Rockets (19-18) at Celtics (29-9) Game #39 1/13/24

[SHAQATTACK]

19-0....yea baby!

Is that Celtics home win record?

[Silas]

I think Pritchard will be traded. He just plays so well that I don't think he gets enough minutes and there has to be teams that covet a player like PP.

I hope you are wrong, I really think this team needs him off the bench.

Ya the c's need him, he's their 8th man. He already got his extension so it's not like he needs the playing to get his money.

We've got him locked up on a sub-MLE contract.  There's no need to trade him.

I like the result of this game a lot more than the last one.
Our bench seems to have played well.

I didn't see what happened to Tatum, did he get ejected?

Yeah he got ejected arguing with the refs after he clearly got hacked on a dunk attempt.  They missed other fouls against him on the previous plays too.

I'm glad he showed the refs up.  They were terrible this game.

They seem to be terrible every game. The NBA really needs to do something.

Why would the NBA do something? They're getting exactly what they want from their refs.

If I understand it correctly, it’s the best start at home. But it’s not the longest streak which I assume belongs to the 86 Celtics who went 40-1 overall at home in the regular season.


Edit: So the longest home winning streak by the Celtics is at 38 games which they did from the 85-86 season to the 86-87 season. We’re halfway there!

Tatum should've just given him the finger as he was getting tossed

People forget how great that 86 Celtics team was. They weren't playing against plumbers either. They were playing against a ton of elite guys like Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Patrick Ewing, Dr. J, Charles Barkley, Moses Malone, Kareem, etc.

Plus his contract has a poison pill in it so his outgoing trade value is $7m not $4m…though that won’t be the case next year

Nobody said there was a "need" to trade him but if the Celts are in the trade market then he is a highly coveted piece to offer. Usually, you need to trade something to get something unless yiou are the Lakers. I do NOT want Pritchard traded but he seems the most likely player available that teams would want. I would prefer that Bard could pick up a piece for next to nothing.

Missed the game yesterday. C’s scored 145 points in regulation! How did that happen? Thought Ime was supposed to be some sort of defensive wizard.
