This would be a big win.

We gotta play differently than our previous Celtics games. We absolutely know they’re going to either pack the paint directly or play zone. Less paint turnovers and better shooting are key. Ivey will be important, as will Cade’s wrist. Obviously DR as well. Might see Chaz minutes, too.

I hate the Celtics. A lot. If we win by 40 I’ll be disappointed it wasn’t 42 :lol:

As the resident pessimist here, this concerns me for the playoffs. When teams have time to scheme they can better take advantage of our lack of three point shooting.

Knicks down by 27 against Dallas... It's not over, but a Knicks and Celtics loss would be so great.

Knicks’ defense is a complete disaster. Teams keep hiring Mike Brown. He must give fantastic job interviews with creative ideas, but the implementation is just not there.

They had everyone today. Just couldn’t shoot. But the defense is the real issue. Thibs is laughing his ass off at home.

Can’t watch this one. Slow start, I see. Good luck, fellas,

This should simply be a tech on Brown but we’ll see what they say

Yeah, it should, but there's no way they give Brown a T and not Stew a T.

Refs are so great they forget the names of who gets the T.
No reason their reviews take so long... Herky Jerky games.

LeVert just needs to go away man. I can’t take it anymore.

Pistons won't win if they keep jacking up 3's... Go inside. Mid-range. Foul out their guys.

Don't they know what made them the best team in the East?

LordRiley · Post #14 » by **LordRiley** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 1:45 am

Chuck LeVert chucks again.

If we can play them even in Brown's minutes, we should win. We are the deeper team.

MotownMadness · Post #16 » by **MotownMadness** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 1:46 am

LeVert is terrible

BadMofoPimp · Post #17 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 1:58 am

That was no foul! Legit master block by Cade. Stew rubbing off on the guys.

MotownMadness · Post #18 » by **MotownMadness** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 2:03 am

That was a nice sequence from Ausar

BadMofoPimp · Post #19 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 2:14 am

Cade is becoming Wallace Catlike out there on Defense. Could he someday win MVP and Defensive Player of the year like Jordan someday?

Duncan earned that 3.
