Without Haliburton out I wondered why bother watching, the Celtics couldn't screw this up but without KP and Holiday then the game becomes interesting. The Celtics could blow this one. BRISSETT will help, losing Kornet is not a problem then. HAUSER has been a waste. TATUM might have a solid game, hopefully. 8:30. Will Jaylen continue to be hot?

Go Celtics

I think the Celtics match up better with Dallas than Minnesota, I will say that

Dallas is so amazingly athletic, outside of Luka and Kyrie Honestly the work that GM did the last 12 months is unreal, they had limited assets no cap space, and completely changed the entire character of the team in a year

Real question is can Doncic hold up for another 10 games.

They’re a great team, no doubt

I just worry about the timberwolves size

Let’s go Celtics! Hope I’ll be able to watch the game later. Fingers crossed.

Dallas Length is also pretty exceptional. And they don't have that Gobert issue . The one player in the league who has absolutely blown me away this offseason is Derek Lively. He is just everywhere out there.

Based on this past season I'm not so sure. This version of the Celtics seems to have trouble sometimes playing teams missing their big stars - Lakers without LeBron and AD, Miami without Butler, Atlanta without Trae Young ( twice ).

That’s great but we have weather so will need to figure out the secondary station.

They are but they can’t play Lively and Gafford at the same time like the Wolves can play Towns and Gobert. Then McDaniels is a big, long 3

Do you often not have weather ????

Wise ass. lol. Dodged a bullet in my area. Northwest of us has had tomatoes and grapefruit sized hail

no KP/Kornet/Holiday; IND likely doesn't have Haliburton either; Tatum says gm 3 IS the hardest of the 4

Thanks! Hope Holiday feels better soon

 

[pgm16]

Holiday is in

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

32-31 C's after 1 in gm 3 @ Gainbridge Fieldhouse

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Yeah keep leaving Horford wide open for the 3 please.

 

[CDJ]

Not enough defensive intensity

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Not gonna freak out when they lose by like 30.

 

[Shaun]

here we go again

It feels like this team has to score 120 against any good offense the last two playoffs because they can't get stops despite having the personnel



The most points the Celtics ever gave up in the playoffs with Udoka as coach was 118. They have given up 118+ points 9 times in 32 games with Mazzulla and on pace to make it 10 tonight.
