Sham and Buzz. GET A ROOM YA LOOSERS!!!

[rajajackal]

was really looking forward to playing these guys with og on the team. oh well, guess it'll have to wait for the ECF

It's a shame we have to play them without OG. I would love to see how OG and Precious did guarding Tatum and Brown. But so long as Thibs doesn't leave Porzingis free to bury three after three, this should still be an interesting game.

Given Sims superior mobility and footspeed, this might be a game where he plays major minutes against Porzingis. We have to prevent him from killing us from three. To hell with the paint.

Precious might be a good matchup on KP

Yeah you have to take away something from these guys, and if I had to choose it's gonna be taking KP's spacing out of the equation.

On offense i fully expected the Celtics to collapse on Brunson when he gets into the interior. The spacers need to make the Celtics pay for it.

No OG and Randle makes it tough, but it's not an excuse. Compete and play hard defensively, and the team has a punchers chance.

[FrozenEnvelope]

Not expecting a win but hopefully it's a competitive game. We're gonna have to hit a lot of 3s and hope Boston has an off game.

Hard to imagine us being competitive vs them because we can't guard perimeter big men. KP/Horford kill the funnel.

We will need someone other than Brunson to be waiting in the paint to take charges from Tatum/Brown and we need the refs to make the correct calls.

Thibs is just going to let KP shoot 10 3's, because he'll never let his big man cover the 3 point line

[Im Coming Home]

Win. Get used to more of it.

Our defensive effort blitzed Philly in that first half and the last half of the 4th Quarter.

Not saying Boston is equivalent to Philly, but every one of our guys is playing hard nose ball so any team that is not geared up for that can get taken.

[3toheadmelo]

put precious on tatum. he has the length and speed to keep up with him. put hart on brown

kp is likely gonna light us up so we will just have to deal with that i guess

[Jalen Bluntson]

Well, we will get to see what Thibs draws up as a game plan. It's going to take some creativity to pull out a win here. Everyone will have to bring their A game for this one.

[KnixinSix]

We at home it’s time! Reminds me when lakers got healthy for us. Let’s wash these fools.

Timberwolves on TV all day couldn’t beat bucks lol

Hartenstein was saved for this game. Going to be a good one.

Tonight is a big time test. If they can either beat or be really close with the Celts without Randle or OG that is a HUGE positive.

OG is such a monstrous defensive piece to not have on the court but Hart (possibly our 2nd best non Center defender) looks rejuvenated after the break so that is helpful as well.

Achiuwa also has been playing stellar D and is an excellent counter balance to Randle and Bogey at the 4.

Want to see just how this squad holds up without all 3 of OG Randle and Mitch

This is terrible news. Brunson/DDV/Hart/Precious 44 minutes incoming!

Brunson/Burks
DDV
Hart
Precious/Boj
iHart(limited)/Sims

Sims should get a lot of minutes in this game.

[TKKnicks1]

Damn. McBride would have done a decent job on Brown.
