Holy crap at some of the posts about the Celts over on that board. Does "insecure" have a whiny little brother?

Expecting a bounce back game from Smart. Will be tough without Kyrie but if Horford is there, we got a good shot. Can't wait for the Celts to be a part of the Raptors super bowl game tomorrow!

No Kyrie makes this tough. Hope horford is back at least.

If the Celtics can somehow shut down DeRozan then they will be fine. Jaylen Brown and Ojeleye should be guarding at all times and never Marcus Smart or Rozier.

Hopefully Horfie is back. We need him to direct us on offense and defense.
Good assessment:
PLO wrote:Tatum played OK - took advantage of a few mismatches - decent on the defensive end. He is what we thought he was going into the season - a technically very proficient player operating close to his career ceiling as a rookie.

I too am hoping Horford's back for this one. Kyrie can rest up his face a few more days if he needs to and come back for the Warriors game.
More importantly, I just want to win ALL the games. Is that too much to ask??

Just about to fly to Boston for the game, selfishly hoping they worked OT on that mask last night, or that Kyrie dug up his old black mask...

Throw Brown, Mook, and Semi on DD, hope Smart doesn't shoot enough bricks to put the infrastructure company out of business, and have Baynes muscle up JV, while Horfy takes care of Serge. Should be a good game, too bad I'll miss it.

Maybe our defense can choke the raptors. To me, this is a hard game. Hornets were terrible Friday, especially walker. If we can win this in the 90s, I like it. But if it is 100 pts for raps, I don’t think we have the firepower.

Kyrie has a little flair for the dramatic and given the streak, I wouldn't be shocked if he played today with the mask. I just don't know what a day or two extra rest is going to do in the grand scheme of things. I think there's a chance Kyrie plays and gives the team a huge last minute jolt of adrenaline. We'll see.

They put a Toronto Raptors jersey on it and now it sucks again.

It's just amazing the absolute delusions that occur on their board. It's so funny.
One guy said if they blow us out today it would basically send a message they aren't f**** around with us this year. Like what? Beating a mostly D-League squad minus Horford/Tatum is sending a message? That makes no sense.
Also Froob they called you out for saying the Raps are scum. LMAO. That's what gets them mad? Scum? What are we in middle school now?

Karate Kid theme last game was being mad at injuries, then Kyrie got hurt. But we go for 12 straight with the memes today.
Tonight we aspire to laugh at the worst fanbase in sports. The one that has parades over division banners. The one that thought Kyle Lowry would outplay Kyrie Irving the last few playoff series. The one that complains about our lack of modern era championships, yet has none themselves (have never even made the finals). The one that thinks DeRozan is Kobe 2.0. I can go on forever. Let's do this:

I really like early games for some reason...
this baby is lunch time on the west coast.
leisurely sunday morning (in progress)...then a workout, then a short hike with the family... then follow the game, then still time for the honey dos
