Start Smart, White, PP, Grant and Theis. Play Nesmith, Hauser and the Green Kornet and others.

We can't change our schemes so late in the season so I'm thinking we'll need Theis to do his best Rob impression for the rest of the year. He's not Rob but no one is, and hopefully he can be like a 75+% facsimile. Go Daniel.

Look like smart and the bench is what we rolling with. Good opportunity for Theis, Hauser and nesmith to get some run.

Wish we rested Smart as well, he deserves a break too when he’s playing with 100% effort every game.

First seed is just about gone for the season. Hoping a decent first round draw.

As a GB user I can't wait for Raps fans' victory lap after they beat the third unit of the #1 team in the East.

And of course that "Celtics are now 1st in the East" thread will be ten times stupider when we lose the #1 seed 24 hours after it was posted.

I'm friggin grumpy lol.

We’re likely looking at the 4 seed now with our strength of schedule down the stretch here without Rob. Best case scenario is we get the bulls in round one and somehow get Rob back for round two against Milwaukee or Philly

Raps fan here. Don't worry, I come in hatred.

Keeping out all your top players is serious 4D chess as the Raptors can't beat bad teams... only good teams. (tips hat)

Sorry to hear about Robert Williams. That really sucks. I wouldn’t write of the Celtics chances though and I really think Grant Williams and Theis are going to fill in well. Especially Grant Williams

As a Celtics fan, wouldn't you prefer to play the Bulls/Raps/Cavs rather than having to play the Nets?

It makes sense why the Celtics are giving this game away.

Raptors wouldn't stand a chance against a healthy Celtics even on back to back

I didn't care who we played until Rob went down. Now I'm just grumpy and haven't really processed things yet.

We're not giving this game away to tank and manipulate matchups imo. We were already without Rob and Horford so it just makes sense to rest guys today since it's a back to back and we had no starting frontcourt anyway.

Easy win right here. Hopefully this third rate franchise can maintain proper operations of their arena tonight. :oops:
