Celtics have not lost 3 straight games this season.

Don't start now.

This team needs to start winning and finish strong. It would be funny if the lakers ended up with a better record than this team.

For the record, you think the Lakers will end up having a better record than the Cs this season?

Just don't lose
Playing at home in the middle of the day with some injuries — this doesn’t look good for our chances.

No but would it surprise you? This team has been very inconsistent this year.

Would be nice if the starting 5 can be healthy for once. Feels like every other game 1-2 starters are out. Feels like KP and Jrue are always out and JB gets random injury where he’s out here and there.

BOS: Porziņģis and Holiday are DOUBTFUL. Jaylen is QUESTIONABLE.
DEN: Nnaji and Gordon are QUESTIONABLE. Cancar and Watson are OUT.

Knicks won 10 of 13 before facing the Celtics. We won.
Pistons won 9 of 11 before facing the Celtics. We lost.
Cavs won 13 of 14 before facing the Celtics. We lost.

Nuggets have won 11 of 13 before facing us today. Result TBD.

Gordon is GTD. Brown and Nnaji are IN, Holiday and KP are OUT.

Tatum and Jokic are the only 2 players who lead their team in total points, rebounds and assists.

Tatum has leveled up as a playmaker too, leading all forwards in points-per-game in pick-and-roll action as the ball-handler while dishing out a career-best 5.8 assists per game

I’m psyched for this game, Jokic in Boston for a national broadcast!
I’m bummed tho at this point in the season that Scheierman, Walsh, Peterson didn’t really develop much in-season and Jaden Springer flamed out because when Jrue is out, we seem like we’re missing one piece
But I’m psyched…Let’s Go Celtics

Aaron Gordon is now OUT.

Looks like Jrue will be out a while.

When I think of Jokic I think "amazing" but also kinda "slow and plodding," but the Nuggets actually lead the league in fast break points. So we gotta get back on defense.

No Porzingis, have the police ready when Jokic murders the Boston Front Court...
