Sadly, I don't have a lot of hope for this one. I hope I'm wrong but last night took a lot of energy out of our guys. Again, **** you Silver and your schedule makers!

as long as we play hard the result doesn't matter imo.

but a win would feel pretty nice lol.

but no seriously, at this stage of the season I just want to see how we approach situations and defenses..Boston should be amped to get back one and i want to see how our big 2 approaches it.

IF Biid plays of course lol.

Not optimistic about this one. A win would be a pleasant surprise.

Scheduling rivalry games as the back end of BtB's is idiotic on the part of the league. The regular season is a slog without a lot of juice, and the few games against the Celtics, Bucks, and Heat should be featured games that the NBA treats as such.

No Kristaps Porzingis or J Brown tonight for Celtics.

Tatum shoots 8/26 and they still win

I was more optimistic before the injury report, so I definitely don't vibe with that attitude.

This will be one of those dammed if you do damned if you don't games.
We win , we will hear about them missing two starters.(no one will care about us missing oubre and batum)
We lose, we will hear how the sixers are frauds and the celtics continue to own them.

No Kristaps is actually a bad thing for us

The schedule makers gave Philly a 3 in 4 nights situation with 1&2 being a track meet and 3 being against your rival. Nurse still needs to be stategic with the bench. I think more Reed could be a good idea, even playing with Joel. More Springer, more energy in general

Even without Brown and KP we're going to struggle. It's Boston, they are the best team in the league aside from Denver. They are deep, cohesive, and everyone on that team can play if given a chance.

Yeah it will be a tough win even with those guys out we are still coming off a back to back where we played hard.

I'll take a win, any win, doesn't matter how we receive it.

Don’t let Jrue go off and this should be an easy win. Jaylen Brown is the guy who keeps pace with us until the 4th when Tatum wakes up.

Batum is still out? wow
