So Barnes is now out instead of questionable?

Maybe sit RJ as well? i.e. if he's still recovering from the injury, I don't see why we should risk it in a game where both our top guys are out.

No, he and BI are still listed as questionable.

9 to 5 will lead us to victory

Might’ve caught a break with Ingram

Thank God

CMB will be the offensive hub this game!

If Barnes and BI are out, just give the young guys an extended run.

Let's see some Alijah Martin!

CMB Legacy game! Go get a triple double!

Guaranteed loss? Celtics 9 point favorites!!

I don’t see how Scottie can come back and finish the game vs the Hornets but then can’t play 2 days later?

Barnes downgraded to doubtful.

F***.... I got PTSD from RJ's recent "day to day" right knee sprain that resulted in him missing over 3 weeks.

never want injuries but you do want to see how the team looks without certain guys at some point too

We saw it with RJ being out. Nobody stepped up to fill the void.

we're due for a dub against the C's. They can't win em all.

Pritchard going off.

It good trial run to see if CMB can step up in Scotties absence.

MiamiSPX · Post #37 » by **MiamiSPX** » Fri Jan 9, 2026 6:02 pm

Pritchard, Gonzalez, Hauser, Garza.....2 of those 4 will notch career highs in points tonight.

Westside Gunn · Post #38 » by **Westside Gunn** » Fri Jan 9, 2026 6:06 pm

Can we at least get 30 plus minutes of Dick tonight
10-12 minutes wont do it with Barnes and BI sitting out

SFour · Post #39 » by **SFour** » Fri Jan 9, 2026 6:11 pm

I feel like one of Barnes or Ingram will play

Syd-TK3 · Post #40 » by **Syd-TK3** » Fri Jan 9, 2026 6:11 pm

If Barnes is doubtful and Ingram is still potentially hurt there's literally no point in even trying to play them. Celtics would just blow us out the gym anyways
Rest up for the more important matchup with the sixers
