Notes
If you look at the heights of the players on both teams, you can see that the Celtics have a height advantage at every position except center. This game has big implications for the draft. If we win, the Bucks would be 2 games behind us for the second worst record with 3 games remaining. If we lose, we clinch the worst record with this game. We are at a distinct disadvantage in that we have only 7 mostly healthy players left with one kind of iffy player (either West or Telfair) to make the league minimum of 8 players. Even if we play well in the first three quarters as we have in the past two games, chances are that we may end up running out of gas again. But don't underestimate the desire of the Bucks to tank, either.
