Trail Blazers (35-28) at Celtics (34-30) Game #65 5/2/21

Jaylen rarely has two bad games in a row, so I'm predicting a big 30+ point game from him tonight.

at this moment, Tatum has a chance to put up back to back 60 point games.

I am not sure I like starting Fournier.  I think the best thing to do is have him play exactly how you plan to play him once we have Walker back, and I suspect that is off the bench.  It is not a big deal to me, I just feel the guy is struggling some to get used to playing with this team.  It seems it would be easier if he could focus more narrowly on his expected role.

And I wonder if we will see more of Parker.  He played 12-16 min for 5 straight games, then 5 min for OKC and 0 min for SAS.  Ojeleye and Kornet did not play against SAS either (GWill only 9 min so hardly played) so it must have been a match up thing but again, seems to be worth something to get these new guys used to their roles.  I wonder if they have decided to shelve him until next season.  Can't see why that would make sense.

Jaylen Brown (right ankle sprain) - QUESTIONABLE

There was a tweet that almost nailed my expectations of tonight. It read something like "They will win or lose by less than 30 points!"

My thinking is that it's either that, or they don't.

Let's go Celtics!

Let's go C's! Hopefully another showing like the second half of Friday night, and less of the first half effort.

JT for 82

Nurkic's hair gets redder and redder every time I see him

[slamtheking]

offense and defense struggling a bit tonight. 

[slamtheking]

a 28 footer early in the shot clock deserves an ear full of expletives for Jaylen

[slamtheking]

Fournier off to a good start tonight is very pleasant surprise

[jpotter33]

Ugly offense to start.

[gouki88]

Our defence is asleep

[Kiorrik]

Missed the start - so far, business as usual it seems :')

C'mon C's. Step on the gas already!
