Honest question: Kyrie and Smart are very likely out for the 1st round, can we advance without them? If we can get Milwaukee - and to a lesser extent, Miami - I like our chances. Washington makes me a little nervous without those guys.
The answer is NO.  We basically would be operating without a PG.  We’d get exposed big time.

Larkin would be back, and we still have Terry. We could take Miami or Milwaukee, probably Washington too.
Somehow forgot about Larkin.  As for terry, he ain’t exactly a playmaker.  He’s a chucker.  When he’s on, great.  When he’s not, look out.

Have our coaches gotten a Tech yet in this game - if not, it's long overdue. Every time I look up, a Celtic attacking the basket is on his ass.

I think that's Brad's one weakness, that he doesn't know when to get that tech like Pop does...

I wanna see Jaylen get a little selfish and demand the ball more with this unit.

No hops so he rushes his shots.

The Raptors bench are a different group at home. They going to be tough in the playoffs thanks to home court.

Go to scorer not really his thing.  He’ll still make a lot of mistakes in that role.

I'm hoping the Celtics can make The Raptors sweat down the stretch here.

Well, say goodbye to the #1 seed

Yeah, but it was always nothing more than an outside chance anyway.  We just don't have enough healthy bodies right now.

At this point it's better to just rest up for the playoffs.  We're locked into the #2 seed now, so staying healthy is all that matters.

It'd be awesome if Kyrie could somehow be available for the 1sr round, but yesterday's report seemed to suggest he's looking at closer to the later half of the initial 3-6 week time frame for a return.

It'll be tough to get by whoever we face (WAS/MIL/MIA), but it can be done.  Horford is going to need to play like he did in the playoffs last year, and we're going to need 'good' Terry, not whatever that was we saw tonight from him.

Its not in his gene. Reason why im willing to give him up for AD. One minute he plays like Butler.. The next he is as passive as Jeff Green.

I had to turn the sound off - Doris Burke is the worst in the business. She shouts into the mic.

The only reason she is on air is ESPN and all their politics - whenever it's an espn game, I know I am in danger of her being on air. I have to laugh at these awards she receives only because she is a woman in a man's business.
