I want the Stay ready group a lot in this game. Am I wrong about this??

Can't wait to yawn all game. Can we get to June already?

Don’t quote me on this but I think this will be an All Female Broadcast game. Abby Chin gonna do PBP.

I won't quote you, but I believe you're right.

I already vastly prefer the radio broadcast team as it is.

That's Rico Dorchester's music they'll be playing...

BKN: Whitehead, Thomas, Melton, and their two-ways are OUT. Ziaire Williams and Clowney are PROBABLE.
BOS: Brown is OUT. Tatum and our two-ways are QUESTIONABLE.

Looks like we're facing a more complete Nets team this time around.

I can’t have my boy Brown nursing an impingement of any type come playoff time. Get that thing healed.

feels like the last couple of years we've often blown teams out in G1 of these series, then have to protect against a letdown in G2.
Not the case this time -- and then the Nets went and played last night.
So I want a total SMASHING tonight -- c'mon Boston: FULL PERFORM!
is janos;)

Should, will, KP and Al play?

Dunno about the "should" part but they're available to play and are most likely playing.

KP should in order to get repetition and game shape

Only game between last Saturday and this Friday, so it looks like it'll be more of a full dress rehearsal (less one or both Jays) than you'd expect if the schedule were more condensed. KP might also feel like he owes the home crowd a decent performance?

Some people are concerned about JB’s 65-game eligibility (can’t miss more than 4 games after tonight) when they should be more concerned about getting him in tiptop shape for the postseason. He’s not winning any awards this season either way imo.

He'd better not win any awards anyway; I like the chip on his shoulder mentality, especially with Jaylen.

Yeah for sure All I need is for him or one of his teammates to win the Finals MVP.
I guess he could have an outside shot at all NBA 3rd team. I think all Defense is a stretch.

A win here would get the Cs to 50 wins, their 4th consecutive such season. That would match the 4 straight by PP/KG era from 2007-2011. Bird and Russell eras of course each had 9 consecutive 50-win seasons. (It's really equivalent to 11 straight for the Russell Celtics but his first two seasons only had 72 games.)
