Game Notes
For the second time in three years, the Celtics and Knicks will meet in the first round of the playoffs.  The only players who remain from their last meeting in the playoffs are Carmelo Anthony, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jeff Green. 

Both teams struggled with injuries toward the end of the season.   Each team has an injured All-Star  player Rajon Rondo and Amar’e Stoudemire) but both are mostly healthy now according to their coaches.  Of most concern will be Tyson Chandler's bulging disc and KG's foot.  Neither played down the stretch but both are saying that they are healthy and ready to go. 

 I've seen several different starting lineups given for the Knicks as with the injuries, they haven't had one set lineup recently.  Their game notes list Felton, Prigioni, Melo, Shumpert, and Chandler but with Prigioni listed as questionable for the first game, I'm thinking they go with Shumpert at the 2 and Copeland at the 4 but that's just a guess on my part.  If Prigioni can play I expect the lineup above to start. 

 There's no love lost between these two division rivals and this should be a physical series with more than a little confrontation between them. 

Key Matchups
(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Bradley_Avery_BOS.jpg)  vs  (http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Felton_Raymond_NYK.jpg)
Avery Bradley vs Raymond Felton
With Prigioni questionable with an ankle injury, I expect Felton to move to point guard.  Bradley’s defensive contributions don’t show up in the box score, but his ball pressure is critical.  It will be important for Bradley to keep Felton from getting into the offense quickly.   Felton has been playing very well and appears rejuvenated this season.  He is averaging 13.9 points per game and gives the Knicks another solid scoring option in the starting lineup. 

(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Green_Jeff_BOS.jpg)  vs  (http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Anthony_Carmelo_nyk_11.jpg)
Jeff Green vs Carmelo Anthony
Paul Pierce has said that the toughest matchup for him in the league is Carmelo Anthony.   With Paul Pierce moving to the shooting guard in this big lineup, guarding Melo will mostly fall to Jeff Green.  Slowing Melo down is key.  Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass may also get their turn at guarding him.    If the Celtics can disrupt Melo and make things hard for him, it makes the Celtics chances of winning much better.   

Honorable Mention
Kevin Garnett vs Tyson Chandler
This will be a defensive battle between two very good defensive centers.   The key to this matchup may be who is healthier.   Chandler missed the last part of the season with a bulging disc in his neck and KG is returning from a foot/ankle injury.  The Celtics need a healthy KG in order to get a win.

Keys to the Game
Guard the 3 Point Line -  The Knicks made more 3 point shots than any team in history this season.   The 3 point shot has become a very effective weapon for them and guarding the perimeter will be crucial to getting a win.   

Defense
- The Knicks have been a good defensive team under Mike Woodson and the Celtics continue to hang their hat on their defense as well.   The Celtics have to make defense their priority in this series as the Knicks can be a very dangerous offensive team.   As stated in the first key, the Celtics must especially guard the perimeter.   But they also have to guard the paint because the Knicks have several players who can take it strong to the hoop like Melo, KMart, Smith and Copeland.   

Rebound
- The Celtics were 29th in the league in rebounding this season,   but he Knicks aren't all that much better, coming in at 24th.  Chandler is always a threat for double digit rebounds and it will be important for the Celtics' bigs to box out and keep the Knicks off the boards.    The Celtics have got to crash the boards as a team and win the battle on the glass because the Knicks will make them pay with tip ins and second chance points if they don't. 

Be Aggressive - Doc has said that aggressiveness is going to determine the winner of this series.  He pointed out that in the game the Celtics won, they were the aggressors and in the other 3 games they played passively.  The Celtics must be the more aggressive team.  They have to be aggressive in going to the hoop and not settle for jumpers, especially if the jumpers aren't falling.  They must be aggressive on the boards and in going after loose balls and winning the 50/50 plays.  The more aggressive team gets the calls from the officials and that will be important in this game.   We know that the Knicks will be aggressive and so the Celtics have to match that intensity. 

Play 48 Minutes - The Celtics must get off to a good start and play hard for 48 minutes in this game.  The Celtics have gotten off to strong starts only to collapse and give up big leads.  They have also gotten off to slow starts and sometimes have come back and other times have not been able to catch up.   They may get away with slow starts or with letting up in the game with some teams, but they can't count on the Knicks to let them back in if they get themselves down in this game.   

X-Factors
Focus On the Road
The Celtics have been terrible on the road this season and that's putting it mildly.  They have won just 13 games away from home this season.  It will be crucial for the Celtics to find a way to focus on the road since they don't have home court advantage.    Getting a win in the first game would be huge and to get it they must focus on doing all the little things they didn't do during the season.

If they can steal Game 1 OR 2, we may have a chance.

If they can steal Game 1 AND 2, we got it.

I hope this can be like the Orlando series in 2010, even though that was a shaky one.

Pretty hyped up for this one. It's the playoffs, against the Knicks and after this horrible week for the city of Boston... I just feel like the team, as shorthanded as it is, will have a big game.

If KG is playing his playoff standard 37 minutes a night and Pierce is playing his playoff standard 39 minutes a night... Boston will probably win this series in 5.

Not a fan of Doc going big against New York.

Not looking forward to Bass pretending to defend the three point line (Chris Copeland). Bass is a mistake waiting to happen that far from the paint defensively.

on paper our bench looks like the left overs from the buck a bag sale at the garment district.
looks like the sale rack at mardens
looks like wholesale lot at a 2nd rate used car dealer
looks like a summer league practice squad

oy...
even with out injuries (rondo, sully, barbosa) we're desperately short handed in the paint.

agree,  they have to play serious minutes

Have to have Pierces offense on the court

Need KG's Defense to STAY on the court.

usually against the better teams,  scoring goes to pot and the defense flops when KG sits..

NO LEAD is enough when KG is on the bench.

He NEEDS to stay out there ...till he drops......or else we are history.

The key disadvantage is the Celtics not having a guy who averaged 17.3 points, 11.9 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 steals in the playoffs last year. That would be, of course, Rondo.

Wow, Rondo's playoff stats last year

Really reminds me just how big a difference maker we're missing today.

Well, they now aren't that sure... but the Cs need to keep the good job on D, and move the ball to find Jeff. He's outplaying Melo 1-on-1.

By the way, playoff Terry is going to show off in 4th quarter.

Go Celtics!

I don't like the iso of Jeff Green against J-Kidd 20+ feet from the basket. Forced a tough shot that misses 80% of the time. The advantage was to Kidd defensively that far from the basket.

Not really worried. It's sad that the KNicks are making it but outside of the 2nd J-Kidd three, I thought the other two we're closed out and was contested. They will eventually miss thsoe shots as long as we keep pressure and challenge them.

Insane theory:

Doc had Bass on Melo so that Melo keeps scoring, this making him overconfident.  When the game is close in the fourth, Melo, still overconfident, will just iso vs. Pierce or Green, thus killing NY's offense and gifting Boston the win.

Maybe I should just shut up.

with Terry, Crawford and Lee off the bench. My guess is on occassion we will see a Wilcox sighting as well. More than that, I don't think so without a blowout.

Post by: aporel#18 on April 20, 2013, 03:55:40 PM
Insane theory:

Doc had Bass on Melo so that Melo keeps scoring, this making him overconfident.  When the game is close in the fourth, Melo, still overconfident, will just iso vs. Pierce or Green, thus killing NY's offense and gifting Boston the win.

Maybe I should just shut up.

TP, I totally buy it.

T-Will would be nice on JR and Felton, not sure if he can defend Melo, but he did a nice job against Rudy Gay.

Go Celtics!

I'm OK with that.  Want this to be close.  Knicks have a lot of firepower -- JR, Melo and Novak and can light it up and put us out of reach quickly.  Got to get the O back on track.  Drive.

I thought Pierce only took that shot because he saw C-Lee streaking to the basket. He thought Lee would continue on and be in lead position to get the offensive rebound. A two for one opportunity.

But Lee didn't continue his run to the hoop and it ended up being an easy defensive rebound for New York.

Just a comment on what was happening in the fourth so far. Melo's defense on Green when Green was the number one option for Boston shut him down and cost the C's their momentum.

Yup and he doesn't have the size or the scoring ability to be a starting SG.  I had hoped we would package him with bass and draft picks for an upgrading big man and have this lineup:

PG - Rondo
SG - Pierce
SF - Green
PF - KG
C - Legit Big man

That would have been our best lineup... People scoffed at the idea of starting Pierce and Green together... but not surprisingly that's what ended up happening... unfortunately instead of having Rondo and a star big... we're stuck with bradley and bass.

20 turnovers.  Not a single field goal from our bench.  Yet we still hung in there and held them to 85 points.  We'll win this series.  Just rusty... gotta get KG and Pierce back in their playoff flow.

This is why I knew they would miss Rondo in the playoffs.
Also
-the bench needs to step it up
-Jet needs to get it together because he brought nothing to the table today.
-KG has been cold
-they need to get the turnovers together

The only thing I can say is that they've finally made their FT's.
Hopefully they can get next game and tie it up.

KG will regain his mojo. JET has had all season to justify his signing and his arrogance and has come up with nothing. This is just sad to watch.

Really frustrating loss. Usually I would feel OK and think "we've got the next one" but I think we lost our best opportunity to take a big advantage in the series.

I think Melo will still have bad games after this one but I just don't see us scoring enough points every time, and with ease. KG and Pierce can't do it during the whole game, Green neither (he had an OK second half but we just need him to be the first half Green at all times), Terry is pure garbage. And the most worrying sign to me is that our other players looked simply terrified to shoot. I'm thinking of Bass and Lee in particular. Bradley was OK but he is not a shooter.

Thought both Chandler and KG didn't look fit.  C's looked much like they have for so many play off losses during KG's time (giving up offensive rebounds / PP iso / poor shooting).
Bench was horrible and when PP, JG and AB went cold there was just nothing there in the second half.
Worrying.

2 shot attempts for Bass in 33 minutes. Bass should never take so few shot attempts. His scoring his main value on the court. Needs to be more aggressive on offense.

Even a backup PG like Will Bynum or JJ Barea would make such a big difference to Boston's offense right now. Someone who can beat their defender and get into the paint. Force the Knicks defense off kilter. Get them scrambling.

Except that he has failed to show up all season.  ::) Terry defenders have argued that he'll show up in the playoffs, despite his consistent lack of game all season long. Now the playoffs are here, and nothing has changed, and there are no signs of anything changing either.

We need to reallocate his minutes where we can get more value and production. This guy is done.

And on Terrence Williams, this guy can actually set up others and pass the ball, which are faults we direly need to fortify if we want to pull this upset.

For sure.  That, or run more post plays of KG or PP, like how they were posting PP early in the game.  It creates an automatic threat and the defense needs to shift and react accordingly.  Not sure why they didnt' do more of it in the 2nd half.  25 points in a half is just ungodly bad.

I am not wild about the big lineup - the starting unit

G - Bradley
G - Pierce
F - Green
F - Bass
C - Garnett

I think the size advantage of Pierce + Green in the post against New York's wings is too easy to counter. A quick double team on the post and the threat is gone. Ball forced out to Bass, Garnett or Bradley for a long two point jump-shot. Some of the least efficient shots in basketball.

I don't think it's a good offensive system. I think Boston needs to drop Bass and go smaller with someone like Courtney Lee. Use that added three point threat to get better spacing. Look to drive off of kickouts since there is no longer a clogged paint inside from double teaming the post. One of Green or Pierce (whoever Melo isn't defending) gets a much easier matchup to exploit.

I think Doc needs to go smaller to get enough offense on the floor to win in this series.

I agree we played about as good as you can up until that horrendous second half. I know Melo had almost 40 but it wasn't in a dominant way where he was just killing us, we made it tough for him and held their shooters in check for the most part. I'll take ugly games with them in the 90s all day.

I said it before the series not worried about defense it's our offense. If nobody outside Pierce and Green can make shots this series will be over fast.

The second half wasn't even all that bad. Cs led by 7 at one point (largest lead by either team to that point, I believe). If they could've maintained hustle, they would have pulled out the W. KMart and Kidd really showed a lot of hustle, and got Melo and the crowd back into it. Gritty vets would help the Cs a lot (Terry doesn't count).

I wish I never had to see Bradley try to pass again in the playoffs.  It's ridiculous how awful a passer and finisher around the basket he is on non-cuts.  While his shooting numbers were solid, after the Knicks took away his cuts off the ball, he didn't have much of an impact.  Overall, between the grade school passing and bad fouls, he's a very frustrating player to watch.

After watching some of the highlights and a bit of the game, I'm still optimistic about this team's opportunity vs NY and the postseason.

If we get 4 pts and TEN REBOUNDS, plus solid D - from BASS the rest of the series and playoffs? I'm happy.

Jeff Green has arrived - boy has he. The man CAN and WILL carry us at times offensively, vs just about ANY team from here on out....and he is getting better defensively. That last shot with Melo hitting that 3 with Jeff draped all over him? I'll give Melo that shot ALL DAY, myself...he won't hit those much more often vs BOS.

Paul Pierce and KG won't have bad shooting nights on Tues and the rest of the post-season.

Jason Terry WON'T go 0-4...Lord I hope he doesn't :o.

Avery Bradley is STILL learning the PG spot...he is not and will never be Rajon - but he is all we have right now....and personally I'm happy with that. He did not play well from a PGs perspective, but he WILL play better. I believe that.

On Tue (and the remainder of the postseaon) BOS won't have the swell of emotions to deal with in regards to the tragedy of last week.

NY got this one, but boy they'd better hope that Carmelo Anthony can average 36-40 pts the rest of the way.

And Carmelo WON'T do that.

I'm still happy BOS is playing NY, and we'll right the ship here soon.

His inconsistency is not going away.  He played a great 24 minutes of basketball and p---ed away the other 24

Look, no offense intended to you or LSS, but I LOL'd at the comments here.

What do we expect Jeff Green to do - carry us for 48 min? Ain't happening.

His production "should" have been enough to carry BOS...none of us foresaw JT going 0 - 4, Paul and KG having bad FG% games, nor the mistakes that AB made at PG.

No one on the Knicks squad can guard Paul Pierce...he "should" be having a field day out there.

To me, Jeff Green is the absolute last person we should be blaming, here....just unbelievable.

I'm not blaming him for the loss. I'm just pointing out that he was M.I.A in the second half. So yeah, he arrived for the first half and then left early. I have no problem with green missing, I have a problem when he losses his aggressiveness and that's exactly what he did in the second half. He does deserve SOME blame.

Tyson Chandler played only 20 minutes.

The Knicks still won.

This was a real chance to steal one on their homecourt. A blown opportunity.
I agree we played about as good as you can up until that horrendous second half. I know Melo had almost 40 but it wasn't in a dominant way where he was just killing us, we made it tough for him and held their shooters in check for the most part. I'll take ugly games with them in the 90s all day.

The second half wasn't even all that bad. Cs led by 7 at one point (largest lead by either team to that point, I believe). If they could've maintained hustle, they would have pulled out the W. KMart and Kidd really showed a lot of hustle, and got Melo and the crowd back into it. Gritty vets would help the Cs a lot (Terry doesn't count).

The 4th quarter was bad enough to overshadow the somewhat decent 3rd. One decent quarter and one absolutely pathetic quarter= Bad half.

KGs rest also played a role. He was rusty.

they doubled the guy, took away his right hand and just made overall adjustments
while we sat there with our junk in our hand. not to mention he also played 45 minutes. come on. you all are a bit much.

Don't forget, for every double-team there's an open man
