The Celtics only need 34 made threes to eclipse the 2019 Rockets for 2nd most three-pointers made in a single season. Bombs away, Sam/PP/Mike!

I just want to get through this game with no injuries and no one cutting their hand off. Actually, looking forward to seeing JD and Champagnie. It's like having new toys. Well, also hoping PP, Hauser, and Muscala can continue their strong play. I'm guessing our deep bench is better than their deep bench.

Hoping for the 33rd pick, but 35th from Portland is a nice consolation prize if we miss out on it.

I'm surprised that they didn't add another Round to the Draft.
We'll be picking for 3 x Two-Ways. -- We should be picking for 5 x Two-Ways, at some point.

It's interesting how the g-league is evolving. Seems almost like a real farm system at this point. One of these days Brad will really hit on a guy out of there. This will be Brad's highest draft pick so far if he actually uses it. At least 33rd or 35th will make for a way more interesting draft than picking in the late 50s.

Interesting idea about even more two ways. I hadn't even considered it.

Even if starters (other than White) sit, hoping this is still the approach...

There's rumors of possible expansion. Perhaps Vegas and Seattle. If 2 more teams get added (plus the additional 2-way spot), we may see a 3rd round added to the draft.

Put White in, only so he can play in all 82 games this season cause that is cool to be able to do that in this day and age of load management.

Other than that, I'm fine if the top 7 guys all sit.

Let's see plenty of mins for JD, Champagnie, Kabengele and Pritchard.

Hopefully, when JD and Pritchard are out there together, JD runs the point and Pritchard plays off-ball. When Pritchard runs point with the 3rd stringers, he hogs the ball too much. Prithard is at his best when he plays off the ball, just focuses on spacing the floor, finding the open spots out on the perimeter to get some open looks, or being a secondary creator - along with hustling, being scrappy, bringing the energy. Don't like when he tries to do too much on offense and puts on a dribbling show.

Amen. I applaud any player who's appeared in every game this season. This might be a bit extreme, but NBA should have some sort of reward for players who do this hehe.

Vucevic was supposed to sit their previous game but asked to play since he's never played a full season before. (Neither has White.) Only 10 players have played every game (Mikal Bridges one more game than the others cos of the midseason trade) with one more game day to go.

Happy Easter everyone! Looking forward to a meaningless game today!

Brogdon should sit. Play white for only a minute. We don’t want to risk injuries at this point. Playing brog and white is stupid!
