Pre-Game Thunder

It's funny but I look at the standings in the East even though we are 8/9 games back.  That's not a lot.  But in our case, it is like looking across the Grand Canyon.  

Looks like Theis had a great game against the Heat last night and gave us an olive branch by beating them, thus putting the Heat and the Knicks who also lost within one game of the loss column for the coveted 4th and 5th seed in the East.  Let's see how we respond to that act of gratitude tonight.  He did an interview after the game.  That's the first time I've heard him speak.  Yep, he's German!  Nice guy.  The grass is always greener after being traded from Boston.  

Any RWIII alerts or is he still out?  Just checking.  Tonight is also the FIGABABA.  After tomorrow, this should even us up for total games played with our classmates racing for 4th so we're not splitting hairs on the GB stat in the standings.  Not getting my hopes up.  Been burned way too many times this season to count.  But let's see what happens.

Currently, if season ended today, we'd draw the Bucks.  Now THAT would be hilarious if we knocked them out in the 1st round, wouldn't it?!!  It's either a 1st or 2nd round exit for them anyway.  Might as well be us as the spoilers.  Looks like they will hold on to 3rd and spoil my earlier prediction.  They are a lighter version of us.  Not as many mood swings but they act like us and will have a exit just like ours only delayed by a round.  

Go Celtics!!

We have to play OKC tonight before we get the Hornets again.

I just saw that, bobh. Don't know what I was looking at. You are correct and I have corrected!! Nice catch. OKC is it and we have BOS-11.5. Now that's a route!!

Robert Williams is out tonight. Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker were ruled out yesterday. Williams was downgraded with left knee soreness


Bob
MY NOTE:  This RWill this is getting a bit concerning.  It's not "rest", he doesn't need to "rest" this much, it's a real swelling of his knee.  I'm sure he'll pull it together for the playoffs but long-term?  Is The Time Lord our long-term center if he struggles to stay on the court?

what is wrong with our training staff and our medical staff?

They cannot seem managed soft tissue injuries.

I was going to call this game the make or break one for the offseason for them. But they are going to be playing again with more than 50% of the starters off...

So not sure what to say... I am almost starting to root for a disgraceful exit in the play in games to stir up the pot and get SOMEONE either fired or traded... Almost, but not quite

Vankisa,

It's coming....
