How many players are out for the Celtics tonight after that marathon last night?

Post #3 » by **bisme37** » Mon Mar 6, 2023 5:15 pm

Oh yeah go win a game in Cleveland hours after heartbreaking double overtime loss in Boston. Easy peasy.

Yeah, that game was bonkers. Expecting Horford to sit after that, and no Timelord or Brogdon for this game makes it harder for them.

Felt the same way yesterday. Went to the bucks game Saturday night and may have over indulged. I'm 35 and had trouble staying off the injury list for Sunday's game. I was barely able physically and emotionally to watch another NBA game less than 21 hours later. Don't know how guys like Horford at his age can do it.

I expected no Horford tonight but damn, no Tatum too. That makes tonight a lot less interesting of a game.

No Tatum, Horford or Rob Williams. So basically no front court vs the Mobley and Allen Cavs lol.

That was dirty but Tatum looked blind on that replay

The NBA needs to do more to get rid of b2bs. This should have been an exciting, highly advertised game. 2 of the best teams in the conference, now no one cares.

I'm not blaming the Celtics, they just played a crazy game and shouldn't risk injury. The NBA needs to do better in these sort of matchups. Put a back to back against the pistons or something, not Cleveland.

Hart and Randle goon it up so much. They have really reckless plays and haven't really developed a reputation for it for whatever reason. Almost got LeBron and AD injured multiple times. I'm dreading that upcoming Knicks game just for that.

Yeah they are bulls in a china shop or whatever the saying is. Funny thing is they didn't even call a foul on the Tatum tackle lol. They called a foul moments later when he did the same thing to Jaylen on the same play.

As much as I hate the Celtics I hope they get the 1 seed back from the Bucks. Celtics/Knicks or Cavs and Bucks/Sixers in the 2nd round is much more interesting to me Bucks/Knicks or Cavs and Celtics/Sixers.

The Cavs will face the most terrifying team so far in this season.
The Celtics bench.
Superstar Derrick White with 30 points and 15 assists.
Celtics will hit +23 3s.

100%. The Bucks still have four back to backs and played nine this year I believe. Just go down to a 72 game schedule.

The Celtics were flopping all night it's good they got a taste of what real falling down is like not that Knicks were playing with any malice they were just playing hard trying to win.

Father Horford is the most terrifying thing our team could face and he’s out tonight. Ever since Tristan Thompson used to beat him up and steal his lunch money every time we played him, Horford has seemingly made it a mission to destroy our team every matchup.

Of course they can never perfect this, because teams can end up much worse than expected or much better than expected.

if the players want to shorten the season so badly, they're welcomed to giving up 10% of their pay in the next CBA

Who wins?
