We're on pace to win 65 Games.
We do around 60, I'll be Ecstatic.

Former Cavs GM David Griffin says Celtics are built to beat the Warriors. He didn't specify whether that's with Hayward or not. I believe him. I've thought for a while that we have a better chance of beating the Dubs than the Cavs in a series just based on personnel and how we/they play.

I know it was just 3 regular season games (2 of them without KD) but I feel like we have the right personnel and scheme to counter what the Warriors habitually do. As opposed to still not having an answer for Lebron and still not having enough rim protection. If iso-Giannis can do whatever the hell he wants against us, imagine playoff Giannis with a three pointer and elite passing surrounded by shooters at every position (that's what Lebron is. Dumb **** isn't slowing down).

I hope I'm wrong though. I so want for the Cs to finally end LeBron's reign in the East.

This one got me up off the couch yelling. Completely unexpected. As was most everything that season!

Probably pissed off the pro-tank crew more than anything. That late season run for the playoffs post-IT trade got us Rozier instead of Booker or Myles Turner hehe.

Read on Twitter

Dr.J was my favorite non-Celtics player growing up. Pretty cool of him to compliment/admire a current C.

Spread is -6. Why do i think that's kinda high? Was hoping for like -3.5/4.

Still think we win though. Al's back right?

Pull Gobert near the perimeter & throw Smart on Mitchell. &&& They revert to Rubio dribbling in circles.

I've resigned myself that during this heavy game stretch, without practice time, we're not gonna see a lot of "complete" performances. Basically on any given night either our offense or defense will be present and sometimes but rarely will both be in attendance. We'll still get plenty of wins but Im expecting our best ball to come from February to April.

Tonight however, all im predicting is a fun game. Jazz are pretty cool, play a nice style and should be conducive to an entertaining game. Will be interesting to see Kyrie inside against Gobert. Gonna be a pretty important game for Horford offensively too, dragging some big guys outside.

Absolutely crucial to do a good job on Mitchell, we''ve been getting killed by "smaller" guards recently and I need Smart and other to shut him down tonight.

Mitchell is a fearless rookie, and Quin Snyder has awesome hair. Nonetheless, if the Cs can do a good job defending Mitchell and Ingles, this should be a win.

The Celtics do have a lot of what you need to beat them, specifically length on defense and the ability to switch. The Warriors really don't ever beat you physically, they beat you with incredible jump-shooting and tough defense. The Celtics aren't a very strong team, but are long, so the Warriors offensive scheme is more ideal for us to guard. Now, would we beat GS? Absolutely not, obviously, even with Hayward IMO. It's just their scheme that's easier for us.

The Cavs are different in a lot of ways. They have LBJ, the strongest player in the league arguably, and a bunch of shooters and tough rebounders. Guys like Love/Thompson are tough inside. They have basically no offensive scheme at all, but when you have a freight train, you don't really need one. The Celtics have pretty much no one on their roster to slow LBJ down besides maybe Morris; if LBJ dominates the game, so do the Cavs usually. Because the Cavs are more physical, it's harder at times for the small Celtics to guard them.

Well he got the boot off so he should be back to full strength and playing 35 mpg any day now

Crazy. Cave probably posted in another thread, but that .500 ball the rest of the way gets us 50 wins.

Theis is easily better. He's what Jonas was supposed to be before that bad injury he had.

Hopefully Theis is healthy for the playoffs, didn't he just get outta his boot?
