The Celtics really should complain to the league office about this schedule, though. This is such non-sense, and it's all so the NBA can make an extra buck with the London game.

Houston has literally played six fewer games than us, but they give us Houston on national tv on the second night of a back to back.

So I’ve heard this before but haven’t been paying attention.  What’s the London game?  And does this mean that we still won’t get the rest we deserve due to travel?

No, we have pretty much a second All-Star Break surrounding our January 11th game in London against Philadelphia. We literally play one game in 10 days in that stretch, which is the London game.

That's the major reason we've had such a packed schedule in 2017, because they needed to give us a break both before and after the London game for travel reasons.

Nader sends the message with 100% from the field...we got these guys.

Everyone lighten up...please. The Rox score a lot and the Celtics don't.

Hou 47.7%
Celts 38.9%

[Neurotic Guy]

Only lost the quarter by 4.  We can play with these guys right?   Right?  uh....

[Kevins Gamble]

You know in movies when a player is paying off gambling debts by throwing the game...but the movie is obviously made by someone who doesn't understand the sport because the guy is playing too bad to even be believable? 
Totally unrelated...I wouldn't put Morris back on the floor for a while.

Why hasn't Philadelphia's schedule been as gruesome as ours then??

The fact that Tony brothers who's standing 3 feet away called that basket good originally is the epitome of NBA referees..

I do NOT play Morris another minute UNTIL he loses 15 to 20 lbs. and gets in shape.  I do NOT care how injured we are.  We have a roster spot.  Call up the best G-Leaguer and give him a 10-day contract.  Morris cannot jump 4 inches off the ground.  He is HORRENDOUS!!!!

I would trade Marcus and Marcus for an injured Vucevic immediately IF they would do it.  (That is ASSUMING we realize that Smart is as good as gone any way!!).

First 5 minutes of the second half will tell you to turn it off or not.

I agree about Morris.  He doesn't have any lift or quickness right now.  Not sure if it is from injury or being out of shape or both, but he doesn't seem ready to play.

I DESPISE "professionals" that do not keep themselves in shape (see David Lee).
