Wee on the Zards sounds like a yummy exotic dessert or name of a really cool 70s rock band. Keep winning, Cs!

Just get it done quickly & efficiently with no injuries. Lots of rest for the starters in the second half.

Hope we see a much better 3 ball from our MVP after he practices 10000 of them today with his trainer.
Stay RED HOT #7 & practice your 3 ball as well….& try to limit your TOV to 10.
Derrick Brogdon - be superb as always.
Marcus - defend & distribute (carefully) - 5 FGA MAX!
Al be Al & Bobby be Bobby DIFFERENCE MAKER (AND DO NOT NOT NOT GET HURT).

The Wiz are 4 games outside of the 10 seed with 7 games to play & want to go on vacation - they have already purchased their tickets for the evening of Sun 4/9.

Before Covid, I did not miss a Celtics game in DC for more than 20 years.
Not sure what I will do tomorrow. I did get my second bivalent booster a week ago (which will be officially recommended by the FDA very very shortly - the last highly informed estimate by the brilliant epidemiology group at the University of Washington is that the vaccines have saved 1.5-2 million lives).
Whether I am there masked up or not, the place will have about 15K (AT LEAST 1/2 to 2/3 of whom will be wearing green = TD Garden South).

Excellent chance for a Sixers loss VS the Nuggets in Denver tonight.
Maybe Luca & the Flat Earth dildo moron can somehow get their **** together for 1 game & tune up the Sixers on Wed.

It would take a miracle for the Pistons to beat the Bucks tonight or for the Pacers to beat the Bucks on Wed.
But Zoya Geneva told me he recently talked to the bball almighty (like the Irish dude in Braveheart), & was told that one of those huge upsets will happen. If not, feel free to tar & feather Zoya.

Then the MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST WIN SHOWDOWN IN MILWAUKEE on Thursday!!!

I will insert new updates periodically in the Seeding Thread when appropriate.

Duplicate

They’re tied for 3rd worst record (5-12) since the break, even worse than the team we just beat. It’s possible they’ve already shut down Kuzma and Beal. It would be an embarrassment if we lost to these guys. Joe said it doesn’t matter if we win by 3 or 33. I disagree. Against the Spurs, starters were able to rest cos it was Gino Time. Since our OT loss to the Cavs, no one is averaging more than 36 mpg.

(Although I’d like to have a couple more close games against good teams just to see how they execute in those situations. We’ve been blah in the clutch recent weeks.)

Tatum is due for a 50 bomb, and the Bullets are one of the teams he already has multiple against, even though the play in games just don’t count for anything lol.

Finish them in 3Qs, rest main guys, and prep for the biggest game of the season.

MINUS INFINITY EXCUSES (ZERO EXCUSE TOO GENEROUS) NOT TO STOMP THEM.

Celtics best two-man lineup, minimum 300 mins.: DWhite and Timelord (Net Rtg +17.3)
Celtics worst two-man lineup, minimum 300 mins.: Luke and Grant (Net Rtg -3.2*)

*Cs only pairing with a negative net rating among 40 qualifying combos

Unfortunately with Beal and Kuzma out Boston is probably going to take the wizards lightly. This could end up being a close game.
