Game Notes

The Celtics visit the Wizards for the 2nd of 4 games between these two teams this season.  The Celtics lost to the Wizards 106-99 in Boston in their first meeting. 

The Celtics are playing in back to back games and so fatigue may become a factor in this game.  With Gortat and Nene in the front line, the Celtics may struggle to get tot he basket and grab rebounds.  The Celtics bigs are going to need to hustle and be very aggressive to get anything.

Avery Bradley went down with a sprained ankle in Tuesday's game and is doubtful for this game.  If he can't play, the Celtics will very much miss his defense on Beal and they will be short handed at the two guard position. 

They are signing Vander Blue of the D League to a 10 day contract and expect him to be with the team for this game. Chris Johnson, also on a 10 day contract came up big for the Celtics against the Heat and hopefully will have another big game in this one.   

Key Matchups
(http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/rajon_rondo.jpg)vs(http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/john_wall.jpg)
Rajon Rondo vs John Wall
Wall is playing very well, averaging 20.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 8.5 assists. Rondo will need to slow him down and also make him work on the defensive end.

(http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/avery_bradley.jpg)vs(http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/bradley_beal.jpg)
Avery Bradley vs Bradley Beal
Avery will have his hands full with Beal, who is averaging 17.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists.  With Avery's improved offense, he should make Beal work on defense as well. 

Keys to the Game
Play 48 Minutes - The Celtics have been getting off to fast starts and have closed strong but have let up in the middle. They need to play hard for 48 minutes and avoid the slumps.

Defense - The Celtics need to especially defend the 3 point line. Washington is one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the NBA. But they can't ignore the paint either as Gortat and Nene can go strong to the basket as can their guards.  The Celtics need to play team defense as the Wizards have 6 players averaging 11 points or more per game so they have to cover everyone. 

Move the Ball - The Celtics play their best when they move the ball and find the open man. They play their worst when they over dribble and each player tries to do too much. They need to keep the ball moving, including getting up the floor quickly before the defense gets set.

X-Factors
Fatigue and Injuries
The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games after a tough game in Miami on Tuesday so fatigue may be a factor for them.  Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass both left the game with injuries.  If they can't go, the Celtics will be short handed.

Another tough stretch? Oh well. Anyway my BOLD PREDICTIONS for this evening: Kelly Olynyk to go nuts from the perimeter and hit 30points, Rajon Rondo to make his  first double double, and finally  Wallace to out score Jeff Green.

That is not a bold prediction. That is wishful thinking or a pipedream. Are you just throwing things at the wall hoping they finally stick? Or are you trolling?

Bass is a terrible team defender. If your man gets by you, Bass will give up the layup. No help. Too worried about fouling out. He might not be able to scored his 11 pts average if he did that.

I don't get how Green isn't trying.  He could take 20 circus shots this game if he wanted and nobody would care. I think that sounds like a great time, while standing there and jacking 3s is boring

lets not jump the gun yet. He has to be able to do this for the majority part of his contract. Then a 2nd 10 day then rest of the year.

At this rate though we might of found our future SG. The guy is 6'6, 6'10 wingspan, nice max leap, quickness, plays good defense , has some nice moves and best can really shoot. We will have to see how he bounces back from a bad game , etc.

olly doesnt force many shots at all. he isnt quick enough to drive to the basket, but he is a smart player how does a good job of passing out of situations instead of shooting a bad shot.

and pressey is unconscious tonight. ha, ha...if he keeps this up maybe ainge should trade rondo.  ;)

If he shoots a lot, he's a black hole.

you just cannot chuck a shot with 20 plus sec left in the shot clock. Young or not, college or not , you just don't do it

Even if you are a special player and take that shot, you really shouldn't

There was three ocassions where blue could of hit the widen open man, and he didn't or chose not to. I hate this kind of style of basketball the most.

Honestly. The passive one. The passive one at least keeps the ball moving and spaces the floor. This one may seem like he's in god mode, but he's still only 5-11 from three. He's trading possessions for bad shots. On a typical night for "this" Jeff Green, that's going to be 3-11

that. are you really saying you wish Jeff Green would do that more?

maybe he could just bring the ball up and try the half court shot every possession

Bass hands can block Wall on a fast break but can't catch simple passes?

I could block a shot easily with an oven mitt on. Harder to catch a pass with one on each hand.

Fair enough I guess I'm just surprised when he does anything

I think it was Booker that picked him up.  Sully sealed Gortat off in the post, preventing him from providing help at the rim.  Wallace made a great play, but Sully created that layup as much as anybody. 

geniusly coached today also.

Stevens put in Olynyk when our passing was brutal. Then in the 4th he rotated Bass, Hump and Sullinger to give presence under the basket

I think we have a good one.  Hopefully everyone is patient enough to allow the Celtics to build a competitive roster with him at the helm.  I think Stevens can win here as a coach.

I agree. We may not be winning much but we have been blown out rarely. We also have been so close to winning a lot of these games but we cant close... that's what happens to young teams.

Exactly!.......other than the Rockets ......this team has been in contention to win nearly every game to win , throwing th game away after dominating for 90 % of the game.

Brad has done a great job keeping them fighting  and trying

It was nice of the tankers to give us permission to win a game!!!
If you guys would watch a game instead of crying all the time you might just learn something!!!

Not sure who you are directing this babble to but the vast majority of posters in the game threads are hardcore celtic supporters and they do watch games..thus being called the GAME THREAD. plenty on the other board have given up watching and have admitted as much. try to keep up.
