Make sure White and the rest of the team sees what Nesmith posted. We need to get this win.

Nesmith has become very annoying, I'm surprised Brown swapped jerseys with him after the game. He's a glorified hater now, hand them another L!

Nesmith and JB are friends. Even JT said he loves Aaron after the game.

In fairness it'd be weird if JT said he can't stand Nesmith after the game lol.

Tatum and Hauser out?? I hate when 2 players who play the same position are out. Especially losing 2 floor spacers. I am hoping Brissett gets a good chunk of minutes (though not a floor spacer) But I have a feeling someone unexpected may play more. My guess is Banton or maybe even SVI..

PP's shooting and creating will be needed more tonight and I look for D White to step up bigtime.

Uncle Al may need to drop the people's elbow on Nesmith if he gets out of hand again.

Smart move. Back to Back Minny and Milwaukee coming up.

I hope one or more of our offensively challenged deep bench guys feasts on the Pacers' D.

The injuries suggest this is a game for both Brissett (obviously) and Queta (on the assumption we wind up using all 4 bigs).

I hope that leads to a nightmare for the Pacers on the boards.

Get Semi and Yabu some much-needed run! They can help us in the playoffs!

They should watch how Warriors did it in the Finals, protected Curry when Cs tried to hunt him. Easier said than done though if you don't have a Draymond or Wiggins on your roster.

EDIT: Just remembered Warriors successfully did it last December while missing Draymond. Curry had 5 fouls IINM and Cs tried to put him into the action every time down.

Caitlin Cooper needs to be on some teams staff. These explanations of various plays and schemes are top notch. Maybe she can take over for Amina Smith on the NBSBoston broadcast.

Gonna be tough without JT and Hauser playing the same team again on the road but this Celtics team is imo easily the best team in the league so they’re very capable of getting it done again

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk to the rescue!

This will be a good opportunity for JB to outplay Haliburton and remind the rest of the east that we're just on another level. Would be great to see him and KP take care of business.

We will regret trading Zizic…

Or take over for Scalabrine.

Tatum avoiding a Neismith injury.
