The key to this season is getting the #1 seed!

Haven't been this excited for our team in awhile! TP for thread. Lets see us try and beat some tough teams on the road now!

Oh, by the way, if playoffs were today, it is us vs Nets in round one 😁Super early but funny nonetheless. Home throughout for us would be huge

Miami,  Milwaukee,  and Philly all lost last night.  We've gotta come out strong and try to separate from these other teams.

What exactly is the timezone in San Antonio?  Are they an hour,  or two behind the East coast?  5PM start might be helpful to us if they are two hours back.

This might be the toughest game the Celtics have until traveling to LA to take on the Clippers in 11 days. Could the C's go 12-1 going into that game?

I’d like to get past tonight and Monday vs. the Mavs before looking ahead.  I like our chances in both games, but those are two talented, well-coached teams, and I’d be disappointed but not surprised if we were 6-3 on Tuesday morning.

Replace their salt shakers with MSG.

Curious to see how they matchup. Rebounding will be key here. Aldridge obliterated the Cs last year.

Yes.  And 3 point shooting as I recall. Paddy Mills always plays well against us it seems.

Will be interesting to see Tatum cover Aldridge. He destroyed both Horford and Baynes last season.

[footey]

Jaylen Brown had a strong first half, was kind of quiet 2nd half vs Hornets.  Maybe got fatigued.

I'm hoping the team gives him decent feeds tonight, to get him integrated back into the offensive flow.

Go C’s

[Phantom255x]

Excited for this game. A good measuring stick, being on the road against a great West team.

Even with their stars leaving or retiring, the Spurs and Pop have had our number over the years. Wish we had Kanter as I feel like one of the things that's killed us is the rebounding, especially in crucial moments of the close games we've had with the Spurs. Like Aldridge when he's had those 30/10+ kind of games against us...

Let's go C's! Break tradition and get a win in San Antonio!

[Surferdad]

Pretty psyched to watch a game (tough during the week).

Want a big game from Tatum vs. Aldridge.

[BitterJim]

Well this start is... less than ideal
