Jrue is not going this whole season without a victory cigar.

[ConstableGeneva]

My lazy ass won't update the OP for the injury report. Gonna just post this instead...

[ConstableGeneva]

We still need to avenge the silly loss last mid-January. Show no mercy, if at all possible.

[Fierce1]

Can't let Poeltl go off again.

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

When the Celtics are done with the Raptors, it will be like a Sopranos Mafia hit...

I wouldn't mind Olynyk on the Celtics next season though... And he's with the Pelicans.

[ConstableGeneva]

It’s been fun watching the Celtics play basketball again. No going back now. Just keep the guys healthy and maintain the 2nd seed. Problem-solve as we go, but there haven’t been many holes in the Celtics’ game recently.

[165bows]

So just KP/Neemy up front?

This team needs a few more big men.

[ConstableGeneva]

Come on, Joe, use 10.

White | Hauser | Brown | Tatum | Porzingis
Pritchard | Walsh | Craig | Scheierman/Tillman | Queta

[Fierce1]

Still waiting for Rico's big game.

[ConstableGeneva]

FUN MILESTONE WATCH: There are 25 games left in the season. Number of threes these players need for Cs to repeat having 8 guys making 100 threes each in a season:
• Porziņģis: 25
• Horford: 20
• Holiday: 19
• Brown: 7

Those 4 along with JT, White, Pritchard, and Hauser have already accomplished that same feat last season. Celtics are the only team in NBA history to have done it. This will be their 3rd time -- all during Mazzulla era (Smart, Brogdon, and Grant instead of Jrue, Pritchard, and KP back in 2023).

Poetl is now out tonight according to Cameron Tabatabaie.

It'll probably be Porzingis and Queta vs Orlando Robinson and Chris Boucher.

Look out -- Orlando Robinson is a summer league legend I said what I said

[playa-hater]

3rd game I will be watching in replay. Just waiting for this regular season to end.

Side note, of all the "Max" players, I believe Scotty Barnes is the most overrated. Still young, maybe in time.

Are we sure Al will be out? Meanwhile Tillman is clearly not in the plans going forward, but for his sake I would like to see him play. He seems like good trooper, just waiting for his chance.

Something isn't clicking for him. My best guess would be that his knee still isn't right or he doesn't trust it yet.

Yeah I agree. Just hope he can show some good signs going forward. For his career. He is still young despite looking older than Joe and Al

[KamikazeK]

Come on, Joe, use 10.

White | Hauser | Brown | Tatum | Porzingis
Pritchard | Walsh | Craig | Scheierman/Tillman | Queta

I still can't believe how tillman has fallen off. At times last year he looked like a new al horford. What happened?

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

One of these games, I would like to see Rico starting, to see where's he at...

[ConstableGeneva]

If this turns into a blowout, we could have the premiere episode of The Rick and Dick Show in the 4th.
