Key Matchups
(http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/4240.png&w=250&h=184)  vs  (http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/6442.png&w=250&h=184)
Avery Bradley vs Kyrie Irving
The last time these two met, in a loss in Cleveland, Irving scored 40 points and Avery vowed that he would never do that again.  I expect Avery to take this one personally and give a little extra on defense to try to shut Irving, who is averaging 31 points in two games against the Celtics, down. 

(http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/1731.png&w=250&h=184)  vs  (http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/6631.png&w=250&h=184)
Chris Wilcox vs Tyler Zeller
Zeller is averaging 12.3 points, 7.3 points, and 1.3 blocks in 3 games against the Celtics this season.  Chris needs to keep Zeller off the glass and out of the paint. 

Game Notes

The Celtics continue their 4 game home stand as they try to win the season series with the Cleveland Cavaliers.   The Celtics currently leads the series 2-1, winning once in Boston, and once in Cleveland, without Kyrie Irving. 

The Celtics won the series last season 3-0. All 3 wins were close games with the Celtics winning by 3 points, 3 points and 1 point.   This is the last of 4 meetings between these two teams this season and the games in Cleveland were again close with the Cavs winning by 5 and the Celtics winning by 1.  In the only game that wasn't close, the Celtics won in Boston 103-91.

 The Celtics are 3-7 in their last 10 games while the Cavs are just 0-10 in their last 10.  The Celtics are playing well at home with a 26-11  record at the Garden.  The Cavs are just 9-28 on the road.  The Celtics are looking for their second straight win while the Cavs are hoping to avoid an 11 game losing streak. 

The Celtics are still entrenched in the 7th spot in the East.  They are 2.5 games ahead of the Bucks, who are in 8th and 2 behind Chicago in 6th and 2.5 behind Atlanta in 5th.  The Cavs are playing for pingpong balls but would love nothing better than to play spoiler for the Celtics and get a win in this game. 

Keys to the Game
Rebound -  Rebounding is mostly desire and effort.   When the Celtics put out the effort to out-rebound their opponents, the effort tends to spread to every area of the game and they usually get the win.    In their last meeting, the Cavs out rebounded the Celtics 46-37, including 9-2 on the offensive end.  The Cavs are second in the league in second chance points and the Celtics must  crash the boards as a team to keep them from racking up second chance points in this game.

Defense -  Defense is the key to every game.  The Celtics won banner 17 with defense and if they want to win banner 18 they must once again do it with defense. They have struggled with defense without KG, but every player must put out maximum effort on the defensive end with the playoffs coming up, as defense becomes even more important in the playoffs.    They must find their defensive identity and make it a priority in every game. 

Stay Focused and Take Care of the Ball -  How many times have we seen the Celtics get a lead and then lose their focus and start to turn the ball over and miss jumpers.  The Celtics must stay focused.  They have to hit their free throws,  take care of the basketball and limit turnovers, and focus on playing team basketball. 

Be Aggressive - The team that is more aggressive and plays like they want it more will get more calls and will usually get the win. 
The Celtics must be more aggressive in going to the basket,  in grabbing rebounds,  in playing defense, and in going after loose balls.  They can't play tentatively.  They have to be the more aggressive team.

X-Factors
Home Court and Injuries
The Celtics are playing at home and hopefully that will give them a boost in this game.  They are still missing KG, but hopefully Pierce's ankle will be better and he will be able to play.  Also, hopefully TWill's finger won't hold him back as he is just finding his role on the team.

Thanks FL! TP!

I'm seeing another win, in another strange way. Last game it was 25 offensive rebounds, I don't know what it will be this game. But it's going to be another win, somehow. We're too good at home to lose to a team like CLE.

Expect some more Green/Bass/Bradley.

TP back at your for being the first in the GT.  I'm hoping for a win in this one too.  They have to stay focused though.  Can't play down to them because they will definitely play up to us.

Chances are we let them get a big lead, make a comeback that gives us a large lead, only to let up again, making the final score seem much closer than it could've been. (It's a scheme to make us feel stressed-out every night, you know what I mean?)

Paul Pierce (ankle) and Kevin Garnett (ankle) are both inactive for Friday's game against the Cavs.
Pierce originally hurt his ankle on Sunday and then aggravated in on Wednesday. As the playoffs loom in just two weeks, add him to the laundry list of veterans pursuing health and rest over game action. The Celtics will start Avery Bradley, Courtney Lee, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass and Chris Wilcox on Friday.

I'm very interested. Expect another 30+ outing from Jeff. Anything less is bad ;) Great expectations for a great player.

I can't ever remember Bass being in foul problems. That is what happens when your PF shoots mid range jumpers, does not rebound, or protect the rim.


I like the way Avery is playing tonight.

Idk if I necessarily agree. It's a tough choice though, Terrence is much better at making things happen with the ball in his hands. If he continues to play defense at a high level he might have to get Lee's minutes.

Shav is doing great. But how did Doc choose between him and White? They admit all the time they've literally has no practices. So was it late game play? If so, I thought White looked equally as good.

Shav is doing great. But how did Doc choose between him and White? They admit all the time they've literally has no practices. So was it late game play? If so, I thought White looked equally as good.

Having said that, in a game like this, why not give the kid a chance? Could spark a win.
i knowhow manpeople here say.."well doc knows better 'cause he sees these guys in practice all the time"..every year doc says he has no time to practice....

Those who were so desperate to trade KG and Pierce and blow it up, this is what you have to look forward to.

Hopefully we would get some quality players back in return. If the Clippers trade would of happened, we'd have Bledsoe and Jordan out there instead of Williams and Wilcox.

No, I absolutely do not think we will get a Lebron or Dwight. However, I do have enough common sense to hold my judgement on a team full of injuries and former Chinese league players' future. You're acting like Pierce and KG will just be dead money when they leave and we'll be stuck with this exact team.

I was a little confused by his comment as well.  I said Bradley is a terrible offensive PG, and then he goes on about how defense is effort.  I don't see where the connection is.

Though he certainly has much more natural aptitude for defense, he also spends much more effort. His counterparts could play defense close to Bradley's level, but they don't: they don't give the effort.

A lot of players don't give their all on defense, you've seen the quotes.

Anticipation that's what you got. Point made then

Idk what point you're trying to make. If you think this team would be better off with Avery on the bench, then good luck with that.

Only by default is Bradley our starting PG.  He sucks on offense at that position.  Can't dribble, can't pass, and has no court vision.

The only reason it's worked reasonably well, is due to Pierce's ability to run the offense.  Notice how when Pierce is out we can barely score to save our lives (even worse than normal).

Bradley is a beast defensively, but he needs to either be starting at SG or coming off the bench.

This team misses Rondo far more than many here are willing to admit.

I'm extremely willing to admit that we miss Rondo majorly, let alone the other 3 guys out. Doesn't change my view that Bradley is too big of a defensive asset to this team to put him on the bench. With two of our stars being plugged back in during the playoffs he won't be in the position to be heavily relied on other than bringing it up the floor and making a few passes.

so another loss to a garbage team 30 games under .500?

This team will be destroyed in the 1st round by the knicks or pacers.

what a complete farce.

I'll agree that under normal circumstances, meaning with Pierce playing (sans Rondo), Bradley is our best option at the position.  His offensive shortcomings at PG can be mitigated, and his defensive addition to the team is greater than any contribution from any other options we might have at PG.

Honestly, when Pierce is out, whether for the entire game or just when he's resting during the game, someone else needs to be running the point.  He can't do it.  I'd rather see Terry or Crawford.

And GSW, Bucks, Lakers, Grizzlies, Raptors, Nets, ,Trailblazers, Magic, Nuggets and he would start and play 10 min a game in La Clip when Crawford came in. Those are the ones that aren't even debatable.

Opponents must get the highest percentage of offensive rebounds in the game when Bass is on the court.  It's ridiculous how bigs just abuse him.  He has all the imperfect traits of a poor rebounder: poor fundamentals in blocking out; poor hands; late reaction time; undersized; needs to load up to get any spring, which, along with his slow reaction time, has him often flexing his knees while his man is already skying for an offensive rebounds. 

He's like Mark Blount in so many ways.  No wonder Ainge signed him to a multi-year deal.  Ainge really has some weaknesses.

Agreed. Shav, Green and Bradley won't be able to manage the scoring load in the playoffs just like tonight. If only we had Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett or a healthy Courtney Lee or something...  ???
