Great stuff, thanks !

I hadn't realized while watching the game how bad the Wizards' effort was (Wall standing in the corner with his hands on his hips is crazy).

Like Lowe points out, if we get outrebounded but don't turn the ball over too much we can win tonight. I just hope AB and Crowder keep making their open shots, that remains our best chance.

Not sure if it's cause or effect, but Avery and Crowder playing well on offense seems to be the best bellweather for how the team is going to do.

When AB and Crowder are playing like above average starting wings on offense, it becomes very difficult to stop the Celts with Isaiah and Horford also on the floor.

On the other hand, if AB and Crowder can't get their jumpers to fall, the other team has a very easy time defending the IT / Horford P&R because there really isn't anybody on the floor other than Isaiah who can get to the rim and create shots in tight spaces.

I've been thinking about the same thing.  TP for articulating it.

This article seemed to make me a lot more comfortable the Celtics can close out tonight.

Hey, for guys complaining about time difference, i'm being deployed in Afganistan for 2+ months right now and the game starts at 04:30 over here.

Don't worry about hijacking a thread, you da man. Stay safe. If there is anything we can get you, the PM button is in the top right.

TP for sharing the article. Fingers crossed for tonight (2 am in Spain).

I'm on vacation in Gibralter for the next week or so. I was wondering how the whole timezone difference worked out. 2 AM is too early for me with a wedding tomorrow. Hopefully, the C's can pull it off and I can wake up to some good news.

So skip the wedding.

If it's your wedding and she really loves you, she'll be willing to delay it a few hours.

You guys think you have it bad, I'm on Central Time. Games start at 7 PM, which is barely enough time to get my kid to bed, get the steaks prepped and get a beer in me before tip off. Forget having time to press my evening smoking jacket.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
