If I was a betting man right now, this is your finals preview tbh.

Boston’s ISO heavy, 3PT attack shot fest is one that could potentially neutralise Wemby for large stretches of the game. Would have loved to see Vucevic healthy for this one, only if to give a semblance to what a playoff battle may entail.

Before we start talking about final with Cs we need to get out of west but I am also very curious how well will we match up tomorrow. Somehow our 3pt defence against good shooting teams is our Achilles foot and biggest weakness maybe except our own 3s. But I am positive that with time we'll improve in both. Give Castle and Dylan 2-3 years max and they should be good enough shooters. Defending 3s is a teams effort so it should be better with time as well. We are young so we can run fast and a lot especially since uncle has been finally benched.

Very annoyed we may end up facing Minny in round 2. Want to avoid minny/Denver in round 2 and hope to get rockets instead. But they’ll probably get bounced in round 1 anyway

Unlike Pistons and Rockets, this isn't a good stylistic matchup. The Celtics have the perfect style of play to take Wemby out of the game on defense by just chucking up 3's in bunches. Our perimeter guys need to overplay the 3 as much as possible and try funnel Celtics into Wemby.

Thinking the same. Definitely will be concerned when Kornet gets into the game and how the Celts attack the middle.

So true. It’s what makes the chuckers in Boston so unbearable to watch.

Nothing matters if we decide to run offense through Wemby in paint. But Mitch will have it for NBA finals if we face them.

Felt like they were very weak in paint. They are monster of a team guarding at 3 point line. Ball movement should be impeccable.

Kornet is still struggling since his return from injury which is a shame

This is a game for Wemby.
Vucevic is out, he needs to kill Queta and Garza.

Let's hope Wemby realizes that.

Vucevic in would be a greater advantage tbh

Wemby need to do a repeat of what he did to the Lakers with no legit bigs

 

[Wemby_Island]

Vow. Its been silent over here.

I am very excited for today’s game. Can’t work

Toughest stretch of the homestand coming up tbh.

Celtics w/ Tatum, a desperate Nuggets team, and a hot Hornets squad. I think we go 2-1 but would be dope to get all 3.

NOT worried about who we play TBH.. We can beat anyone and who knows right now as 3-6 is a log jam..

 

[spursfanfromafar]

Yeah. I agree with those who say this would be a very tough match-up for the Spurs.

Unlike Rockets/ Pistons and even the Thunder.. who are not particularly three point shooting teams.. The Spurs have found it tougher against the Warriors, and Knicks who have some nuclear three point shooting options, and Celtics are a better version of those squads. So it should be a tough match-up. We have Wemby though and he will again be an X factor.

 

[Fireball]

Cmon, don't call our Top 5 player an X-Factor. Our own three point shooting is probably the X-Factor and I feel pretty good about that with the run we are having.

We need to pump the brakes a little bit on the Hornets. They're starting to get overrated.

They've had some bad losses recently but I still think they're a tough matchup considering the shooting they have on the perimeter tbh. I think we get them back on Saturday though.

Queta is underrated. Wemby should still be able to get his, but this isn’t a situation like that Lakers game
