Same formula as last time. Play fast against these geriatrics. No more stagnant possessions. Force them to move their feet and foul when they can't. Go Cs.

Baldy, Brow & the nerds are EMINENTLY BEATABLE.
**** get it done & you will irresistibly & inexorably suck me TOTALLY back into my Celtics delusional insanity.
Please Please Please!

JB - I most definitely want your talent back, BUT not your 1 on 3 non-team play, stupid TOS, & intermittently lazy D.
Please follow JT’s recent model!

PS The Departed, The Town & Mystic River were filmed in Boston and are amongst my faves of all time.
Cave, how true to real life Boston were they?

Defend hard and attack on offense.

We are the better team, just hope they do not go Utah on us...

Would be real fun to get this game.

Do: Play fast and move the ball
Don't: Walk the ball up, dribble for 10-12 seconds and go ISO.

Pretty simple.

if it was "pretty simple" why do they NOT DO IT so many times?? Just wondering out loud.

Amongst my 2 biggest hates in BB. Losing to LAL and losing to Lebron...

Had this one circled on my calendar for a bit, my last birthday of my 30's. My soul needs this win.

Will be drinking either way.

Win this and Celtics find themselves in 4th place in the East (where most fans expected them to be this season) with a home-heavy schedule on the horizon.

if you wanna know the difference in defense between the lakers and Celtics in 1 stat; Celtics are 2nd in opponent rim fga attempts, lakers 30th.

Celtics’ switching prevents penetration, lakers invite you to the rim.

Hahaha GSW was my 2nd guess. I couldn't have been more wrong about the Bulls. My impression was because they have aggressive perimeter defenders in Lonzo and Caruso, they've been great at preventing drives. They at least got to be high in forcing TOs.

Bulls are 7th in forcing turnovers. 8th in defense overall.
Lakers so far have tremendously over performed their point differential so far but in the last 2 weeks they’ve gone 3-3 while sporting the 13th offense and 10th ranked defense in that span. Small sample but they’ve played ok recently. I still feel good though unless brown goes completely nuts

So since the turn of the millennium, Cs have only swept the Lakers three times: 2001-02, 2007-08, 2016-17. Three different coaches. Let's make it 4 times with a 4th different coach!

OK I have nothing of any significance to add other than

I HATE LAL and LEBRON that I am already watching the clock slowly tick away...

A day like this I usually get so pumped up, I go look to play some Fool at the Y, only to be reminded my knees are as washed up as laundry..

There is only ONE difference between me and Bird and KG, unfortunately it's talent.. But I spit fire on days like this...

I after tonight's game I will be either so pumped I will be attempting yet another ill advised comeback to my playing career or so damn depressed ....

LET"S **** GO!!!!!!!!

This is asking a lot early in the week after MNF, hoping to get a nap after work and to see some of it. BEAT LA !
