Looking at the standings, if the Knicks win this game then it's 100% they will only meet the Cs if they make the east finals.

20 minutes.

Ouch, that's brutal. I feel like all the things I have hated on for years- resting, unlimited spending etc has finally been fixed just in time for it to handicap boston

they don't have to go full throttle, but if you're not, then don't put the playoff lineup out there. don't let teams like the knicks get comfortable beating up our playoff rotation. if we're gonna shut it down, shut it down all the way

They are pretty much forced to play them due to the new rules

Only 10 mins though right?

I think it's 20 mins?

So, 3-D chess on slow Joe's part.

It is strange how Celtics players don't even attempt to run at wide-open shooters or try to raise their hand.

Getting drummed like this even in a meaningless game not exactly ideal with everybody playing at home

It’s not really a handicap.

They play 20-30 mins, who cares what happens as long as they don’t get hurt.

I seriously don’t know how anyone can take anything from these games.

If you’ve ever played sport and in a game where the result won’t affect standings etc you would know sometimes its just damn hard to give a ****.

I played in multiple ball games like this and definitely lost a couple because we simply didn’t care like the other team did. The Knicks want the 3 seed.

How close do we have to get to qualify for a fake comeback??

Red2 · Post #255 » by **Red2** » Fri Apr 12, 2024 1:03 am

Tatum ..2 points in the quarter

JB doesn’t seem himself and idk why he’s playing so much.

That's the magic of Jayson Tatum, he does nothing but brick 3s and muff layups, but we still watch him play every chance we get.

Boohoo haha

Are we going to even make the play-in?

Celtics don’t care enough to even consider a fake comeback. Get the starters out. Bring on Brissett, Kornet, Springer, Myhaililuk etc.

Yeah, I think the Celtic reporters on CLNS have been saying the Cs are not showing their hand, so to speak, the last few games.

If you think about it, if NY holds on to the #3 seed, it's most likely going to be Bucks vs. Sixers in rnd 1 then Sixers vs. Knicks in rnd 2.

All those 3 teams are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best teams in the east.

So Cs losing this game is really not a bad thing.
