Game Notes

The Celtics take on divisional rival Brooklyn Nets.  Both teams have a new look since the Celtics swept the series last season.  The Nets are in 2nd place in the division, half a game ahead of the Celtics. 

The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games, having beaten at home against the Jazz on Wednesday night.  This is also the 2nd of 4 games in 5 nights.  The Nets have been off since Tuesday night.  The second unit came through for the Celtics vs the Jazz, allowing Doc to limit the starter's minutes.

 However, Rondo rolled his ankle in the 3rd quarter and is listed as day to day.  I'm leaving him in the starting lineup because I don't know what lineup Doc will start if Rondo can't go.  It's hard to tell what lineup he'll start anyway, let alone if Rondo can't go.  So, I'm leaving the same starters as we had in the past 3 wins.  If I get any new info either way, I'll add it to the game thread. 

These two teams split a pair of preseason games with the Nets winning  97-96 at the Garden and the Celtics winning 115-85 in their very first ever trip to the Barclays Center.  The Nets are 3-1 at home while the Celtics are 3-1 on the road.  Both teams have won 3 in a row and at the end of the night, one team will have a 4 game win streak.  Hopefully it will be the Celtics. 

Key Matchups
(http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/basketball/nba/players/4149.jpg)  vs  (http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/basketball/nba/players/3929.jpg)
Rajon Rondo vs Deron Williams
Rondo loves playing against the other top PG's in the league. He also loves national TV games.   Expect a big game from him as this game has both and he'll be at his best. 

(http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/basketball/nba/players/3333.jpg)  vs  (http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/basketball/nba/players/3520.jpg)
Jason Terry vs Joe Johnson
Jason Terry has been praised by Doc for his defense this season and he's going to have to play defense as he faces Joe Johnson, who is capable of putting points on the board in a hurry.  On the other side, Johnson hasn't been a lock down defender and Jet should be able to get his points. 

Honorable Mention
Kevin Garnett vs Brook Lopez
Lopez has been playing very well, averaging 17.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.  This might be a good game for the Celtics to give some minutes to Darko or Jason Collins to defend and wear down Lopez a bit. 

Keys to the Game

Defense - The Celtics need to continue to tighten up their defense, especially in transition and on the pick and roll.  It is their defense that is going to set them apart from the rest of the league. 

Bench Play - The Celtics need their reserves to continue to find their chemistry and to produce.  The Celtics starters can't carry the team and still be fresh at the end of the game. 

Rebound - The Celtics need to crash the boards in order to limit New Jersey's fast break points and second chance points.  When they put out the effort to win the battle of the boards, that often translates to the rest of their game. 

X-Factor
Back to Back
The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games on the road.  So far they are 2-0 in that situation, but in the past, they have struggled in the second of back to back games, especially on the road.  Hopefully they can continue this season's success in this game.

Doc will put Terry on Bogans and Pierce on Joe Johnson, though I'm sure cross matches will happen.

Nets are a tough match up for the C's with Terry starting if they can put a legit SF threat that Pierce has to check. If they could do that then I'd say Doc should be quick to go back to Green/Pierce at the wings but with Wallace out that's not an issue.

We'll see how the C's defense holds up against a challenging Nets squad that's playing better a few games into the season than at first.

Barbosa?

Post by: csfansince60s on November 15, 2012, 11:21:27 AM
I think our starting line-up tonight should be Barbosa/Green/Pierce/Bass/KG. Barbosa is more than quick enough to cover Wms, put Green on Johnson and Pierce on Bogans. I like those matchups.

I don't think that Sullinger against Humphries would be that bad of a matchup for us either.

Doc has stated that when they don't have a quick shooting guard he likes the match ups created by Pierce and Green on the wings.  If Bogans start, this would be a great opportunity to start Green and Pierce.  I fully expect Rondo to play even not at 100%.  The new Brooklyn arena, with the "opera" lighting, and a top point guard, was designed for Rondo to dominate for many, many years.

I think Deron manhandles Barbosa. He's a deceptively strong PG, and we're going to need Rondo or Lee to keep him (relatively) contained.

I also expect Rondo to play, unless he's strapped to the bench by the team doctors.

Yeah Doc should make Pierce or Barbosa play the point. Terry shouldn't play the point, since he's not used to driving the ball

Off course we will miss Rondo. He is our best defender for Deron Williams (except from Bradley) and stats for this season show that our offense comes to almost a halt when he is not on the floor. The 2nd half last night being the exception, mostly because Utah's guards aren't that good defenders.

We seem to be having trouble at the outset with the match ups. Perhaps not having Rondo available is hurting us. More likely it is turnovers and our lack of size that is slowing us down. Not out of it but winning prospects are not that great.

We were playing Green at the 4 with Humphries and Lopez in there for example. Then you start Terry with Barbosa instead of using Lee, particularly when Brooklyn has size at the guard positions, etc., etc.

Sully needs to really crash the boards when he's out there

I totally agree, Sully should help on the offensive boards. He's the slowest guy on the court, not like him running back on defense would help

J Collins has had his shot now, I think it is time for some Darko.  We are just getting killed inside.  Need some size in there.  Collins looks smaller than I remember him.

It would help if we just stuck our butt into the offensive guy and really truly blocked out.  clear some space, occupy that space and go get the rebound.  man it isn't rocket science.

We git a real rebounding defeciency. We can't get enough strength and hops to rebound effectively. Also we have been slow to the shooters at times. Basically it is offense keeping us below a ten point deficit. This will be a loss if things dont turnaround in the second half.

We know we're not going to get many offensive rebounds in a game.  But there is no excuse for giving up so many potential defensive rebounds....simply poor blocking out, and lack of hustle.   That's the difference in the game right now....the rest looks fairly good, especially considering no RR.

I have to agree with this.  Collins doesn't give us much out there.  Darko must be really edging to Doc's doghouse with some really bad practices, otherwise, why isn't he in there?
He is our biggest center.  Get him in there, clear some def boards and clog the lane...

If he can't do that, they why do we have darko on our team?

Darko must be really terrible in practice if he can't sniff the floor in this game.

This may have already been mentioned. In any case, it was great hearing Marv Albert, in the first half, get on Steve Kerr for relishing the Celtics giving the Nets additional scoring opportunities after a miss.

This team is giving up offensive rebounds off missed free throws. That's just a cardinal sin.

I can't get over that this team gets given position in a free throw lineup by the rules of the game an still can't secure the ball.
Title: Re: Celtics (5-3) at Nets (4-2) 11/15
Post by: crimson_stallion on November 15, 2012, 11:52:06 PM
It's not Rondo we missed, but Avery Bradley.

it's not Rondo or Bradley that we missed, it's free throws!

With Rondo and Bradley in the lineup, we never would have been in that position with the score to begin with.  The free throws would (or at least SHOULD) never have been make-or-break shots.

It's not just the free throws though - Bass missed a good 4 or 5 open midrange jumpshots.  Out of those  of so shots he would have made at least 3 of them if he was in alst season's form with his jump shot. 

If Bass hits 2 or 3 of those jumpers and Pierce and Terry split those free throws, could have completely changed the outcome of the game. There were also 3 or 4 terrible calls that also could have completely changed the outcome of the game.

Still can't complain about out teams' effort today.  We didn't play a perfect game but out gave it their all and played hard all night - even in a night where everything seemed to be going against us we has a chance to win the game 8 games into a new season with no Rondo or Bradley and with a brand new and unfamilliar lineup.

I can live with this result.
