Thunder (52-23) at Celtics (59-16) Game #76 4/3/24

[Vermont Green]

With the news of both SGA and Williams being out, you might as well let JB sit again and rest up that hand some more.

I don't know, I am starting to get concerned that the starting unit has not had enough time to play together lately.  I see a benefit in having the unit out there.  If Brown really needs rest, of course rest him.  But at this point, I would rather see everyone who can play actually play.

In the last 12 games, the starting 5 have only played as a a group in 2 of those games, and only for a total of 42 minutes.  I suspect that is probably the case for most if not all the top team but I think it should be a consideration.

[Edit:  I figured out how to check this.  It appears that no team has fewer than 2 games with their starters over the last 13 games.]

Let’s clinch best record!!!

so, if we win tonight does that clinch it? and we then put everyone in bubble wrap for the playoffs?

I need just a few more games of JT, JB and Kp playing to win my Fantasy Basketball league. Just let them finish the week and then next week they can sit.

This already screwed me last week.

I want to see Boston get into a nice groove tonight.

I have been able to navigate the sitting of those 3 the past few weeks but now I need them.

GAME TIME!!!

[Surferdad]

Looking forward to seeing Chet and how KP handles him. 

[Silas]

Two top 3pt shooting teams going at it tonight. 
OKC..39%  Cs..38.9%

[jpotter33]

Let's go C's!

No let downs with the injuries, please!

[jpotter33]

KP simply has to do a better job of boxing out. That's an inexcusable offensive rebound to give up there, all because he didn't box out Chet on the perimeter. That's a big reason why we've struggled with giving up offensive boards lately.

[celticinorlando]

Defense slow getting back

[Phantom255x]

How do I know these are the 'dog days" of basketball. I completely forgot the C's had a game today lol. For some reason I thought it was tomorrow, and that Friday's game was on Saturday. AARGH

[jpotter33]

Giddey has cooked Brown twice already.

Very evenly matched so far!
