Question.  Why only 25% crowd tonight? Seems like a disadvantage to me

If Kemba is out, Nets are routing Boston

If Kemba is out, that might actually help the Celtics. Since when does not having a defensive sieve, that provides nothing offensively when you need it, a bad thing?

[johnnygreen]

I have no delusion of the Celtics winning tonight. However, I would like to see a few things. Tatum sticking up for himself, and not backing down from Durant. Stop helping the Nets players off the ground. Show some pride/fight, and make the Nets earn the wins late in the fourth quarter.

I agree.  Then Knicks packed MSG and look....the fans help them pull the victory.

25% is not home court advantage by any stretch.

Because the MA restrictions on capacity are lifted effective tomorrow, not today.

Yep. Though that'll help the Bruins tomorrow night as they start Round 2!

It does kind of suck (the timing of it) but like I really don't think the NBA and MA Government can just coordinate how to do things based on their desires lol. The NBA's already spread out this series pretty well between each game and I don't think the MA government can just move it up a day because of an NBA team.

Anyways I'm pretty excited as me and a few others are planning on going to Game 4 Sunday. Hopefully we're not down 3-0 though by then though that seems likely tbh

It frustrates me how they basically load managed Kemba throughout the season yet just a few games into the postseason it already seems he's hurt or needs more "load management". Like dang... 

But honestly if they lose tonight then just shut him down. Maybe even Timelord and/or Tatum as well.

Whelp we knew this all along , he can’t stay on the court for a series .....so why kept him ....because it’s a feel good thing ...he is a nice dude ....or did he know he was hanging Boston out to dry with that contract .  I for one think Wyc, Danny and the rest were bamboozled , and the most want to look the other way .

I mean to be fair, before signing him Kemba had a stretch of 4 years where he only missed like 6 games. Just our luck that he comes here and starts getting hurt (including what's looking like a chronic knee issue now).
