Not sure where to say this but happy thanksgiving to all my Celtics Fam! It's been a pleasure being heartbroken over the years with all of you and then finally seeing us breakthrough and win it all! I'm thankful for all of you. I hope you have a good one.

Even though we can have our rough patches as fans on here, I agree, we are all Celtic Family. Happy Thanksgiving.

Like any game we play. I just want a Win + huge Garbage time for my end of the bench Binkies. Well J Walsh is not really end of the bench but same thoughts.

My folks, who for some reason only care about thanksgiving like once a decade, decided to spend $400 on a massive dinner from a fancy restaurant, then gave me all the dark meat, and are now complaining that their white meat is dry when they cook it in the microwave.

Could be the first time this season Cs will have their full roster healthy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Kornet is listed as PROBABLE on an otherwise clean injury report.

Lonzo is PROBABLE, Jalen Smith and Coby White are QUESTIONABLE, Patrick Williams is OUT for the Bulls.

Celtics are scoring 47.82 points per possession on these. Yes, I just came up with a random high number.

If Kornet is available to play, we will finally get to see the Tillman | Horford | Queta | Porzingis | Kornet lineup. No shots in the paint for the opponent. They will all be stationed just outside the paint to avoid defensive 3 secs. and will defend threes via the Kornet Kontest. Time to re-revolutionize basketball.

Ok cool but who would be the back up big men?

This team really needs a few more good big men.

All smalls. Pritchard, Davison, Carson Edwards, Tremont Waters, and Isaiah Thomas. Lonnie Walker didn't make the cut.

Alright guys, now's the time to pick a side. Do you want Cleveland to win so we advance with a win against the bulls? Or a Cleveland loss so we move closer to them in the standings? Idk, it's still very early in the year so the standings don't matter as much. If it was late in the year it would be an easy decision for me.........easier decision I should say. It's still easy for me. I want Cleveland to lose.

I actually just commented on that in the other thread about it: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2420362

The Cavs being a game or two ahead of us in the standings in November is not a big deal imo. Let them wear themselves out trying to win every game.

So go Cavs and Celtics today.

I would rather Cleveland lose. I'm not that interested in the cup thing. Is this team sweating the fact that we didn't advance last year? The cup is for teams that are unlikely to win anything like current lakers. Plus it's an extra game and a plane trip to LV when our guys could be getting rest. All that matters is another banner.

Hawks turned out to be their kryptonite somehow.

Barring a Cavs comeback, a side effect of the Hawks defeating Cleveland is the Celtics will be in run-up-the-score mode vs the Bulls.

Not only is this game ruining our chance to win the group, but they keep trying to close the legal loophole that gets us 87 cent generic viagra. I'll take 100 milligrams thank you very much!

Well I'm grumpy about the Hawks-Cavs result lol. Now if/when we beat the Bulls all it will do is clinch the group for Atlanta.

On the other hand, if we beat the Bulls we'll be only a half game back of Cavs in the RS standings. And we can still advance in the Cup on point differential if we stomp Chicago.
