Celtics (30-25) at Nets (29-24) Game #56 2/8/22

Also, if we start off 1-14 from three again and we continue to shoot them I might lose it lol

If they start something like 0-5 or 0-7, they should abandon the 3 immediately and take it to the hole to find a rhythm and see balls fall through the nets.  That's what Tommy would say.

Agree!

I'll already be losing it if they get to 1-6, never mind another 1-14

Need this win.

If Harden's out tonight then there's really ZERO excuses not to win this

This is a golden opportunity to beat this emasculated team with no KD, no Cryrie and no Beard. Precisely the type of encounter we have muffed in the past. Hopefully the fact that there's no Big 3 on the Nets side doesn't lull our team of clankers into a false sense of security and they take it easy thinking it's an easy win. EXACTLY what has happened in the past with understrength teams we've played!!

This would be a big scalp for us if we can take it, Big 3 or no.

I don't want them to shoot poorly either, but if they do, it will be another good test to see if they can win another game shooting less than .300 (obviously most recently against Orlando) and making sure we make the other team shoot even worse. We've only won 4 of 15 games where we shot below .300 from 3. Good teams learn to win despite their 3 ball not falling. We beat Orlando because they shot even worse at .190 but this team even weakened is a step up in quality even if they are freefalling somewhat.

Go Cs!!!

I don't disagree with any of that.  I want a win and if they do shoot like crap, that they figure out how to minimize that issue while scratching out a win.

Yup…I’m not crying about Nets player issues …..crush the scrubs and don’t look back

Harden officially out tonight, though there were reports that he looked completely healthy and like himself at shootaround. Interesting. Perhaps a trade isn’t as unlikely as they’re making it seem?

I think there’s about a 25% chance of that deal happening.  I also think Harden might have declared himself out tonight, as he’s known to do.

this looks like a sure win. as long as the celtics play great defense and hustle this is another victory and their streak keeps going!!

thanks flc and a tp for your great work.

goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo celtics!! 

[A Future of Stevens]

I am mentally preparing myself for a Blake throwback game. Somebody has to score.

[SHAQATTACK]

I have a scrumptious piece of chocolate cake on the line for this game . 

Go Celtics ….

[letsgoblue86]

Excited for tonight and being able to watch the C’s. Not in the northeast so National games are my best opportunity to watch.

Unfortunately it seems like because of the quality this year we’ve had less games on ABC, TNT, etc.

Also a good opportunity for us to give them a beat down.

It should be an easy one tonight!
