DID YOU KNOW?: If the Mazzulla era Celtics win their next 3 games AND not lose the six games they did in December, they would match the W-L record of the first 200 games of the KG/PP/Ray era?

Point differential of 1st 200 games of KG/PP/Ray era: 8.525
Point differential of 1st 197 games of JT/JB/JD era: 9.236

Oh. I wasn't sure you meant him
Forgot he was here since the start of Joe's tenure

His parents didn't like him so much giving him this name
I pity his school teachers

Questionable as always
If he took more than 10 unaided steps today, he'll miss the game
Otherwise, he is good to go until he rolls his ankle trying to play basketball

Unusually late release of injury report today. But expect either/both of Horford and Porzingis to be OUT since it's the first night of a B2B w/ HOU following day.

Technically, JD arrived when Ime was still coach but then he was caught dicking around with a co-worker.

Horford is playing tomorrow, OUT vs. Houston.

Porziņģis and Brown are both QUESTIONABLE. Watson, Davison, and Schei are OUT.

EDIT:
For the TWolves, Dillingham and Garza are both OUT.

The last 4 meetings have been close even as the Celtics have won 14 of the last 16 matchups between the two teams.

If Brown and KP can't go, would love to see more Walsh and Queta in this game for added athleticism and length. Tillman against Randle would be nice too though I would just let blackhole Randle get his. That's usually a positive for anyone playing his team.

Another .500 team that has nothing bigger to play for this season than trying to win their match up with the defending champions. Lame.

Randle plays well against us.

He puts up empty numbers and he's usually a negative against the Cs. Out of the 25 games he's played vs. the Cs, he's been a positive just five times. Pretty impressive really.

C's play the Rockets day after tomorrow. Eason and Jabari Smith could both be OUT due to injuries and they're without Amen Thompson who's been suspended for two games after body-slamming Tyler Herro (who wouldn't?!).

BTW, happy new year to all who celebrate! My new year's resolution is to post more on RGM since some are saying I've been slacking with the posting.

Celtics lost at Minny, Houston, OKC, and Denver last season.

So even if Cs only win 1 out of the 4 road games, you could say it's a successful road trip.

This team is so widely inconsistent right now who knows if they win by 30 or lose by 10. It makes the team interesting I guess.

As for KP, I don't think I have seen another player getting injured or hurt almost every game on pretty much non contact. He literally get injured just by taking steps. It will be a miracle if he plays in the playoffs at this point.

Yeah, quite frustrating. He had been mostly healthy the last two seasons then it was all down hill in the playoffs and since.

5 months of no real game time action and then a couple of practices in Maine. Then straight into the fire in an NBA game. I thought the Maine plan sounded like he would ease into some games there and sell out some LL Bean Porzingis jerseys. The XMas day game against Philly would have been rockin for a return and even though it was only Maine at least he would have some real action on the court. Get his feet under him and all good. Except he turns an ankle the same way I stub my toe at 3am going for a pee. You never stub your toe at 7pm when you're all coordinated and ready to go.
