I just can't support a team that loses to a contender who loses to another contender who loses to yet another contender who loses to my team in the regular season. I just cannot.

KP, get well soon. Also, I hope the coaching staff and team are working on our flaws in anticipation of/preparation for the postseason. 'Cause we are not without them.

Teams the Celtics have beaten at least once:
• every Central Division team
• every Atlantic Division team
• every Southeast Division team except Hornets
• every Southwest Division team except Pelicans
• Lakers, Clippers, Kings
• Wolves, Jazz

Teams the Cs have yet to beat:
• Nuggets
• Thunder
• Blazers (2 gms left)
• Pelicans (2 gms left)
• Hornets (2 gms left)
• Suns (2 gms left)
• Warriors

Need to win this one for my "beat every team at least once" banner at the end of the season.

I didn't watch the Clippers game so as far as I know we're on a terrific win streak right now. Go C's no one can stop us!

Everyone's available for the Pelicans.

Read on Twitter

Should've signed Dwight when we had the chance.

That would Suck, if all 3 of them were OUT. Queta gotta step up, either way. Don't get so many Fouls.

Just a guess... Porzingis plays in this one and Horford plays vs. the Pacers on 2nd night of B2B. KP rests following night. Kornet OUT for both and we see more Brissett, esp against the Pacers.

Celtics usually bounce back after a loss. Expecting a strong performance tonight.

Reminder: The most famous lines about Pelicans reference eating.

A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week!
But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?

We stopped at Robbie's pier in the Keys a couple years back to feed the tarpon and instead the kids got mobbed by about 40 pelicans, all of which were as big as they were. They were super aggressive and swarming and it was all I could do to not kick them lol.

Celtics are 0-3 vs Zion in his career. We just broke the 0-3 TNT curse this year, time to break a curse again

8-1 after a loss. We haven't lost consecutive games since Queta made his debut for the Celtics.
