Game 15: Bucks at Celtics - 11/22/23 - 6:30 - ESPN/BSWI

Really hope Marjon is good to go in this one, cuz this could be a great opportunity to force Griffin into understanding that he's the best wing option (other than Crowder) to throw at Tatum/Brown in a potential playoff series.

I'm hoping Marjon progresses with his game to the point where he's firmly entrenched in Top 8 playoff rotation.

All I read was, marjon is progressing and I was like oh man not this **** again

Tatum is a go

[JBucks]

131-97, Celtics. Tatum has 42.

No one actually thinks Tatum isn’t playing, right? We’re gonna get destroyed.

A full Cs team only beat the raps by 3 full Cs team only beat the grizs by 2(that game should of been a L) and tatum played against the hornets n lost.Dont think we are getting destroyed though im very worried about our D or lack there of.I know grif loves the scoring 2 guard but tonight im 100% for marjon starting to cover brown.This is the type of game AG needs to use his head

I'm sure Giannis is going to get **** for this if this clip circulates even though he's probably just trying to get locked in for the game.

C'mon guy, this is a referendum on Bud, right? Can the new look team figure out a way to knock off the Celtics.

I get how some of you chicken littles are downplaying the game already, but it's a huge measuring stick for us on many levels, with or without Tatum.

These are, Philly's good start notwithstanding, the 2 best teams in the East and so anytime they meet it'll be a marquee game. That said, I think it means more for Boston. For one, they're the home team and it always stings a little more to lose these marquee games when you're the home team. Second the issues that Boston has are personnel-related, a reliance on jump shooting and frontcourt depth. I think the team we see today is largely the team we'll see in 6 months. With the Bucks, obviously Dame and Giannis are still working out the kinks, Jae who is 5th on the team in minutes per game is out and Khris is still on a minutes limit. With all of that, if they still win at Boston and it isn't because of some ridiculous anomaly performance like Dame going 9-11 from 3, that's worrisome if you're Boston.

Saltics fans already comparing this to the Jordan flu game. Unless they lose, then it's just an excuse.

Only If you're desperate for a narrative to peddle one way or the other.

We replaced a highly successful coach and traded Jrue and assets for Dame.

This is hugely important game. We’ll learn a lot tonight, and it might be very good.

Lets win this

It's one game. I want to win it too but you cannot make it into more than it is. I get that's not how this board works though.

[DutchManDanFan]

Nothing would be better than a Dame 50 piece and multiple daggers down the stretch.

Best-case scenario IMO.

Better scenario is if Khris has his best game in 2 years. If Khris gets hot against the C's again it will be huge.

[MickeyDavis]

I still get fired up when they show the game 5 Jrue steal

[Plossum]

Damn, Boston's starting five has a +28.4 net rating

[blazza18]

Feel like we can assume the defence is going to be ass tonight but what we're going to learn more about is if trading Bud and Dame is worth it on the offensive end for matchups like this one.
