Game Notes
After being at home for one game, the Celtics head back out on the road for a back to back set in Florida.  First up are the surprising Magic.  The Celtics would do well not to take this team lightly.  The Magic are coming off a big win over the Clippers

The Celtics finally got their first win of the season after shuffling the starting lineup and rotation.  I would expect Jordan Crawford will once again start at the point with Gerald Wallace coming off the bench. 

The Celtics have won 8 in a row against the Magic.  But these teams have gone in opposite directions since they last played.  The Celtics are without 4 of their top 5 scorers including the heart and soul of that team.

The Magic, on the other hand, have returned five of their top six scorers from last season and that continuity has appeared to pay off.  Orlando (3-2) is averaging 103.4 points this season - 9.3 more than in 2012-13 - and has produced 107.5 per game over its last four contests. 

The Celtics are one of the least offensive teams in the league, averaging just 89.4 points per game. However, the Celtics have made up for their low output by playing some tough defense, allowing only 93.4 per game.

Key Matchups
(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/avery_bradley.png) vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/arron_afflalo.png)
Avery Bradley vs Arron Afflalo
Afflalo is the Magic's leading scorer averaging 18.8 points per game.  Avery's defense will be needed to slow Afflalo down.

(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/vitor_faverani.png)  vs  (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/nikola_vucevic.png)
Vucevic is one of the up and coming young centers in the league.  He is averaging 17.8 points and 13.2 rebounds per game.  It will fall on Vitor and Kelly Olynyk to keep him out of the paint and off the boards. 

Keys to the Game
Rebound - The Magic are #1 in the league in rebounding, pulling down 48.4 per game.  The Celtics are going to have to work hard to get rebounds to give themselves a chance at winning this game.

Limit Turnovers
- The Celtics are 3rd in the league in turnovers with 19.8 per game.  They cut their turnovers to 14 in their win over the Jazz and need to keep them down again in this game. 

Run, Run, Run
- The Celtics have shown that when they run, they are capable of playing very well,  and they need to run the ball up the court before the Magic's defenses can get set up.

Play 48 Minutes
- The Celtics have yet to put together a complete game.  In all 5 of their games, they have had a spurt where they slowed the game down and stopped playing their game.  They need to play for 48 minutes and not let up. 

X-Factors
On the Road and Rotations

Young teams often have problems keeping their focus on the road.  The Celtics will have to work to keep their focus and play their game in spite of the hostile crowd. 

Brad Stevens seemed to hit on a rotation that worked for the most part in the last game.  Will he keep the same rotation or change it up again?

Bold Predictions: Avery Bradley to be personally responsible for bullying 6 turnovers out of Jameer Nelson as the Magic PG posts an anti double double of 10 TOs and 10 missed FGAs.

Looking for more of the same actually. Celtics play well for three quarters ,fade during the 4th and come up short at the buzzer.  This team is a lot deeper than Utah .

Learning how to finish a game , stop a run is the big challenge for coach and team both.  May be without Rondo, this just can't be helped at this point.  I dunno.

Celtics lose by 5 points. Is my prediction .   Another ping pong ball.... :-X

Where is Glen Davis in all this?


Doh! He is injured. With Glen Davis, I think Orlando has a shot to make the playoffs in the shallow Eastern Conference. Either way, I don't like our chances tonight or tomorrow night in Miami.

The compete attitude is good so far so I will watch the games this weekend. Playing the over on 27.5 win level appears to be a shaky bet at this time. They won't get there if Rondo is kept out this season.

Bold Predictions

The Boston Celtics get a hand on their turnover problem, and finish the game with a team total of 21 assists, and 10 turnovers.

Phil Pressey gets an extended run against Orlando's bench, and finishes with 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Kelly Olynyk displays flashes of his range from beyond the arc, and finishes 2-4 from deep, with 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Gerald Wallace comes off the bench to post an 11 point, 8 rebound, 6 assist game, and says nice things about how the team is starting to "find our roles" and "gel" in his post-game with Abby.


Tommy Heinsohn uses the phrases "walking the ball up the court" and "Where is Jeff Green?" during halftime.

Celtics Win, 98-92, with Brandon Bass sinking the go-ahead midrange jumper.

First of all, kudos to FLCeltsFan for pregame setup and important facts to these game threads, nice touch!!!

It's fun to read the comments before the game is played and then the comments made after all is said and done.
This is a tough game to focus on with Miami tomorrow but hopefully we can play this one for 48 minutes and get the win.

we are playing on the road so i easily see us lose this one by double digits.

until Jeff Green learns to play assh**e in the 4th qtr when he always seem to hide in his shell then i definitely do not see us winning this one...

Jeff green needs to assert himself early on in this game. Anything below 20 points from him tonight is unacceptable against this Orlando roster. I also want to see Wallace put or shut up tonight. I'm such a harsher critic of him since he started singing like a canaries to the media. Sully will have a double double tonight. Avery Bradley will have more turnovers than assists. I also want to see what olynyks shot selection will be. Stevens needs to get him in better positions to score.

Disagree with quite a few points from you here.

Crawford is currently much better than Jameer. Yes, Jameer is more of a PG than him, but Crawford's has a much greater positive impact on the game than Jameer.

To say nothing if the put Bradley to guard Jameer, then him by himself can completely stagnate Orlando's offense... we've seen it before.

I agree with Afflalo.

Agree with Green.

No way is Bass vs Maxiell neutral, that's clearly Bass advantage.

Pretty much agree with the rest.

F: Bass vs Maxiell = neutral

There's no way Bass vs. Maxiell is neutral.  That one's advantage Boston.

Yeah, I could be talked into that.

I really like Maxiell though. Bass brings more scoring + long range shooting but Maxiell is a better team defender + possession creator.

I think Maxiell's physical qualities help him in this matchup. Similar to Bass in that he is undersized 6-7 or 6-8 but built very strong and tough with good quickness. Very similar. Helps Max in one-on-one situations against Bass.

Also why Nicholson is still on the bench. Because he gets pushed around too easily. Which is very good news for Sully and Bass. I think both of those guys can eat him up. I wonder about Olynyk though. They might cancel each other out.

Maxiell has been pretty inconsistent with his jump-shot throughout his career. When he is hitting it at a serviceable clip (albeit on low volume), I think that gives him enough offense to make the matchup is neutral. When Maxiell isn't making enough of his jump-shots, and is really a hustle-only guy, I think Bass gets the edge because of his higher skill-level offensively.

Let's get back on the losing trail tonight.  College ball is starting up... it's going to be a fun season watching those prospects and waiting for one of them to be the savior of this franchise. 

Let's see a hard-fought loss, some more development from the youngins and some more showcasing of the overpaid vets.

Thought he tried to pass and got deflected or something, hopefully I can see a replay.

I don't think so, he was all alone in the middle of the floor. But maybe. I've got a blurry stream. lol

I like Courtney Lee against Afflalo.

I would like to see Bradley get some time on Oladipo. I think Avery's lateral quickness could limit Oladipo's slashing well. Not sure if Oladipo has a developed enough offensive game to take advantage of a smaller defender like Bradley.

Green is supposed to be our best playr right now and he just disappears on the Celtics every third game and for entire halves at a time.

Green is supposed to be our best playr right now and he just disappears on the Celtics every third game and for entire halves at a time.

TP.

He's thrown out some highlight dunks that looked cool, but there's no reason for him to fade into the crowd. I love his talent but he has to demand the ball and attack.

Yet for 3 or 4 plays in a row I've seen Green right next to either Crawford or Bradley calling for the ball and both of them have ignored his calls...

So while I agree Green at times disappears, sometimes is a simple matter of those handling the ball giving him the rock, you know?

I think Crawford actually runs the offense better. And while maybe not having the defensive instincts that Pressey does, Crawford has the physicality and ability to get to be a better defensive player than Pressey because of his size.

Just one man's opinion but from the games I have seen, Crawford is this team's back up PG...not Pressey.

Oladipo's defense is very impressive.
His defensive footwork and body positioning is amazing. His lateral speed is off the charts good.

His offense needs a bunch of work.

Jeff Green just seems lazy sometime.
Thank you. You saw his body language before that throw in too.
Part of the reason why I'm not sold on him being a leader. He takes GAMES off, not just plays.

Green doesn't have the killer instinct to be a top guy on a team.

I do like him as a 4th man though. Maaaaaaaaybe in the right situation he could be a 3rd.

I'd put AB on Affalo.

When did Crash become better at defense than AB? Affalo has been torching him.

Only thing that hurts you is the 3 point shot though. You want to make sure you can contest that even if you are slightly behind.

The Orlando telecast has been gushing over Avery Bradley the entire 2nd half.

The Celtics crowd needs to get off his back a bit. Lots of unneeded hate IMO. He played terrific defense tonight.

This is a disaster!  Jk. Wins against equally dumpy teams like Orlando are going to happen occasionally.  Hopefully we can ship out some of these contributors like bass soon.  These random wins can't start piling up or it will be detrimental to our long term future.  These little one-pop wins feel nice for a second but they will kill our hope for future success.  It's like taking meth. 

Winning games this year = smoking meth

Every win this year is a step further away from drafting ender wiggin.  I imagine Miami will get us back on track.

Yeah I mean it is nice to win but it would be amazing to put some distance on total championships won over LA.  They're not going to be relevant contenders for several years and one of these young guys is our best chance to do that.  ESPECIALLY with the Nets looking like TOTAL GARBAGE

Stay calm and look at the schedule. We get shredded tomorrow, and come Monday the Magic have their Revenge Game™. We can still bottom out by losing three games for every one win. Only two games behind at the moment.

Kg and piece will still bring it hard in the playoffs, but I agree Danny made out like a bandit considering those two might be out of the league by next season.

So developing our guys into team players, making them learn how to play winning basketball and developing a winning culture doesn't matter?

Yes, let's lose some games, give our guys little to no confidence in themselves and insert a top 3 pick, because that fixes everything. No need for team chemistry and team desire for success.

No.  It literally doesn't matter.  I've explained that it another thread.  Rondo and perk tanking in 07 had no effect on their championship contributions.  Durants team actively tanking his rookie season didn't hurt his long term career.  The 2-3 guys still on this team next time we make a playoffs aren't going to care that we won 26 games back in 2013-14.

That's what no winning culture do to you. Rondo and Perk in 07 won not because of a young player who developed, but because he is surrounded by veterans who did everything in their careers and all they ever wanted was to win.

No winning culture will eventually lead us into being the Clippers before Chris Paul or the Washington Wizards. We'll have the talent that we need by losing, but not a team where players know how to play winning basketball.

Look, I get your notion that if we are at the bottom we end up with a high pick in a loaded draft. Not denying that. That's what Durant's team is now. Even if they tanked or not, they are just not good enough to win games, and without Rondo we are as well.

But the idea that we should not be happy for a win and not go for it, that's beyond meth. We're risking the uncertainty of having a top tier talent but a very poor foundation of a team mentally. I'm not expecting a ton of wins this year, but I'd want the team to go after it every game. At least they will be hungry for more and will set a good tone for this superstar coming in, instead of settling for loses.

Love how you understate a win against Orlando, who coming in to tonight were 3-2 for the year, their loses coming against the #1 Pacers and an OT loss against Minnesota who's playing quite well.

Their 3 wins? By 20 against the Pelicans, by 21 against the Nets, and by 8 against the Clippers.

One of the best rebounding and offensive team so far this year, and we held them to under 40% shooting.

So paint it however you want it, but this was a good win against a team coming in on a 3 game winning streak which included 2 teams who are championship contenders.

Lol no.  I don't like the idea of winning 33 games and missing the playoffs.  Perpetual mediocrity is a nightmare.  But I don't think this team really has the talent to be competitive so I'm not worried about it.  Blowouts are right around the corner.  If we manage to lose by less than 15 to Miami I'll start getting nervous.

Don't sweat it too much.  We have the extra pick next year that we might be able to use to move up a few spots if we're in the 5-10 range, and after all, Pierce was picked at #10.  Worked out.

I'm okay with watching a decent game now and again.

So if the team looked like a good competitive team tomorrow you won't like it...? Is that what you are saying?

Apparently building a contending team in the future should ONLY be done by embracing losing and in return getting a high draft pick. Not by trying to be competitive, not by trying to win, or making something for what assets we have  while making the most of what talent this team has, none of that stuff works.

I mean, just ask the Indiana Pacers for instance, who had no top five picks since 1989. Surely they built this contending team by tanking after Reggie retired. Oh wait...

After a hard fought win and excellent effort this team deserves better than to have its "fans" moping in the game thread of the team's best blog site because they didn't lose.

Its truly a sad state that this is how some people "cheer" for their team.

Oh calm down nick.  Maybe 3 of these guys tops will still be celtics in a couple years.  These aren't celtics... It's a team of sitting ducks and scabs.  I'll root for wins when there is a point to it.  Right now I want to see us bottom out.  I'm not actually mad.  It's orlando.  You're going to luck int

How mad are you going to be if Stevens gets this team to be a slightly above-average defense, which will probably make it a bit hard to be a bottom-five team?

I betting he'll go ballistic and call for Stevens' head for making the team a very good defensive group instead of being losers.
Lol no.  I don't like the idea of winning 33 games and missing the playoffs.  Perpetual mediocrity is a nightmare.  But I don't think this team really has the talent to be competitive so I'm not worried about it.  Blowouts are right around the corner.  If we manage to lose by less than 15 to Miami I'll start getting nervous.

So if the team looked like a good competitive team tomorrow you won't like it...? Is that what you are saying?

I'm saying if we manage to lose by less than 15 tomorrow, I might have to rethink my entire existence.

This team looked better tonight than it did to start the season.  They are playing very good defense, and the offense will keep improving.

They don't have the talent of the top teams in the league, but they have plenty of talent to stay competitive on most nights.  To me, they are starting to look like a scrappy bunch that is playing for each other.  I loved how coach Stevens singled out Jordan Crawford for diving on a loose ball in his post-game interview, almost like a; "who'd have thunk it?"
 comment. 

It's bound to be a bumpy ride, and we might get brought down to earth tomorrow night, but I'm counting on this team to scrap together around 35 wins this season. 

Hopefully, Gerald Wallace is over calling his teammates "losers" after every loss. 

I have said before that I thought Avery Bradley would be a leader on this team.  It's not because he's an elite talent, but rather because he has somewhat of a KG effect on the way the team plays.  This is a guy who will guilt his teammates into playing hard every night by example. 

I'm looking forward to these guys making me proud this season.

Guys! This Perpetual mediocrity thing only applies if 33 wins is the medium to long term ceiling for the bunch of players in question. Given how young our team is age and NBA experience  wise, plus all the picks we have, plus Danny's relatively strong drafting, If this porter as constructed somehow contrives to win 33 games this it would be a sign of being ahead of schedule in the rebuild, not their ceiling.

I think we'd been a better team with Stevens in the last few years instead of Doc.   We actually rebound now.

  Small sample size, but we're 8th in defense right now.
