Pre-Game ATL & @ BKN - Daily Double B2B!!

Easier to couple these two games together.  I know we will be tempted to look ahead to tomorrow.  Other things equal, our second game against BKN with JB back should add 5 points at least to the betting line.  But it's on the road so take away 2 points.  I'll stab and say BOS (-2.5).  They are still BKN with a shell of his former self Ben Simmons until proven otherwise.  

But first, it's back to Boston to take on ATL in our second matchup with them of the season.  Vegas coming in pretty strong at BOS (-12.5).  I'd have to agree with them there barring anything unforeseen.  It appears Trae Young is out with right Achilles tendonitis.  DOH!  Talk about a potential rudderless ship roaming through Antarctica.  Hope Boston won't let up and can get us back to steamrolling. This might be a very good opportunity to attempt this.  JT is questionable with the child-like Giannis-laden ankle strain.  Al could go either way as this is the first of a B2B.  Take your pick.  I'm guessing Joe will rest JT unless it has completely healed.  It didn't look that bad on the replay, IMHBAO.  This should be a blowout regardless with Trae down.  We have replacement parts.  ATL has none for Trae.  

Best if we follow Joe here with his philosophy of every game is a "T" game.  Everyone will give you their best shot and then total suck the next game they play proving we (BOS) are the target.

Well, I know I shouldn't be looking ahead, but everyone just check your Boston schedules for one week from today. It's a cup game.  First Clash of the Titans.  I'm just sayin'!!
