Celtics have won 11 of the last 12 meetings. And while the Pistons have improved a bit this season, Cs should still win this handily.

We're also getting them on the 2nd night of their B2B. They have an NBA Cup game today vs. Milwaukee, vying for a quarterfinal spot. Going into that game, their two-ways and Bobi Klintman are OUT. Barring something unforeseen, Celtics should have everyone back.

[ThePigeon]

Let the bruised and ill get well. Sit Jrue, Al and maybe JT
Stay Ready Group + PP, Hauser and Kornet (they are not part of this group anymore) can handle things

[ConstableGeneva]

Holiday and Tatum are both QUESTIONABLE for this game. Everyone else is a go.

- If Porzingis is playing, I'm expecting the Celtics to win easily as he does a number on Detroit's Bigs.

- Probably should give Al, Tatum and Holiday another day off; Brown too.

- The Peterson Era continues and it's time to send Walsh back to Maine, as he simply isn't an NBA player at this junction.

- Hopefully the cost to move Springer drops as more of his salary becomes pro rated. Get it down to one Future 2nd.

Getting bounced from the cup may not be a bad thing. We'll get two easier games, and the Cavs will get two tougher ones.

I miss Mike and Tommy.

That's the post.

We're getting the Pistons and Wizards who we've beaten 20 out of the last 21 meetings with an average point differential of 15.33 ppg. Couldn't have worked out better for us. Better not waste these two freebies.

Cavs get Wizards and Nets so likely neither team makes up/loses any ground on the other.

Maybe I am alone in this, But Boston really needs to sit Tatum. whether it is injury, Boredom, fatigue etc... I feel a day off would do far better for him than playing. Of course Tatum probably takes great pride in being available on a regular basis so it's not going to happen.. Just saying.

You're right. He should sit; rather than be lackluster out there.

[ConstableGeneva]

Davison and Watson listed OUT for Cs. No change with Holiday and Tatum statius so far.
Klintman and Ausar Thompson OUT for Pistons.

[Homerclease]

Pistons always seem to play us tough. I’d still sit Holiday though. Selfishly I always want Tatum to play

Yup..and we get more rest..

[ConstableGeneva]

Dunno if this is gonna factor in our team's approach, strategy, and mindset but I want to let them know that them winning makes me happier than losing. Just hoping they take that into consideration if they even care about us at all.

[Jellybeans]

Holy **** JT is finally out

Growing pains. He'll be fine. He shot out of the cannon and then he came back to earth. Maine will cause habits that you can tell they are trying to break now. I love that Joe has faith in him because if there's gonna be somebody who can coach him up it's dr. Joe.
