As long as IT plays in april against the Bucks when I come to USA I'm fine :D

More seriously, that's ok. He will be rested against Washington. We must be able to win without him against Philly and Brooklyn anyway.

We give Smart some responsibilities also. Enjoy the rest Isaiahn you deserved it

I'm rooting for you to not be disappointed, but that's the last game of the season and seeding could be all wrapped up by then.

Yep, unfortunately the timing of the trip had to be this one. But I try to stay positive, one week later I may have been unable to see a game at all, so there's that ! Maybe I can say I saw the first 30 point game of the future superstar Jaylen Brown ! :p

I like that line of thinking!

Brooklyn has been playing better, and they have no incentive to tank.

This is a true test...perhaps the biggest test this season.  How efficient are we without IT?  It can easily grant the access to view of what may ensue in the playoffs.  Teams WILL make Thomas their primary focus and will shut him down.  They will then count on the other guys on the team to beat them.  If we stay true to us and play defense like we know how to and play smart selfless basketball on the offensive end, we'd go a long way in the playoffs.  Anything outside of that will result in abysmal failure.

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my

They didn't have an incentive to tank earlier in the season either. But since they stink as a team, it did not matter much.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

If we lose we are gonna get swept in the first round and we should fire Danny. If we win let's trade thomas or have him come off the bench since we clearly don't need him. This is a lose-lose  :-\ CB is gonna be such a pain again lol.

They're wayyyy better with Lin. Not so much because of how great he is or anything, but just because of how bad their other options at point were. They basically didn't have a guy who could do anything resembling an NBA offense brining the ball up. It matters.

Honestly I think they're a more dangerous team for the C's than the Sixers minus Embiid, Simmons, Bayless, and god knows who else.

Interesting. We always have excuses. The thing is simple. Without Thomas, this team isn't even a playoff team! There. I said it.
