Tatum goes for 60 tonight!

It's feeling like those early 2000's teams when we had Antoine and Pierce and a bunch of retreads. God I hope Danny can find some bench help.

Tankathon says the Celtics have 5th easiest strength of schedule left this season. I do think the second half schedule is going to be way easier than the first half.

EDIT: So it's actually the 5th easiest left in the first half of the schedule. Still, I checked, the Celtics have yet to play:

Atlanta (10-12)
Charlotte (10-12)
Dallas (9-14)
New Orleans (8-12)
OKC (9-11)
Minnesota (5-15)

All with losing records. It's crucial to win a lot of those games to keep our record afloat

82-0 or however many **** games this season is. I'll settle for the team staying healthy though. I'd like to see TT continue his streak of not looking washed.

Not happy with the Double Big of Theis and TT.
Though, Double Big with Theis and R. Williams, looks good.

Honestly, the double big lineup with Theis and TT has worked the last few games; really the only way it does work though is if Thompson plays not washed.

Rotation: Teague - Pritchard? - G.Williams - R.Williams
Reserves: Edwards - Nesmith - Green - Ojeleye

It's funny that you say that. Nesmith is actually a tier above the other three.
If someone's out, he moves up.

Brown and Pritchard still Questionable?

**** happy Pritchard is back but we likely have no shot tonight

GoCeltics123 · Post #33 » by **GoCeltics123** » Fri Feb 5, 2021 9:39 pm

Paul George is questionable. Our only shot to win is if he doesn't play IMO, unless we just play lights out

PP's in the House?
Well, that's a good thing.

We are about 4.5 game behind them though, statistically.

Not feeling too good about this one.

I'm a little bummed Jaylen's not playing because I figured if he was only in a little pain he'd keep it to himself and say he was good to go. So it must be worse than I was hoping. Also, I never understand why we release this info so early in the day. It just gives the other team a chance to gameplan for the roster they'll see. Let them think Jaylen is playing until the last minute imo.

Ok now that I got the complaining out of my system, let's get the win!! Happy to see Payton is back, we've been missing him.

I think that they have to do the 3PM Injury Report, League-wide, right?

Oh maybe you're right. I feel like in the past there have been games where you're not sure if a guy is playing until the game starts ("gametime decision"). If they changed it, please disregard my whining on that subject haha.
