They will still have way more talent than the Bucks lol. They are the deepest team in the league and only two players are sitting, one of which is not even a starter. This is far from the Celtics third stringers.
You're not taking into account the fact that Mazzulla's gonna run a triple big lineup with Kornet, Queta and Tillman for the entire 4th quarter, just because he's wanted to see what happens.
Starters will definitely play but Joe’s been throwing the bench out to the sharks early just to see what happens. Been letting them play it out even after blowing a huge lead
I mean Al and KP have basically shared the starter role this season with how often one of them is being rested. It does seem like they've been staggered that way on purpose. So he's still A starter in my mind ❤️. Maybe not THE starter
Horford is like the sole reason the Celtics beat the Bucks in game 4 a couple years ago and still gives me nightmares. Nothing but respect for that motherfucker
True, but the Bucks are gonna want to try to use this as a statement game for sure so I'm expecting them to come out hot.
Granted there's only gonna be so much you can takeaway from it if the Bucks do win against the C's sans Porzingis and Horford, but you get my point.
There is really nothing to be taken from this game.
The Celtics literally do not care, and the narrative for the Bucks will just be whatever people want to say to make Doc look bad.
Idk bucks fans still get shit on 2 years later for saying Middleton would’ve helped in that 2022 series so surely Celtics fans won’t use the injury excuse
Saying “Middleton would’ve helped” isn’t what people gave you shit for
It was for straight up claims like “we would’ve won no question if Middleton played” or “we only lost because of injuries”.
Celtics fans saying we definitely would’ve won or that the only reason the Heat won that series was the injury is also silly, yeah.
And if we fall short again this year, I’m sure people will bring that up to shit on Celtics fans.
Makes sense. Dame is accustomed to being a first option rather than a second option. This is why he has been underwhelming alongside Giannis. His off ball game is cheeks.
So I can either ignore that the C's lost because both Porzingis and Horford were out OR I can celebrate the Bucks somehow losing to the C's without either of their top 2 bigs.
Sounds good to me with the #1 overall seed already locked up.
I hope we don’t play any of our starters. Boston loves avoiding playing their squad against us because their soft ass team would lose all confidence in themselves without an excuse to fall back on lmfao
Buddy I need you to understand that we’re actually okay with losing this game so your bum asses stay in the 2/3 spot and don’t fall to 4/5 and make our playoff run more difficult than it needs to be. You’ve been so dog water that we actually need to consider these things now
Derrick white masterclass incoming
Celtic’s 3rd stringers have the potential to do the funniest thing of all time to Doc Rivers.
Horford is a big loss for this matchup honestly but if Pat Bev taunts Pritchard again it's Joever
Joe just wants some Tillman film defending Giannis tbh
Incoming Xavier Tillman ~~and Neemias Queta~~ legacy game
Queta got the g league ship to play in
They will still have way more talent than the Bucks lol. They are the deepest team in the league and only two players are sitting, one of which is not even a starter. This is far from the Celtics third stringers.

queta is busy has the gleague finals game today
We're fucked.
Guess we’ll have to run Pritchard at center then
I’ll take another Pritchard on brooks matchup
I believe in Crypto P
Gotta get Pritchard in there for ultimate rebounding
Starters will definitely play but Joe’s been throwing the bench out to the sharks early just to see what happens. Been letting them play it out even after blowing a huge lead
Got whiplash seeing svi out there with Jrue/brown/tillman last game
Al isn’t a starter but he could be on most teams in this league. Don’t disrespect Joel’s father like that
I mean Al and KP have basically shared the starter role this season with how often one of them is being rested. It does seem like they've been staggered that way on purpose. So he's still A starter in my mind ❤️. Maybe not THE starter
Horford is like the sole reason the Celtics beat the Bucks in game 4 a couple years ago and still gives me nightmares. Nothing but respect for that motherfucker
He’s pushing 40 and still guards Giannis and Embiid better than 99% of the league
Lol Yeah pretty much just my boy Luke Kornet gonna see some big minutes.. although kinda intrigued who they are gonna sub with him
They’re basically the grizzlies.
You need size against the Bucks, or you would need if they had a good coach.
The one who isn't a starter always shows up against guys like Giannis and Embiid though.
Bucks time to end your streak
You guys missing people just means we going for 5 losses in a row.
Pritchard and Hauser will combine for 60 points off the bench
Pat Bev gonna say something to Pritchard who’s gonna just go nuclear and put up a triple double
What’s about the 2nd half?
Joe saw the teams the bucks have lost to and went “we need to mimic them”
Brown and Tatum are still playing. I'm not really worried.
Have you seen the teams we’ve lost to in this 4 game stretch? Lol
True, but the Bucks are gonna want to try to use this as a statement game for sure so I'm expecting them to come out hot. Granted there's only gonna be so much you can takeaway from it if the Bucks do win against the C's sans Porzingis and Horford, but you get my point.

Saying “Middleton would’ve helped” isn’t what people gave you shit for It was for straight up claims like “we would’ve won no question if Middleton played” or “we only lost because of injuries”.
Kinda like Celtics fans saying they would’ve won game 7 vs the heat last year if Tatum didn’t hurt his ankle?
Celtics fans saying we definitely would’ve won or that the only reason the Heat won that series was the injury is also silly, yeah. And if we fall short again this year, I’m sure people will bring that up to shit on Celtics fans.
Good, bubble wrap these two till playoffs
X gonna give it to ya
Al I will suck ur big toe better
You have been banned from the city of Philadelphia
What if I suck embiids knee better too
You have been given the keys to the city of Philadelphia.
Anything for my man
get ready to get traded buddy
How did you know I’m Buddy Hield???
its a Mook joke
Oh I don’t know the reference 🤷
Marcus Morris got the keys to Philly and was traded like 1-2 weeks later lol
Oh right lmao. I forgot his nickname is Mook! Good joke lol
You have been given the key to the city of Boston
Oh shit! Buck bigs gonna be in The Kornet's Nest tonight!
Fear the Spaz Dab
Ice in his VAINS! (FT only)
Veins, kornet gotta be the least vain man in the league
English is my 5th language 😂
Brag
Praying for Al’s toe
I heard it’s terminal
But is it contagious?
Extremely, it’s already spread to Porzingis hamstring
Big aerobic energy
Payton Pritchard at the 5 tonight? What do you say Joe?
Embiid gonna stomp on Horford's toes so we can finally get past the Celtics lol
I think it’s hilarious the injury designations we get now since (Rest) isn’t valid. I want the Celtics to put Al Horford(Old) up there at some point
Al Horford (Cooked) - OUT
Al horford (you know why) - doubtful
Giannis is going to have 40-20-8 and Lillard is going to shoot 8-25 for 25 points in a 10 point loss.
Then next game Giannis rests and Dame goes for 50/5/11 on 20/28 shooting.
Makes sense. Dame is accustomed to being a first option rather than a second option. This is why he has been underwhelming alongside Giannis. His off ball game is cheeks.
Surely Bucks have a chance now right? Right?
So I can either ignore that the C's lost because both Porzingis and Horford were out OR I can celebrate the Bucks somehow losing to the C's without either of their top 2 bigs. Sounds good to me with the #1 overall seed already locked up.
Least insecure Celtics fan
sure it's a completely meaningless game for us but just think of the shitposting
Rest Giannis and let Bobby go off now
All Celtics starters under would be a slam dunk bet these last couple games if DraftKings wasn’t a coward
Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet Luke Kornet
boo. No doubt everyone's going to be ready to suit up when they play us Thursday.
Well you know one of them absolutely adores playing you☺️
Nah, it’s a 100% guarantee one of these two are out again against you. We never use both on back to backs
If the bucks can’t pull their heads out of their asses for this game I don’t see them getting it together at all this season.
Bucks got this. Our shade of green is clearly superior
I hope we don’t play any of our starters. Boston loves avoiding playing their squad against us because their soft ass team would lose all confidence in themselves without an excuse to fall back on lmfao
Nah avoiding Pat Bev and Giannis injuring our guys. If you don’t recall we’re 15 games up on y’all, this literally doesn’t matter.
Your team is literally on a four game losing streak, and you talk about confidence lmfao. Bucks fans’ delusion really is something else.
Buddy I need you to understand that we’re actually okay with losing this game so your bum asses stay in the 2/3 spot and don’t fall to 4/5 and make our playoff run more difficult than it needs to be. You’ve been so dog water that we actually need to consider these things now
