Koloko, Gary Trent Jr., and Anunoby were all OUT in their loss to the Bucks. Awaiting word if any of them will be available for this game.

Tatum hasn't lost in Toronto (5-0) since the bubble season.

Crush them by 30 points then call a timeout with 1 second left and dedicate it to Schröder.

Wonder if Gradey Dick will start for Toronto again?

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

When will the Celtics lock up DWhite long term???
Having Jrue and White long term to team up with Tatum should be a priority. They bring calmness, toughness and grit, and JT plays better with them. I’d get rid of Jaylen first before those two. KP, when healthy, also fits perfectly.

They had to do it before the Season Started. Now they have to wait, I believe until the next Offseason?

Yes....the same timeframe before the season. Roughly three weeks before the season. Let's hope they didn't make a mistake passing on him this past off season

I agree. They better pay that dude up and not be cheap, especially after paying 300M to JB.

Cs will get it done.

White and Jrue will be extended.

It's going to be a 6-year window.

Hopefully Cs get a minimum of 2 championships during that 6-year window.

Yes. They should have that whole starting Lineup extended.

6-years more? -- I actually can see that, with Jaylen & Jayson being still so young.

I read an article where Wyc said it's a 6-year window for this core.

If both Horford and Porzingis are Out, then we have a problem.

Getting an additional playable big is a must.
