Unreal! Luckily we should still have enough to beat the Hawks at home. I could see this being a game very similar to the Magic game the other day. Close through 3 with the C's pulling away late.

We need a win tonight, as our next three games before the break are @OKC, @Smallball Houston, and the Clippers. Wouldn't surprise me if we went 1-2 in that stretch, so a win tonight is big.

Going to be very tough with 60% of the starting lineup hurt and Kemba on a minutes restriction. Maybe Tatum has a Herculean effort.

Tatum going for 35+ tonight. You heard it here first 

We might need 50 from him tonight to win.  Kemba and Smart are both not 100%...Brown, Hayward, Theis all out...ugggg
Anyone know what is the matter those 3?  Brown looked like he tweaked his ankle at the end of the last game, but what about Gordon and Daniel?

I would, at this point, be a okay with releasing Tacko if it stops the incredibly stupid, insulting, disrespectful, immature, ill timed "We want Tacko!" chants.

I would like to see how Tacko deals with Capela.

Capela is injured. Tacko won't be dealing with Capela any time soon, if ever.

I also found them very stupid from very beginning of the season.
The people chanting those are probably a bunch of high, semi drunk spoiled brat boys that yell that and don’t care about the game at all.

It is too bad that the Tacko thing is so perverse. While I would love the chants to die, he genuinely seems like a great person. Even if he never sees legit minutes, having the Jays finish over him in practice can't possibly hurt their development.

Seriously. Disrespectful to him and the Celtics players. Can happen while the guys on the floor are really playing great, entertaining basketball. Why not enjoy that? Hopefully one day he’s a legit player and can be treated that way by the crowd.

Another start for Romeo, along with Grant?

We will need one or both of these guys to step up with Gordon and Jaylen out.

[Surferdad]

Hawks defense seriously befuddled.

[tstorey_97]

New tactic just hit all threes....

Grant Williams sooopah stah

[rondofan1255]

Trae isn't playing either so

Trae isn't playing either so

Which is more significant for them than anyone we lose. He and Collins are the only two reliable offensive weapons for them. We have seemingly infinite.

Tatum continuing his hot spell

[tstorey_97]

I guess this "Hawks lead league in turnovers" isn't an unsubstantiated rumor.

[gouki88]

Tatum looking very KD-esque!
