going to be a tough game for the C's but I think a win hinges on the performance of the C's bench.  a good game from them and the C's should win -- particularly if Smart/Rozier can slow down Westbrook somewhat

Celts win tonight

OKC cant handle Celts bench

Smart, Rozier, Byanes and even Semi have been amazing

Smart loves playing in OKC.  His career line is 20.7/7.7/5.3, shooting 56.4% from the field, and 52.3% from 3.  If that version of Smart shows up again, this is an easy win given how well the team is playing.

So excited for tonight! The game before with Cleveland at Washington will be good, too, especially given Cleveland's likelihood of losing given their current slide.

Wizards are in a bad mood about Suns loss,  they are at home and Morris back for them .Team Lebron looking to hush the critics .   This game has the makings of one of the best of the new season. 

Go Celtics !

The best team the young guns have played to date so far. Should be a good game. If the C’s bench can play well they can get it done. Would love to be at this one but can’t.

OKC has no bench. If we can "contain and limit" OKC big 3 we have a shot.

yes....I see Theis and Semi playing a huge role if this team is gonna win .  Both teams with a finisher , could be nail biter with winning shot with a sec or less on the clock.     Look for,th last minutes to be a one on one game.  ....Westbrook vs Uncle Drew ......show down at the OKC corral.

It's funny, Theis has pretty much flourished in all of the minutes he's been given except for the one start. The guy has been solid.  He and Baynes have complemented each other well for the center minutes.  Amazing to see Semi develop a little role for himself too.

Guys are definitely making the most of the gaping hole created by Hayward's injury.

Hopefully Tatum can continue to grow in those second unit minutes.
Yup

In the SAC game, Theis did most of his damage against their backup C, Kosta Koufos.  I like Theis coming off the bench in his 1st season.
