Celtics' next two opponents are the top two offenses in the league. Good tests for our 3rd-ranked defense.

Celtics are 8-1 against top 10 offenses so far (only loss to Philly), limiting them to 108.8 pts per 100 possessions. That would rank 27th in the league in offensive rating.

Honestly hoping to see a few Queta minutes on Embiid. Celtics/Sixers games are always entertaining and fun.

I would love to see Queta on Embiid. It would be good to see what Queta can do; and not fall for Embiid's tricks.

Does anybody know how Porzingis has done so far in the impact metrics against Philly?

Philly 2 in offense 9th in defense. Celtics are 8th in offense 3rd in defense. Celtics, Philly Denver and Minn are the best teams in the league right now IMO . Denver is doing well without Murray cuz Jokic is just that freaking good.

Damn how often are they going to play these guys.

Is it a good thing that I feel more confident against a good team like Philly than when Boston plays some of the bums in the league?

The only bum team the Celtics lost to is Charlotte.

Out of the 4 losses, 3 came from teams at the top of the standings.

Embiid missed their game vs. the Pelicans tonight. Last minute removal from active roster due to an illness. Hopefully they're full strength when we meet. Need to beat the best to be the best. Also, his father Al enjoys seeing him whenever he can.

Let's take it slow with Porzingis. These November games don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. We want KP healthy for the playoffs.

Plus, some other player is sidelined indefinitely with torn calf, news just broke today. I don't want that to be KP next.

Maybe bring him back the next game, after Philly.

Maybe Al can block a shot into his other son’s lap too.

Maxey 38+ minutes last night. Dude is going to lead the league in minutes played.

I posted this in the Bulls postgame but it was too funny not to share here as well. Zach Lavine reminds me of what Mike Gordan once said when talking about "would you trade for Melo" (back in Melo's prime), "I wouldn't trade a bag of basketballs for him."
