Would any of these outcomes surprise anyone? Win close, Win Big, Lose close, Lose Big.

Orlando to win big so I can sit back and watch the melts would be incredible

We're cooked and season isn't half over yet. Trade everyone and rebuild around Lonnie Walker.

No injuries to report for the Celtics. Full squad back if you are! The team needs our support. Don't give up now, you guys.

Bitadze, Howard, Suggs, Harris, Wagner & Wagner could all be OUT for the Magic.

EDIT: Those guys listed above for the Magic are INDEED OUT. Scheierman & Sons OUT for Celtics per usual, 'cos you know, Maine still has a chance this season even as Boston doesn't.

All I want to know is if Chris Middleton is playing.

Our Starting Lineup Has Sucked Update: Among 36 5-man lineups that have played at least 125 minutes together, the Celtics starting five with KP is 33rd in net rating. Only ones worse are lineups of POR and WAS, both tanking teams.

ORtg of 108.5, would rank 27th in the NBA
DRtg of 120.3, would rank 30th in the NBA
NRtg of -17.2, would rank 30th in the NBA

One of the most absurd things to happen to the Cs this season. They were one of only six 5-man lineups to play 600+ minutes together last season. They had a net rating of +11.0, essentially a 68-win team.

Still a small sample and they can still turn this **** around. Half of season left!

We play better away
I bet Joe and Brad want us to be 5th in the standings so we will get more away games

Celtics Main Rotation 3FG%% Pre-KP (and Post-KP):
• AH: 44.6% (30.3%)
• PP: 41.3% (41.7%)
• DW: 40.6% (34.6%)
• JT: 37.4% (34.4%)
• JH: 37.0% (30.9%)
• JB: 32.7% (31.9%)
• SH: 32.5% (41.1%)

Pritchard and Brown unbothered. Consistency! Hauser's coming along since recovering from back injury. All the rest have slumped. No one wilder than what Horford's going through.
