Ugh. Not looking forward to this one after the Hawks game. The Celtics are on another level. Could be ugly.

[Superbone]

I don't now why they continue to put Okogie on the injury report:

Josh Okogie - AVAILABLE (Nasal Fracture)

I guess technically he's injury although he still plays.

[Superbone]

Ugh, also Jeremy reporting Cam Johnson is out tonight for knee rest.

[Mori Chu]

After the shellacking by the Hawks the other night, and with new trade gossip and rumors all around our team, I'm a little scared about this one. Boston is great at scoring gobs of points, and we tend to let teams run away from us in the first half. This feels like it could end up being one of those games where we're down 27-6 or whatever in the first quarter.

[ShelC]

Agreed, want to see how we come out to start. Could get ugly fast.

[Superbone]

I think we're all on the same page.

[Flagrant Fowl]

We’re gonna get smoked. I’ve already made other plans for the second half.

[Shabazz]

Gross. Just so gross.

[TOO]

Gross. Just so gross.

[TOO]

Really enjoying how well Mikal and Ayton are playing off each other.

[TOO]

Ayton best player on the floor so far. Hope he can keep it going.

I was incorrect. Suns up 24-20 at the end of the 1st.

[Shabazz]

Gross. Just so gross.

This lineup started 0-100000

[Flagrant Fowl]

Ayton playing real defense for the first time in recent memory.

[TOO]

LeeSquared, JockIsh, and Saric is a squad.

[TOO]

See now he's just floating around as a non factor.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Celtics have drawn at least 3 soft fouls on drives. IDK what the defender is supposed to do? Just move out of the way?

[Shabazz]

It will never not drive me crazy when Chris Paul takes the inbound with 6 seconds left in the quarter and walks it up.

[Shabazz]

I’d love to understand why Monty went back to those “starters” in the 3rd. Awful.

[Wally_West]

I’m finally able to tune in and we can only score 3 points so far
