Maine is in OT right now on NBATV. Exciting game. Peterson is playing great, DJ Rodman having a game, and Davison hitting some clutch shots late.

Edit: Welp they lost. Mac McClung is annoying.

Horford and White QUESTIONABLE for this game.

Jabari Smith only one OUT for Houston, IINM.

EDIT: Cam Whitmore is QUESTIONABLE. Maine Sons are OUT.

Maybe they added first home game after long road trip to his load management.

I don't mind the Cs being extra cautious with player's health.

Time will come when health is wealth.

I like that, "Health is Wealth". Plus, we have 17 players, with the 3 x Two-Ways.
Might as well play them, when we can.

Among 364 players who have played in at least 20 games, Kornet is 5th in net rating. The only ones ahead of him are players from the #1 team in the NBA. The Celtics are outscoring opponents by 15.6 points per 100 possessions in the 16.7 mpg he is on the floor. Next Celtic on the list comes at 25th (Pritchard).

The results speak for themselves. We've done great when Luke plays.

Celtics longest win streak this year has been 7 games. They really need to get on a winning streak again.

Head-to-Head Records of Top 4 Teams from Each Conference:

1. OKC: 8-3
2. BOS: 7-3
3. CLE: 8-4
4. HOU: 8-4
5. MEM: 3-5
6. NYK: 3-5
7. DEN: 2-7
8. MIL: 1-9

A win here moves Cs to T-1st and a loss moves them to 3rd.

According to the new power rankings on NBA.com the Rockets are the 2nd most powerful team and the Celtics are #4.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics beat the Rockets by double digits tonight and then lose to the Bulls by 30 points on Wednesday.

Speaking of "Maine Sons" Peterson was really good last night. Not that G League play always translates to NBA but every time he played with us, I felt he played well and looked like he belonged. With his latest G Game, I am as confident as ever in Peterson.

We got to get rid of JoeThibs!!

Got that off my chest early tonight :nod:

Whitmore is out for Rockets. And Smith as you said.

White and Sam out means Spring, Walsh, or Rico will get a chance to play.

Big game coming from one of those guys, I hope!

Double big starters tonight?

Jrue/Brown/Tatum/Al/KP that's about there biggest lineup. But as above leads to a lot of deeper bench guys playing.

I vote for triple wings. Jrue, Walsh, Brown, Tatum, KP… or start Springer and have him **** some **** up.

Rewarding Springer with a start would be cool. But Joe would never..
