The Really Rottens have now won 8 straight. That should make beating them more fun.

Make no Mistake, LAL is legit. adding Luka with Lebron has not worked out bad at all. But much more importantly the Powers that be definitely wants LAL to win. I really do fear them in the Finals because of that alone. Imagine the calls they will be getting. Ot Boston not getting.

I had losing to LAL -all time worst feeling. then losing to Lebron on any team as 2nd worst. Losing to Luka as the 3rd. Please Boston, kill all 3 birds with one stone etc..
There is no prize for coming so close Do something!

And it could give them the HC tie-breaker, they already whooped us in LA.

They’re creeping up in the standings, they could get home court against us in the Finals if everything keeps breaking right for them.

BIG GAME!

If the refs don't give Luka-Reaves 40 free throws, we might have a good chance.

But are the Celtics going to be even remotely healthy?

I am wondering if they have been sitting guys because of who they have been playing the last few games?

This is a game where KP should thrive.

C's can be baited into mismatch hunting again and stagnant possessions like last time. KP might think he can score against everyone on the Lakers but if the referees allow them to be super physical, he's easily bothered by it. Lakers can just stay home on the shooters and let KP have an inefficient night. I'd rather have JT dominate from playmaking standpoint. Ball in JT, PP, and White's hands.

Redick turning out to be a good coach. I need Mazzulla's best today. Hope we're prepped. Don't want Lakers winning... anything really. Can we go back to their fans being miserable? **** Nico Harrison.

It’s just a regular season game, but the fate of the world hangs in the balance here.
