Vitor Faverani vs Marc Gasol
Once again, the Celtics face a team that is strong inside. Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol will give the Celtics all that they can handle at the power forward and center positions.

Game Notes:

After 3 games, the Celtics are still searching for their first win.  It won't get any easier in this game as they face a tough Grizzlies team.  And to make it even tougher, the Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games on the road. 

The Celtics have shown flashes of playing well and have been able to keep games close but they can't seem to get over the hump and pull it out at the end.  Maybe that will come with experience and as chemistry develops. 

Brad Stevens seems to be settled on his starting lineup for now, having started the same group 3 games in a row.  They should be able to build chemistry if he continues to start the same lineup.  But beyond the starters, the rotations have been mix or match with no real pattern. 

It's been puzzling why Humphries has been benched for the past 2 games after pulling down 9 rebounds in the previous game. Also, it's been puzzling as to why Pressey still is not seeing playing time when one of the problems the team has had is finding someone to run the offense consistently.

The Celtics need to put together a complete game in order to get their first win. Hopefully it will come in this game.   
 
Keys to the Game
Rebound - Much of rebounding is effort and positioning.  The Celtics are going to have to put extra effort into boxing out and crashing the glass if they want to stay close. 

Move the Ball and Run
- Playing as a team and moving the ball will be the Celtics best hope of winning this game.  They need to beat the defense down the court before it gets set up.  If they try to slow the game down, they won't get anything against the Grizzlies' tough defense.

Take Care of the Ball
- The Celtics are young and new to each other and that often means turnovers.  They turned the ball over 23 times against the Pistons.  They need to take care of the ball and try to limit those turnovers as the Grizzlies will make them pay if they don't.
 
Play 48 Minutes - The Celtics have tended to either get a big lead and then lose it or get in a big hole and then play hard to come back.  They need to find a way to play consistently and hard throughout the game to avoid both of those scenarios in this game. 
 
X-Factors
Fatigue and Focus

The Celtics are playing in back to back games on the road.  Young teams tend to lose focus on the road and the Celtics have to find a way to keep their focus on defense and winning from start to finish.

Is this the worst team in terms of match ups we'll face this season? My BOLD PREDICTION is 3 players not named Jeff Green make it to double digit points.

Bold Prediction

After the 4th quarter benching of Jeff Green, he will explode for 30 points.

Bass will get manhandled by Z-Bo, and shoot 2 out of 9

Marc Gasol and Vitor Faverani will curse each other out in spanish.

Avery Bradley will play 20 minutes tops.

We lose by 9.

Memphis is supposed to be a playoff team this year.  They should blow us out easily.

I'd like to see some more production out of Vitor and Oly.

Not looking forward to this one.

One of the toughest defensive teams in the league. A strong rebounding team and one of the best big man duos in the league.

I think out of everything it is that perimeter defense (Mike Conley, Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince) that scares me the most. Worried about what that backcourt will do to Boston's ball-handlers. If Memphis really turns it on, this one could get ugly.

Ok.....I''m using reverse logic......away at a playoff team.....they know how bad the Celtics are.

Stevens saved Fav, Green, and Sully .......for tonight, I think this was part of his strategy for not playing his best players last night much.

I'm going to predict this might be an upset , as the Grizzlies forget to play, go though the motions and get beat no getting up for this game.

Celtics win their first tonight . :)

The Griz won't even have to play much defense. They have an advantage at every position and will ram it down the C's throats with Conley leading the way by blowing past Bradley and the rest will follow.   This will be a good game to watch for...um, oh never mind.

Blowing past Bradley?  I get that Bradley has been very rough on O but his D is still great, the eye and the stats back that up.  Give credit where it's due.  He will be bothering Conley tonight.

But either way, they just need to get it into the post.

Interested to see how Fav, Sully, and Olynyk play.

Also, let's limit our turnovers.  Let's shoot for under 10 today.

I'm excited to see how Hombre fairs well against Mahc (yeah I call him Mahc) Gasol. I'm expecting a loss but I hope we grind a win to change our luck.

And hope that Faverani can stand toe to toe with the best bigs.

And I'm tweeting Jeff Green as of right now, tell him to stop being a tree and be aggressive.  ;D

it's the only way this team is winning. But he has to play enough to get a rhythm. No 5 minutes then pull the rookie for three games River's job.

No more Bradley, please.  What is he doing taking bad long-2s off the dribble early in the shot clock?  Is he playing point guard or not.  Get your teammates involved.

On one possession, Bradley had Vitor posting up in front of him and didn't even look to make a post entry.  He's supposed to be the point guard!  After he passed it to Bass at the top of the key, Bass made a motion like, "Why didn't you feed Vitor?"  Of course Bass didn't insist on a re-post.

Bradley not being on the court should benefit Green simply from getting more opportunities.  When Bradley isn't shooting himself, he makes the most bland of passes out of screens.  The only way Green is going to get a direct pass from Bradley in the half court is if he sets a screen for him.

Green looks really good tonight.  He just had a lefthanded finish, which is a rarity.

okay..how did we get pj carlisimo..I'd rather have SCAL doing the do...!

Scal works for the Warriors.

PJ is quite good I think.
pj is good..just odd that he is here....scal-o got another job..? announcing..? I would rather tommy....but scal is okay..

He is an assistant for Golden State.

I liked Scal on color commentary but I do like PJ a lot.  Very happy with him, I like him a lot more than Donny Marshall that's for sure.

The question never was if Jeff Green was good.

It's how consistent he will be? I hope he sustains this aggressive style of play for the entire game.

Agree. They certainly hang in there and just completely fade in the end.

Guess lack of experience makes that happen, but we can see that they have players who can compete.

Bold Prediction

After the 4th quarter benching of Jeff Green, he will explode for 30 points.

Bass will get manhandled by Z-Bo, and shoot 2 out of 9

Marc Gasol and Vitor Faverani will curse each other out in spanish.

Avery Bradley will play 20 minutes tops.

We lose by 9.

I think Jeff Green read my prediction.

He's really aggressive tonight

KO's defense has been my most pleasant surprise from him.  Loved the pick and all but I thought he'd take a bit longer to get adapted.

He has only really struggled with "banging" down low so far, but even that hasn't been too bad or anything.

Very pleased.

His D has been great so far this year statistically.

I like him and Crawford together with Craw playing PG on O and Bradley playing the PG on D.

Cleveland choking badly against Minny. About 6 straight possessions were they have made mistakes. Lost a 13 point lead in last 4 minutes.

11 seconds left. Final possession. Minny down 1 with the ball for the win.

Update: Agh, Barea lost his dribble in the PnR. Ball out to K-Love. Heaved 3. Miss. Cleveland got away with it. Awful finish to the game for the Cavs. Should've been a comfortable win.

Baxter Holmes ‏@BaxterHolmes 29m

BS said that after noting how he wants to incorporate Phil Pressey more at the PG. So, I expect Phil to play tonight.

I don't agree.

It's pretty simple.  He just needs to not play the PG role on offense.  Making him play PG just highlights all his weaknesses.

And I don't like seeing Sully skip adding a 15-17 footer and 18-22 footer. Adding a three pointer now is like running before walking. Skipping steps. I want to see him become a more complete offensive weapon than extremes. I think the three pointer is premature.

I don't think he's really adding anything myself, I feel it's something he's always had in his repertoire, just wasn't used last season under Doc. But he's always had range.

But like we saw in the subsequent play, Memphis guarded against the 3, and it opened up the lane for Sully which he took (just missed the shot).

So for now, I'm going to encourage him to take the shot when open. I'll re-evaluate depending on how successful of a shot it becomes.

Oh gosh, Tony Allen ripping the ball away from J.Green. TA has been incredible in the 2nd half getting deflections and creating turnovers. Top notch stopper defense too.

Excellent performance.

How about getting Green a freaking touch once in a while?  All he does is just stand in the corner.  I grew to hate Doc's offensive sets but just letting Crawford or Bradley run high pick and rolls/pops all the time is not good strategy.

Late in the game, that is a possession where I would like to see Sully step inside and take that 18 footer. A shot where he could probably hit 40-42% of the time versus 30% of the time from the three point spot.

The eFG% doesn't mean as much in that situation. Play those percentages earlier in the game. But late in the game, take the shot you make more regularly. Take the easier shot. Just needed a basket.

In that situation = FG% over eFG%

not a bad effort at all by the celtics. again, they have a terrible 4th quarter offense. no go to guy who can create distance from defenders and make a shot.

i liked the defensive effort, but a lot of missed assignments. and letting gasol shoot again and again from the top of the key was preventable.

the offense, what can we say? there is no point guard though i give credit to bradley and crawford for trying. they just dont have the skills.

sullinger is looking really good by the way.

olynyk, a terrible game, but he will do better. as a rookie you expect such games once in a while.

better luck next time celtics.

Post play and get Green the **** ball. We don't even have Rondo in the game, that ball should not have touched everybody's hands twice before Crawford or Sully huck up a desperate three.

I don't care if Green is focused or whatever. Get him the ball and drive. Not too much to ask

A little disappointed that Faverani hasn't done better in last two games.

A great performance against a skinny big man in Larry Sanders and weak interior of the Milwaukee but has been much less effective against centers with proper size and bulk (Valanciunas, Drummond, M.Gasol).

Sully 7-11 for 16 points
C-Lee 4-5 for 9 points
J.Craw 4-7 for 12 points

Bench mob did a great job of giving the team a lift. 37 points from those three guys. Gave them a major boost in the first half and held the lead well early in the fourth quarter.

Randolph said some pretty nice words about our young bigs.

Indeed.

He's one of those guys I could see us grabbing in a year or so to bring us back into contention.

That happens when you don't have a good playmaker or a good shooter.
I'm really beginning to think that as much as having Rondo back would improve the ball handling, passing and leadership on the floor, it'll only go so far when the people he passes to can't make shots or can't hold on to the ball themselves
Gotta get away from J.Green + G.Wallace together on the wing. Shrinking the floor for everyone else.

Wallace such a non-threat offensively.

Wallace is seriously a non-anything.

We were floundering and then he got hurt and was out and we got back into the game.

He brings nothing to the table.

I like the little things Klynyk does out there.  Ironically, he is probably the guy I feel most comfortable seeing play center defensively.

I think that he will grow more confident offensively as the season progresses.  I still think he's going to end up being a real steal.

I thought Tayshaun Prince should have gotten more minutes. They looked very solid while he was on the floor. Having that extra ball-handler and passer offensively and a rock solid defender. I thought he was quietly a really fine job for them.

Surprised to see that Tayshaun has only been getting around 20 minutes a night in each of the Grizzlies games so far this season. Underutilized.

Mike Miller should not be playing more than Tayshaun Prince.

Yes, I liked Olynyk's defense and rebounding. Much more solid than in preseason or first two games. Playing with more toughness and more effort on his rebounding.

Struggled offensively but the defense/rebounding gave me some hope. Not so much that he was so good at it as he wasn't a complete liability. He was serviceable enough to be trusted in more situations.

Yeah, I wouldn't say great.  But, the knock on him coming in was that he was supposed to be soft on the interior.  The best way for me to describe his defense is that he's "sneaky effective" down low.

I guess we see him differently.  I see him basically doing nothing out there.  They could use another shooter to space the floor instead.

Prince's inability to shoot basically sunk them in the playoffs.  They left him open and he couldn't hit anything.

I thought Jon Leuer in the 4th instead of Ed Davis was a great coaching change. Davis was having a nightmare against Boston's bigs. Leuer gave them someone who had to be defended. More of a threat offensively. Opened things up better for Memphis. Gave them better balance.

Prince may still be getting his legs under him. He missed a good chunk of the preseason with a stomach illness that forced him to lose quite a bit of weight.

No PG, no go to scorer = yet another loss.  Most encouraging things were Crawford and Sully.  Crawford's an intriguing backup 1.  Green scoreless down stretch and as someone mentioned - Mike Miller was apparently guarding him.  Your PG needs to recognize that.

So far a perfect start...if you're tanking.  But as losses pile up, the player effort will start to go south - I don't care who's coaching.

I'm sure our PG did recognize that.  Too bad he was sitting on the side lines in a fancy suit.

Let's check my game objectives.  #1 - Hard-fought losses.  #2 - develop the youngs.  #3 - Showcase the overpaid vets.

#1 - We were right in this until the end.  CHECK!

#2 - Sully had his best game, right?  16 points and 5 boards in 21 minutes.  I'll take it!  Oly was kinda bleh, unfortunately.  Bradley was aiight.  Vitor was meh.   They all got plenty of minutes though, so I'm calling this a CHECK!

#3 - Bass and Wallace kinda sucked despite the minutes.  Lee had a solid game in 19 minutes.  I'm on the fence on this one.  None of the contract albatrosses had big stat-padding nights. 

Overall... I'll give this one a B-  ... 2 out of 3 objectives complete.

I feel like you didn't see the game.

Olynyk didn't do well offensively in terms of scoring, but he definitely had a lot to do with that 15-0 run they had in the 3rd quarter. He was making all the right plays, all in the right spot, making all the right passes.

So yeah, offensively/scoring he didn't impress me either, but making offense for his team mates and defending the Memphis Bigs, he was really impressive.

Green did well this game he seemed over matched last game or too respectful of Smith.   I thought Vitor held his own, while he was in there.   Crawford continues to surprise.  Bradley played better but I think the emergence of Crawford is indicative that even Stevens realize AB is no PG.  I think our defense kept us in the game as we kept their bigs contained.   We match decent with Memphis because their bigs are slow and not great athletes.  Sullinger got hot but I do not think he shoots like this from downtown every night.

I think one of the big problems with starting Jordan Crawford instead of Gerald Wallace is a lack of rebounding.

G - Bradley (guards best opposing guard)
G - Crawford (hide on weakest guard)
F - J.Green
F - Bass
C - Faverani

Brandon Bass is a weak rebounding PF. Jeff Green is below average too. Bradley is a weak rebounding SG.

Faverani is a bit more of an unknown but so far he has had one excellent rebounding game against Milwaukee (skinny big, L.Sanders) and three weak rebounding performances against Toronto (Valanciunas), Detroit (Drummond) and Memphis (M.Gasol).

This for a team that is already getting out-rebounded by 4 rebounds a game. One of the weaker rebounding teams in the league.

I think if you swap G.Wallace out for J.Crawford and go with more of a two guard backcourt to get extra ball-handling and shooting on the floor ... I think you gotta follow that up with dropping Brandon Bass to the bench in favour of Jared Sullinger to try and make up some of that rebounding deficit.

G - Bradley (guards best opposing guard)
G - Crawford (hide on weakest guard)
F - J.Green
F - Sullinger
C - Faverani

I think that was one of the big problems with Avery Bradley + Jordan Crawford in preseason. The J.Green + B.Bass forward combination and the lack of Faverani (preseason) as starting center.

Seems odd.
