[GoCeltics123]

Our last 8 games in Indiana:

2019-20:

W 114-111
L 122-117

2018-19:

W 117-97
L 102-101

2017-18:

W 112-111
W 108-98

2016-17:

W 109-102
W 105-99

So basically, if trends hold, this game will be excruciatingly close. FUN

Celts in 4 (quarters). Won't be easy, Indiana is solid when they are healthy. I'm still not sad we didn't get Turner, he's underwhelming. Tristan does more with less size and athleticism. That said Turner will probably have a career game tonight and half the board will lose it's **** again.

Tatum needs to be the clear best player on the floor tonight.

Alright here's the drinking game for tonight:

1.Every time someone says shoulda traded for turner.

2. Every time prichard gets on the floor.

3. Every time brown shoots a short 2

4. Every time magicbagley turns the discussion to harden

5. Every time the announcers mention gordon hayward/indy/brad Stevens saga

6. Every forced shot by Tatum

7. Every free throw Tatum makes: drink the whole drink.

Yeah that one is very rare, hence the harsher penalty.

Saying it is harsher is a stretch, I really REALLY love drinking.

Like every game, Brown and Tatum need to score 60-65 points combined in order to have a chance at winning. Let’s Go Celtics!!!

I'd like to see a 2nd Unit like the following.
We really need some shooting. Time to put Nesmith in there.:


Proposed Rotation:
Smart - Brown - Tatum - Theis - Thompson
Teague - Pritchard - Nesmith - G.Williams - R.Williams

This one ain't gonna be easy either. But, after the last two, it will probably still feel like a breath of fresh air. That doesn't mean they won't still smack us if we don't take them seriously, but it's not a zero-margin-for-error scenario. We don't have to play perfect to win, just pretty good, and we'll be right in it.

Well, whatever happens, remember, right now it's all about the Jays learning to be "the man"s. It's not going to be pretty every night, and their efficiencies won't always be what we'd like, but, it's going to pay off in the long run.

Hopefully Kemba gets back by late January. Another couple of weeks to get his game legs back.
We just have to hold the Fort 'til he comes back. We need that 3rd scorer.
