Celtics tonight

[stevenash]

(As of 6pm)
Starting line up

Derrick White
Jaylen Brown
Sam Hauser
Al Horford
Luke Kornet

Holiday, Porzingis, and Tatum are out.
Pritchard is iffy.

They'll still probably cover that 8.5 even with a two man bench.

I'm tuning in for sure, our homeboy Donovan Clingan returns home for the first time, and I bet TD Garden gives him a very well deserved welcome.

Clingan has stepped up big time as the starting center for Portland when Ayton went down probably for the season.
Clingan had an eye popping 17 points and 20 rebound game against Jokic and the Nuggets a couple of weeks ago.
Portland knew exactly what they were doing when they drafted him, back up Ayton, and be ready if Ayton should go down.


Not bad for a really tall white kid out of Bristol Connecticut, and he's one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet.
It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice.

A pick and a life lesson.

Great pick Nasher. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard both put up 40+ points. The first time 2 players scored 40 in Celtics history.

Thanks brother, see you guys in the ECF, may the best team win.

Pretty sure the Blazers don't give a shit about Ayton. They realised their error in trading for him almost immediately... he just doesn't play hard. Played well in January for some reason - maybe thought he could become a trade target - but one month out of twelve is not good.

I like Clingan. Like a bigger Kessler. But the bigger they come the slower the feet. Lakers would do well to trade for either of those two this summer.

The NBA postseason is going to be crazy. Must watch TV. There’s so much parity in the league, there’s going to be some incredible series. Boston is still the clear favorite to me. I think they haven’t cared much about the regular season. Once the playoffs start, I think they will ramp it up another level.

They look better with Ayton sidelined. Something about his game just doesn’t add up to winning basketball to me. Maybe because he spends too much time outside of the paint?
