Quote from: Vermont Green on November 14, 2022, 07:42:22 AMCeltics favored by 11 points. Over/under is 229.5 OKC put up 145 pts against the NYK as part of a 280 point total. If Brogdon is still out (I think he is) that is going to cut down on our scoring some, even against OKC. It will probably still go over. There will likely be garbage time so that can make covering the spread unpredictable.As an aside, how does a Tom Thibodeau coached team give up 145 points? OKC shot 62.5% with 54.8% from 3? OKC scored 43 in both the second and the third quarters. Scoring seems to be up in the NBA this season but wow.The DET game was kind of scratchy with no Brown, Horford, Brogdon. Need to keep the killer instinct. No trying to off the backboard alley-oop passes (Marcus, I am talking to you). Just take care of business. Keep the execution tight.Knicks’ D seemed pretty bad against us, too. Ranked 24th in the league right now. https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/defense?dir=A&sort=DEF_RATING

Thought with Brown and Al back they might rest Tatum .

This is a banana skin game for the Cs. It’s a low rated opponent and the temptation will be there to not take them seriously. I hope the Cs treat the, with the respect due any NBA opponent.Personally looking forward to watching this Giddey kid go up against us.
