Is Oladipo riding with them on the way to Houston? LOL why was he seated courtside and not with his team?

[zoyathedestroya]

Celtics with another rest advantage game (though they did travel today from BOS to HOU). Rockets playing against the Jazz tonight in their home arena. Bullock, Oladipo, and Eason are OUT for them vs. UTA.

[Fierce1]

Houston going to OT against the Jazz.

Cs have no excuses tomorrow.

[zoyathedestroya]

Celtics are now 18-4 when the starting five is available. In all of the losses (DEN, @MIL, @OKC, @PHI), Tatum and Brown both shot below 50% from the field.

Starting Five W-L Record by Calendar Year:
• 2023: 15-1
• 2024: 3-3

Which just means Horford is playing against Dallas tomorrow.

How funny is it that the guy we replaced Brogdon with has an injury to the same body part that made him inefficient in last season's playoffs? Hopefully this isn't a long-term concern.

False hopes for NoJo Walsh fans.

Tough time slot to compete with the Bills today. I'll be sitting this one out

[zoyathedestroya]

Celtics had a different leading scorer in their last five games. Pretty sure it's the first time that's happened since Tatum's rookie year (not counting the end of last regular season when we sat starters).

Odd one-offs in that span: Javonte Green, Ojeleye, Theis, Hauser.

Fournier and J. Parker also qualify (+ G. Williams if we include the playoffs) as one offs but the oddest thing is that Baynes doesn't qualify not because he never led the Celtics in scoring but because he did it too many times.

The Baynes bit was a shock for sure lol. Don't even recall it happening or the circumstances around it.

Rockets are 16-6 at home and 4-15 on the road. So this will likely be tougher game than when we beat them in Boston a couple weeks ago.

Hugs everyone!

They played an OT game yesterday.

Unless the Rockets are not human, they should be a little tired, to say the least.

Waiting on Dunk on Baynes day where these both take him to the poster

With Jrue OUT, we need another ballhandler. Maybe we see Banton?

Rotation: Pritchard/Banton - Brissett - Kornet - [Queta]

[bisme37]

Fred Van Vleet, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and Jeff Green are all OUT for Houston tonight.
