We need to find out how many more consecutive games Semi can play without registering a block. The active streak is at 51 dating back to last season. 64 if we count the playoffs.

Romeo recorded 1 block in his first game back lol.

His streak without registering a steal was pretty long too wasn’t it? You almost have to try not to get steals or blocks lol. At least every 5 or so games anyone can luck into them.

Not a pretty long streak for steals, but he's already had 10 streaks ranging from 7 to 13 games. Still damn impressive.

Bryn Forbes has an active streak of 122 games without a block.:o So apparently Semi's is only the 3rd longest (Brunson 2nd w/ 54)

If Hawks & Heat lose tonight, & we beat the Sixers, there will be a 3 way tie for the 4 seed. 26-25.

I know - an extremely premature thought given how inconsistent & disappointing this team has been. But hope springs eternal.

PS I really like Fournier!

Statement game for the Celtics to show the league that they finally have woken up from their hibernation. Let’s see if the Celtics have any fight left in them this year.

Pretty tight odds in Vegas. Sixers have been the better team all year so if we could pull out a win here it would be a huge statement.

76ers? Please.

It's time. Time to start putting things together and remind the league the C's ain't no joke. It's been up and down (and down, and down some more) but the teams getting healthier, the ball has been moving, and the D is looking less like a sieve.

It's time to remind teams that coming into the garden should never be taken for granted.

Tacko Fall shuts down Embiid. Romeo clowns Simmons. Celts win by 30.

There is logic to doing this and Scal talked about it. But we are on a roll (2 games ok) there is also logic of just keeping things the same for another game.

The real question is who should start when Walker is out. Fournier if you want the best player sure. When KG was out Doc would often start Scal. Brad has been starting Semi some times. I think maybe Langfor gets the call though as he's not in the rotation yet and it could keep players minutes and times they play closer to the same.


If Kemba sits, I wouldn't mind seeing Romeo as that 5th starter Stevens is apt to use. Smart has to start against Simmons, and Fournier is looking good off the bench. I'd roll with Smart, Brown, Langford, Tatum, Timelord and offset with Pritchard, Fournier, Grant, Kornet with Nesmith, Wagner and especially Tacko getting some spot minutes. Considering his familiarity with traveling and working with Embid, Tacko needs to up his intensity for this game. I think the lack of practice has hurt him the most, he has to protect the rim.


Romeo is surely on a minutes restriction, so if he starts each half he's not likely to play much otherwise.

Embiid has 40-50lbs on Rob. Time Lord will have his hands full. Shame we don’t have TT to add some beef at center. Our guys are too small.
