October lol

Damn I hate having to watch games on catch-up mode. One hour delay. Can't post in here with you guys.. And I know how much you guys will miss me

There's a very important streak the Celtics have to keep alive: Kyrie (0-4) still hasn't won vs. the Celtics since stomping on the leprechaun logo. It's my banner 18.

Do you think KP will play?

Naw. I doubt it. And that's fine. We have Kornet and Queta.

Not only do I think KP will play, I will stake my life savings ($10.00) on it! Expect a full-on revenge game from KP. 40/12/4/2/5 on 60/50/85 splits. He has yet to lose to the Mavs since leaving Dallas.
