Go C's!

[trickybilly]

Full squad possibly available???

I feel we beat Indy with Smart in there. Philly will be tougher, but certainly not unbeatable. Will be nice to have TimeLord back in there for spurts...

No Smart or TL.
Gordon probable
That’s sucks !!

If Smart and RW3 are both out, why did we send Edwards to Maine tonight? Didn't we have at least one free roster spot for him?

I do not think they planned for him to be in the rotation tonight.

My guess is that given the 76ers super sized lineups they didn't plan to have Carsen on the floor and wanted him to get some burn with the g-league team.

So p---ed we are down Smart. I think we beat them with him, not sure about without. Also stinks we got the old back to back here.

We benefited from the ole' back to back versus Heat/Nuggets.

Just the way the schedule turns.

Al Horford is questionable for tonight’s game (left knee soreness and left hamstring tightness). #Sixers #Celtics

Funny how I view things differently depending on if I like the guy or not, lol.

Kyrie sits out: "Oh he's ducking us, coward."

Horford sits out: "What a classy guy.  Knows his former team is short handed and on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, so he sits out, out of respect for his old team."

I'd bet good money it's because they want to play Langford without having to choose him over Carsen. CBS has a tough time inserting guys if they aren't the best Players returning or if they haven't practiced much. He trusts what he knows! Now, he can insert Langford if there isn't much other choice! Will probably still go with Semi (because of size and defense he'll play regardless) and Green first, but will get Langford out there if "they" don't do well.

Could be that Carsen is tiny but he played g1 against them IIRC.

Eh I guess? We are arguably the biggest rivalry in the east right now. Neither the Heat or Nuggets are in our division (nuggets obviously not in conference). Would hope given how few back to backs there are now they could find a way to not do it before this matchup, but whatever, I agree it happens.

Think this is bad, when the C's play the Sixers next in Philly, that game is also the 2nd of a back-to-back for the C's, but not for the Sixers.

2 of the 3 non-opening night C's/Sixers games are 2nd night of back-to-back for C's, none are for the Sixers.
