Rockets game is huge

[Spicoli]

In determining if the C's have what it takes to move up in the standings. Rockets are strong at what the C's are weak at...the hustle game. If the C's come out strong, and make a statement by out-hustling the Rockets for a win, i will be convinced that they will move up in the east standings and win the division. If they come out lackluster and get out-hustled by the Rockets and lose, i will be convinced that they care nothing for the regular season and will finish 7th or 8th in the east.

Does anyone else think tomorrows game is a big test?

the last game against the rockets last season was sad.

Your post could have been written with <insert younger team with winning record here> instead of Rockets and it would be accurate.  Our record (~.500) is that of a team that is good enough to beat the lower tier, but loses to all the better teams.

If your expectation is the C's should get a 4-6th seed then every game for the rest of a the year is a big game.

I dont really see the Rockets game as the turning point of the season, especially coming off 4 straight wins. I definitely dont think its a do or die game, especially against the Rockets.

It's probably not too huge, because even if the Celtics win, they get to hop on a plane and fly to Philly for a back-to-back. It'd be nice to win this game, but it's going to be followed almost certainly by a loss in a more important game.

I'm not sure.  I think the Rockets are a nice team, but not as good as their record indicates.  They're also a bad team on the road.
