Nikola Jokic will be using women's hygiene products in this game.

Might want to let Baynes, Horford and Theis know that, if they start smelling ladies' scents it might be a bit confusing when they detect it is coming from Jokic.


The Celtics should dedicate this win to Tyler Lydon.


Faried, an example of why you don't pay someone who is undersized and only does one thing a lot of money. Faried is the backup to Millsap, Plumlee and Lyles, maybe Hernangomez too.



As Ojeleye's shots have been a tad short, they will all go in for this game due to the altitude and the thinner air.

We truly have a special player in Kyrie, and he’s only 25. Which means he still has another 4 seasons before he’s the same age as Steph and Durant.

Also, Brad is the second best coach beside Pop. And no one can tell me any different. Don’t want to hear Carlisles name.

Tatum and Jaylen are our lottery projects. Both coming along nicely but have a ton more development left.

Jaylen mentioned how special this team is when they are “locked in”. He mentioned that playing the Warriors brings out that locked in mentality and they need to be able to channel that same mentality night in and night out against other teams.

Brad needs to get this team to be locked in more consistently. Especially Jaylen, Al and Rozier. When those guys are playing with that look in their eyes, we are a tough group. Dudes like Kyrie will bring it every night.

Last night was like that moment with your wife where you realize why you love her so much and how lucky you are. Sure some nights you want to write a post how Danny needs to trade half these scrubs... but then nights like last night you realize .. wow, this team is fun to watch and we are truly building something special.

Following the Clippers and Warriors games, a win against the Nuggets will go a long way to confirm that our mid-season funk is over. Let's hope so.

Feels like a loss, they play good as the underdog but not as the favorites, plus the altitude and Denver being a good team.

Go small and take advantage of that idiot coach Mike Malone’s absurd starting lineup that contains both Jokic and Plumlee.

Morris at the 4 and just go at Jok/Plumlee from the get go.

We really should win this. The Nuggets are winning right now thanks to talent. Their coach is a joke.

Denver currently sits at the 8 seed in the west ahead of the Clippers at 9. Sure it's not the Warriors, but some intensity has to be there again. It's another sort of borderline postseason team that IMO we should beat if we SHOW UP.

Watched last quarter of DEN-DAL game. DEN looked bad... We need to attack Jokic everytime...he is so slow on defefense... Just need to be careful about giving them open three point shots...

Think we should win this one. I have no basis to prove this either, but since the Clippers game I am starting to feel this team is getting out of the funk they were in post London. I got no idea what happened in London despite us winning, but they were just so out of sorts after that trip and the rest periods. Some of them sound like they got sick too. After London they got back to Boston in the deep freeze we had going on for a while when Brad was joking about it feeling like outdoor basketball games with the drafts.

I thought the London breaks would help the team but it seemed to be the opposite effect since before the London game we were on a streak.

Celtics win tonight it's a pretty good road trip at 2-2 especially with all the things going on (i.e Smart, Horford) with the team. If they lose it's a bad trip.

It's ok, we might get to see Kadeem Allen get some burn. Been playing well for Maine.

All right, time to start a new win streak. If we nip this in the bud right here, nobody will remember that one mid-season stretch where we lost 5 of 6, once the playoffs start.

Not that we really need him in games, but how in the world does Yabusele keep injuring himself when he barely plays?
