Celtics (5-1) at Rockets (6-1) Game #7 11/2/26

[Silas]

I am worried about this game.  Go Celtics!

Don't worry, be happy.  Go Celtics!

As expected, Paul Geroge will sit, Mitchell Robinson returns for the Celtics on the back-to-back tonight.
That means Jayson Tatum will play both halves of the first two back-to-backs.
The Celtics, remarkably, have five BTBs in November (then 8 the rest of the way).

No Paul George, so this game gotta be ugly

[Vermont Green]

I was looking forward to seeing him (Paul George) play in this one.  It was a chance for him at age 36 to play matched up with an older player, Durant at 38.  He won't get that many chances for that.

As to skipping this game or the ORL game, this one is game-flight-game.  I think the travel makes this HOU game a little more taxing.  It doesn't really matter.  We had a tough time with BKN on a back to back at home.  The whole team will be more tired and potentially more flat.  PG or not may not make that much difference.
