Celtics can still make this a 10-6 January.

It starts with this game.

No LaVine - should be easier
But nothing is easier with this team (and coach)

They'll win this one, because they need to keep their 500 streak alive...

[insert random Bulls player] will go off for 40 and we will lose.

Bad news for Boston that he is out.

Except it won't be easier and Boston won't take this game seriously at all. Cannot wait for Jalen Smith to drop a career high 30 or Giddy to hit 8 threes.

If JT is not playing, this will not be easy.

Brown's role needs to be reduced on the offense. Jrue and especially White need to be handling the ball a lot more and involved in actions with Tatum and Porzingis. Stick Brown in the corner for 10 games and let's see how it looks. Brown needs to be catching the ball on the move in the paint to attack, not initiating offense.

It is not easy even if he is playing, especially the way he is playing lately

The offense runs better with JT at the controls.

And he does not hesitate to pass the ball when he's doubled or triple teamed.

True, but shot selection is bad and FG% is down. He can do better (like all the team)

Does "personal reasons" mean "researching other cities"?

"Personal reasons" without a scandal in the press usually means having a new baby
In this case - the family's third child

Cool to see Anton Watson on the injury report (didn't know two-way guys showed up there) -- I hope Joe can find a few random minutes for him in some blow-out (or not!) games this spring.

Wishful thinking, I know, but I've sold my Xavier Tillman stock and put it into WatsonCoin.

Almost of the opposite of hoping for a trade, then. They surely are hoping for a trade deadline that doesn't involve them.
