Game Notes
The Celtics take on the Sixers for the second time in a week.  They lost the first meeting on a last second shot by Evan Turner and will be looking for some revenge in this one. This is the second of 4 meetings between these two teams.  They will meet twice more in April. 

The Sixers have lost 3 in a row since winning that game vs the Celtics.  They are 8-16 at home and 2-8 in their last 10 games.  The Celtics are coming off a win over the Magic and are 3-7 in their last 10 games and 6-18 on the road. 

When they played last week, the Celtics were just percentage points ahead of the Sixers for the 3rd and 4th worst records in the East. Since that time, the Sixers have moved into the 3rd worst record with the Celtics 1 game behind them with the 4th worst record. 

Avery Bradley has returned to the lineup since they last played.  With Avery back, the Celtics are at full strength.  Vitor Faverani was assigned to the Red Claws once again on Tuesday but may be back with the team in time for this game. 

Key Matchups

Avery Bradley vs Michael Carter-Williams
Carter-Williams is in the running for rookie of the year.  He has been playing very well, averaging 17.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/jeff_green.png)vs(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/evan_turner.png)
Jeff Green vs Evan Turner
In the last game, Evan Turner burned the Celtics on the last second shot for the win.  He is averaging 17.9 points, 6 rebounds and 3.8 assists and burned the Celtics for 16 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in the last game. 

Honorable Mention
Jared Sullinger vs Spencer Hawes
In the first meeting between these two teams, Hawes scored 20 points and pulled down 8 rebounds.  Sully needs to tighten the defense on him in this game. 

Defense - As always, defense is key to winning.  The Celtics have been slipping on defense and allowing teams to score way too many easy baskets, especially in the paint, including the very easy game winner by Turner in their last meeting.  They must play better on the defensive end if they want to get back to winning.

Take Care of the Ball
- The Celtics tend to turn the ball over way too much. They need to keep their focus and make smart passes and avoid the costly turnovers that almost always lead to a score for the other team.

Rebound - Rebounding is mostly effort and desire and when the Celtics put the effort on the glass it usually shows up in other areas also. They have to rebound on both ends to keep the Sixers from getting second chance points and to give themselves more chances to score. 

Be Aggressive - The Celtics need to stay aggressive. They have to be more aggressive going to the hoop and not settling for outside shots, especially if they aren't falling. They have to be aggressive on defense, in going after loose balls, and in going after rebounds. They have to be the team that wants it more.

Run - The Celtics have to run on every possession. Too often they walk the ball up the court. When they run, they get easy shots before the defenses set up. They have to set the pace right from the beginning and keep it up through the final buzzer.

X-Factors
Focus and Revenge
The Celtics are on the road and need to keep their focus on doing what works for them in spite of the hostile crowd.  They should have revenge on their minds for the loss that the Sixers handed them last week.

Hoping to see another good Rondo game.  I know it was the Magic last game, but I was still very impressed with his scoring.  He shot really well.  Even had a hook shot in the paint.

And 10 assists.

But this isn't on National TV so no guarantees.

As for BOLD PREDICTIONS,  how about  Brandon Bass to lead the game in scoring and rebounding, Jeff Green to get 5 blocks, and Phil Pressey to hit the game winner.

Between tonight and Friday's games, we are probably gonna see some moment in the tank-tastic standings. Lakers are playing Cleveland right now.

Then on friday, the celtics play Sacramento, while the lakers take a turn in philly. Someone has to win these games.

I'd imagine he's frightened by what MCW would do to Pressey. Bayless isn't a great PG or anything but he's more credible than Pressey, especially against a big point.

  Rondo's really trying to feed Green. Jeff could help his own cause if he could knock down a free throw.
Well he's been aggressive with it and its paid off overall after our scoring drought. That 3 was big.

Good news from Cleveland -- Lakers up by 22 near the half.  Rooting for Lakers to win -- somewhere very hot is freezing over right now.

I just don't believe in playing the combo guard when you got a true pg rotting on the bench. Who by the way plays a similar style as Rondo.
I'd imagine he's frightened by what MCW would do to Pressey. Bayless isn't a great PG or anything but he's more credible than Pressey, especially against a big point.

I think Stevens can't figure out how to get minutes for all the  guards and small forwards if he plays Pressey.
Naw he got minutes against the Magic, its a match up issue tonight. MCW worked him on the game 1-29.

Rondo truly is a difference maker. Remember when people used to say he was only good because of the big 3? lol

Yeah rondo has a chip on his shoulder. The guy is a legit top 5 point guard. Even with the rust he thinks the game so well.  So good at everything but that outside shot. And that shot had been coming along in recent years.

The Celtics do not care to use a center.......we have all we need to post KO...sully on the rebound side.....rondo outside for the feed...green on the move...down the middle......money every time....KO is good.....but they never let him get the ball where he should get it....

Dang, Philly is really good at this tanking thing. The amount of open looks we get is silly.

Good thing is that Rondo is looking good out there.(9 assists, only 1 turnover) It's going to be interesting to see him on Sunday vs Dallas, a team that's trying to win games.

you missed that game where he had 20 pts..? Or more...a player who knows he will never get a pass inside gets cold....the C's have little role ever for a center....it took forever for even perkins to get a pass in the paint..!!!  KO has more skills than you think....I have seen...

I wish Olynyk was playing more minutes but you are wrong on tanktology thing. If Stevens was really trying to tank Kelly would play more, his defense is suspect to say the least.

Speaking of tanking, interesting quote from Moultrie:

“It’s not my ankle. It’s not my conditioning,” Moultrie said, to Chris Vito of the Delaware County Daily Times, prior to Monday night’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
“But at this point, I really don’t care. I’m just sick of all the excuses. If it ain’t one thing, it’s another thing.”
“I’ve been good for the last month,” Moultrie said to Vito.

Yeah i get a little frustrated when i see too much playing time for the guys who are not part of the future. :-/

Although that has more to do with humphries taking minutes from olynyk and faverani.

If your not sure if its a foul, don't call it. Way too many little tick tack calls , it slows the game down brutally

Yeah. I want bass or humphries gone at the deadline. If they are both still here past then, humphries should get reacquainted with the bench.

There is no reason to have 4 power forwards who all need minutes again next year.

I hear you. In fact I heard you before you wrote *sippin* and gave you a TP for all the great times I've *sipped* along with you (like right now). And I agree. I always want the Cs to win. But, sometimes the solace from losing is: a better draft pick. That's all I meant by that.

Rondo having another decent game but is reminding me of the version that i hate. Just pounding the ball all night long and players standing around.

If he is healthy and this is the way its going to go again (continuing from last year), i don't mind if Danny trades him.

Most elite point guards need to slow it down and pound the ball up the court for a good chunk of the game. No need to run when the defense is already set.

Chris Paul does this, tony Parker, etc.

Do you really want to see Pressey playing over rondo?

We are watching different games. I see the celtics crossing half court within 4 seconds, then rondo most often finds some one within a few seconds for a shot, or to get things moving. He is the only creator on the floor.

i miss Pressey.

Rondo having another decent game but is reminding me of the version that i hate. Just pounding the ball all night long and players standing around.

If he is healthy and this is the way its going to go again (continuing from last year), i don't mind if Danny trades him.

Rondo has been fantastic tonight! I saw lots of nice transition offense, speedy movement in the half court, and some pounding. A good mix.

he is walking up with the ball almost every possession. Hurry it up a little geez

Most elite point guards need to slow it down and pound the ball up the court for a good chunk of the game. No need to run when the defense is already set.

Chris Paul does this, tony Parker, etc.

Do you really want to see Pressey playing over rondo?

I want to see Rondo play properly. With intensity

Paul and Parker do not walk it up almost every possesion. Parker especially is increasing the speed for SA

So does Chris Johnson survive?

Perhaps it depends on if Danny things he needs the extra tax wiggle room and roster spot to swing a trade in the next 2 weeks.

Rondo c;mon. Walking it up the court, wasting like 10 seconds
We're winning..you run the clock.

against a crappy 76rs team.

Every time he brings it up, almost 10 seconds are gone. Then he has to make it an adventure to get a basket. 

Move the ball around and get easy baskets. It doesn't have to be difficult
yeah, because this team was getting lots of easy baskets until he came back   ::)

why are you defending his bad habits?

I guess Rondo can do no wrong in some peoples eyes.

I don't want to be a downer but we lose tonight against a semi decent team. Rondo needs to play better everything. Starting with not walking up to mid court. At least jog up to there. How lazy can you be? lol
no need to defend what's actually happening on the court.  Rondo was the best player out there by far regardless of Green having his semi-monthly scoring touch.

Don't know what game you were watching tonight but Rondo played fine.

Another solid game for Rondo... you can almost smell the teams cooking up their trade offers.

Defintely. But i dont think Danny ainge is gonna like the smell of what they are cooking. No one is going to surrender a young all star for him. And then whichever team were to add rondo will be too good to give the celtics a high lottery pick.

Yep. The celtics should settle in around 5 or 6 when it is all said and done. With rondo back they are better than Cleveland, Philly, Milwaukee and orlando.

With cousins back, i think Sacramento is going to win some games. And then Utah is better than their record, and improving steadily with a real point guard on their team in Burke.

It's hard to draw conclusions when you play a D-league team but Rondo looked really good, almost a triple double. Really encouraging.
Also, if Green played like this every night he would be an all star.

If I am not wrong, 7th in reverse standings after this win. Win against Kings will destroy our tank completely :)

I see the team finishing 4 or 5 because Danny will trade a few vets(Bass, Green and maybe hump) but I think we end up with a top 5 pick.

Naw, i think the celtics will be right where they have been all along, playing .333 ball, winning 1 out of every 3 games.

In order to make the playoffs they would have to finish the season with a 18-14 record.

Nah it won't, this is an easy stretch for us. We're still due in for a lot of losses in the coming months against actual teams.

I'd say this team's ceiling is 30 wins which would destroy the tank unless we're 08 Bulls. Wouldn't surprise me if we finish with less even if we're already at 17. Season is more than halfway over and we're still inconsistent. Some good pieces, but not a great roster, and once DA sells at the deadline we'll be even worse. Can't play Philly every night

  With Parker as point guard the Spurs have more years near the bottom of the league in pace than they have near the top. They had a couple of years recently where they played quickly but that was a big change from what they've done for most of Parker's career.

here's something to brighten your day

The teams that get better picks than us this year will have a nice young stud to help them be better next year.  We'll probably still get a decent prospect but not someone who's going to be an all-star right off the bat.  As a result, we'll have a better draft position next year since we'll be worse than those teams and get a very nice pick in another deep draft in 2015 -- a draft projected to be deep in big men.

30 wins is being generous, but the fact is that win against another tanking team is 'worth' double. Orlando, Philly, Kings.. that's too much to overcome.

I think 4th or 5th spot is realistic at the end of season, which might not be so bad, cause I have a silly feeling that top tankers will drop 3 spots at the lottery like in 2007, when Grizzlies, us and Bucks fell to 4th, 5th and 6th spot.

I'm guessing we end up with pick #6.
Just outside the sweet spot. But, it'll be a loaded draft so I'm not too worried. The bigger question is what all the picks and expiring a get traded for: a talk stiff from Texas? A misfit forward from Detroit? Time will tell....

Stevens better get glasses then. 

You tell me. Did Rondo push the pace, especially in the 2nd half? Sometimes he is dribbling way back there with like 12-13 seconds left. Is that easy basketball?  Its stressful for other players when they receive the pass to have to come up with something to get a basket in

Tommy says enough time, push the ball up the court. And of course Rondo does the opposite alot of the time. Why are you letting the defense settle in?

  We weren't playing any faster a few years ago than we are now, in fact we probably played at a slower pace. People have been complaining about the Celts slowing the pace down in the 4th quarter since KG and Ray showed up on the team.

  Rondo rushes the ball up when there's any transition opportunity. When there isn't he slows things down a little and sets something up in the half court offense. He's been like that for years.

Thank you. When people say pace it doesn't mean run the ball on EVERY play. Some possessions need to be slowed down and he does throw the ball ahead if the situation presents itself. People act like he's the only player or pg that walks the ball up the court sometimes.
