Really tough to see us winning this one, but then I still can't believe we won the last one.

Kyrie will make his own decision. He's a grown man, if he can't go it's all good. Seems like this season was doomed from the very beginning, happy to see the effort tho.

Any chance Brown plays in this one. I believe I saw that he came on the road trip.

It’ll probably be Sacramento for him.

Two-Way Players can't play for us, in the Post-Season.
We'll be down to 10 players.

11, if Brown gets back.

Not trying to start any sort of fight, because I'm in this camp too, but something struck me as interesting today:

Most of the league (Probably 25 teams) would love to be sitting with Tatum and Brown starting, playing a bunch and looking like future good to great players. Yet, we (again myself included!) are hand-wringing because the playoffs could be blown due to injuries.

What a remarkable place to be in.

If Al Horford doesn't play like a 45 year old Vin Baker we might have a chance to steal one here.

If Al plays like he was the first 2 months of the season during the playoffs plus whenever Kyrie and Smart return, this team can make serious noise in the finals even without Hayward but Al needs to simply play better. It’s below average as of late. If he plays average we are still tough to beat even without Kyrie and Hayward.

Looking forward to the Jayson Tatum show again. It’s great to see him having to be our #1 option for experience alone. Good or bad this will only help as early as next year. Games although still need to be played, losses especially against good teams like Portland don’t mean as much especially since we are near locked to the second seed so it’s only gravy for me imo getting to see what our young guys can do without our stars and one of the best 6th man in the league missing.

Celtics after dark. This board gets weird on these late night games. I'm looking forward to it. Not looking forward to getting up at 6 to schlep my daughter across the state for a soccer tournament.

Strange low-key good feeling about this one, for absolutely no reason. I'll say we win. Teams don't like having to expend a ton of energy against d-league rosters. POR will leave a window open for us. We're good at crawling through windows.

Maybe it's just because I'm going to miss most of it so I don't have to invest much into that call. :dontknow:

There's no rule against playing good basketball, even with a depleted roster. Next man up.

When Hayward went down, I thought the season was going to be about developing Brown and Tatum. Then they won 16 straight and I had delusions of grandeur. Now I've returned to earth. Play the right way and don't worry about he rest.

I predict someone goes for 30 tonight, just not sure which side he plays for? Could be Lillard, McCollum, Tatum, or Morris.
