I'm not optimistic. This could be very ugly.

Were in better shape then the last time we played them and they just lost to the pistons...

I know they had a long winning streak, but alot of it was vs really bad teams. which is still good, since we lost like 10 in a row to bad teams.

I think at the least we wont be down 28-2 in the first

If we go 2-2 next four games, we will be 7 seed for sure, book it. Getting W tonight means we in conversation getting 6th seed.

Reinforcement is coming soon :D

The time off for the all star break could have hopefully broke the Celtics momentum. We are going to need a strong outing from our bench in guys like Cam, Blake and LMA to pull off a win.

Every game from now on matters. Shortening rotations should be in place now.

Only player I want to see on a limited minutes is Patty. He shouldn't play more than 25 min a game.

I don't dislike any of them, but yikes... when that's your starting lineup against the likes of Brown, Tatum, and Smart(!)

Nah, it’s really avoiding any bad injuries or health conditions with our pace. It’s based on in person evaluation.

He’s going through the same 2 week ramp up that Blake Griffin got after sitting out for the Pistons. Drummond needed it and came out and admitted he needed it joining us. Dragic is currently going through it with Simmons.

I don’t think Nets fans remember but the “ramp up” concept got started with Caris LeVert’s debut as a rookie.

Celtics doing a great job neutralizing Drummond on the boards. It's going to be a rough night.

These Brown, Johnson, Drummond lineups aren't basketball. Waste of time.
