I know Brad had to fight with Tatum to keep him out.
I better not see any bucks fans saying our guys are scared because we already proven how good we are after we bitch slapped them on Christmas lol
No Juice, no deuce, still have moose.
I figured we’d sit Malcolm, a sore achilles sounds scary.
I’m excited for every game, but an odds stacked against us Super Hospital Celtics game vs the Bucks?
Oh, I’m wicked excited
Tatum doesn’t get a true All Star break, maybe he is going to sit today and against the pistons to still get a week off lol
BIG P-RABBIT GAME INCOMING
**G** Brogdon
**G** White
**F** Hauser
**F** Horford
**C** Williams
Pritchard, Grant, Muscala off the bench… honestly, I like our chances
Most excited I’ve been for a game in a long time
I’d rather rest al or rob than play them both and rest Tatum
We’re gonna shoot 55 3s and we are gonna like it
knew Grant wasn’t missing a Giannis matchup
guy lives for that
This one will be very interesting 🤣🤣
If necessary Mazzulla and Damon Stoudamire can suit up, right?
Well, likely an L, but will still be fun to watch to see if the Hospital Celtics can pull off the improbable W anyway.
Definitely a bummer to drop this one since we are basically 1 game ahead of them in the standings, but nothing you can do. Plenty of games left to sort it out.
I swear Brad and Joe have nightly bet convos like “Ya, but can you beat them with 3/5 of your starters out?”
I’d love to see JDD get some run against the Bucks and limit Brog’s minutes a bit tonight if he’s still up with the big squad but that’s just the homer in me. I’ll be happy with a mere 6 3’s each from Sam, Moose and Buffalo.
This reminds me of the end of the 2017-18 regular season when we had the playoffs locked up and just rolled out there with the most random lineups. My favorite was this one game (coincidently also in Milwaukee) where Kyrie, Smart, and Rozier were all hurt so we literally played without a point guard. https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201804030MIL.html
Player of the week Derrick Buffalo White is going off
Hospital Celtics?
This is a good game to rest Tatum. I’d also like the team to rest him more for the rest of the season. We need him to not be worn down by the time we hit the playoffs.
If Rob isn’t hurt he needs to play. He looks rusty as fuck.
This is a loss tonight but I’ll take it if that means guys can rest. Honestly I say sit Malcom too nd let JD play.
I like it. Sucks that we couldn’t beat the Suns but we’re 5-1 so far this month.
Brogdon Hauser PP Grant and Muscala 3s every shot
White and the Brothers.
Bench mob
Hospital Celtics are back
What’s our potential starting lineup?
* White
* Brogdon
* Hauser
* Grant
* Al / Rob ?
If Al and/or Rob are both out, maybe Blake Griffin starts? Leaves us with Muscala, PP, and Kanter off the bench.
