Keep up excellent play of late.
GH - keep awesomely aggressing like you have been.
JT & Kemba - play like the All Stars you are.
JB - play like the All Star you almost were.
Marcus - play Cobra D & shoot wide open 3s.
Hope Enes gets back.

Cherish each possession.
Minimize TOs.

BEAT these 18 loss mother **** into the ground.
BIG GAME!

If Embiid puts Theis in foul trouble early, then it's Poirier and Grant Williams vs the big guy. That's not optimal.

Tacko will probably be activated if Kanter can't go.

Big game on Saturday. Celtics can go up 4 games in the loss column on Philly. Home court against a potential Philly playoff matchup could be huge considering Philly is so awful on the road.

I don't want to overreact but suggest that we pin all of our hopes for this season on this one game and react accordingly

Also the Sixers are going to be completely desperate coming in considering they just lost to the Hawks, and a loss here really buries them in the 6 seed for the time being.

Biggest problem the last few games is for whatever reason our wings can't do sh*t against these guys.

The Jays and Gordon have to step it up!!

Not only do they need to win, they need to win convincingly. We need to show them that at relatively full health and not coming off a back to back, this is what they can expect if we meet in the playoffs. One kick ass win now, negates three questionable losses earlier.

At this point, you kind of have to assume they are resting guys. It has been almost comical the way injuries to a different key guy has popped up for basically every game.

I do not think so.

Regardless, all possible hands should be available for this game.

Let's whip their butts the way we did the Lakers, and when they fire Brett Brown we can pick him up as another assistant for Stevens to replace Larranaga when Jay gets the inevitable head coaching offer.
