Game Notes
The Celtics welcome Paul Pierce and the Brooklyn Nets to the Garden for the second time this season.  Kevin Garnett will miss his 4th straight game with back spasms and didn't make the trip.  This is the 3rd meeting between these two teams this season.  The Nets won both of the previous meetings.  They will meet once more on March 21 in Brooklyn.

The Celtics got are a little healthier with Kelly Olynyk back and he played very well in his return.  Avery Bradley's MRI was negative, but he is expected to miss at least another week. 

Jason Terry, who was traded to the Nets along with Pierce and Garnett, was traded to the Kings at the deadline, but Jason Collins, who played in 32 games for the Celtics last year will be making his first visit to the Garden since leaving the Celtics. 

Brooklyn has been playing well and has clawed their way back over .500.  They have won 4 in a row, while the Celtics have lost their last 2 games.  Brooklyn has won 15 of 16 games vs teams under .500 while the Celtics have lost 23 of 26 games vs teams over .500.  The Nets are a conference best 20-8 in the year 2014.

Rajon Rondo vs Deron Williams
This should be a good matchup between two veteran point guards.  Williams is averaging 14.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists this season. 

(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/brandon_bass.png)vs(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/paul_pierce.png)
Brandon Bass vs Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce has moved to the power forward and has been playing well there.  He is averaging 13.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.  This should be an interesting matchup to watch.

Keys to the Game
Defense
- The Celtics are coming off a game in which they played virtually no defense.  They haven't been playing defense as a team and have been allowing teams to score way too easily. They must get back to making tough team defense a priority if they hope to win. 

Run- The Celtics play best when they set the pace and run on every possession. They can get easy shots when they beat the defenses down the court. Now, the Celtics are the team with the young legs and should be able to tire the older Nets if they use that to their advantage.

Rebound- The Celtics must crash the boards to give themselves extra possessions and to prevent second chance baskets for the Nets.  The Celtics will need to put out extra effort if they want to win the rebounding battle.

Take Care of the Ball - Whether it was a lack of focus or the Warriors' defense, the Celtics turned the ball over way too many times on Wednesday. They need to keep their focus and take better care of the ball. Turnovers lead to easy baskets for the opponents.  The Nets have been
forcing 22.8 turnovers during their current win streak and so the Celtics have to be very careful not to give them easy opportunities.

Be Aggressive - The Celtics were too laid back and didn't put out much effort in the loss to the Warriors. They need to get their aggressiveness back and drive to the basket, dive for loose balls, go after rebounds. They have to be aggressive on defense and just play harder.

X-Factor
Pride
The Celtics stated after their loss to the Warriors that they are playing for pride now. Will that be enough to get them a win?

We'll see if it lasts.  There's a trend where these "shot doctors" work with someone... you usually see some immediate improvement initially, but as the season progresses, they regress back towards their natural norm.  There's not many success stories.

Boston playing good tonight.  I smell a win streak.

Bayless shoots the 3 at 30%.

I highly doubt that was the best shot Pressey could have gotten out of a 4 on 1.

Yeah we'll see.  I'm still not sold Rondo will be a "knockdown" 3 point shooter, but if he can shoot a respectable percentage, that's huge.  Free throws as well.

He was already a pretty good mid-range shooter from last season, so I expect that to continue.

that was a dumb pass out by pressey.

How about if Bayless got the three in?
Then lucky shot?

Bayless shoots the 3 at 30%.

I highly doubt that was the best shot Pressey could have gotten out of a 4 on 1.

Thank God you're all right Shak, I thought everyone died!

The amount of people are usually up and down, it depends on the game, who we play, or our record.

It's not you. That's just the way it has been lately. On the defensive end, he is not above the rim but mobile and covers alot of ground quickly. On the offensive end, he is getting to the line, if not making jump shots. Making sound passes, not turning over the ball and setting ridiculous picks

Green would be all NBA if he had a high basketball IQ to go with his physical gifts. And I'm not sure of he will ever get much smarter on the court. That's why I'm all for trading him.

That means you pound the ball all game? You have to adjust also. Our best quarter so far was the 2nd without rondo and he is having a nice scoring game. Rondo is overthinking out there like usual. Before he shoots he has to dance for 5 seconds. It frustrates me at times watching him play sigh

Quick passes. Move the ball to the open man. Play unselfish basketball like 2008. It's not as hard as it sounds. But Rondo makes things hard

This is my same argument when people complained about Avery Bradley shooting the ball too much. He is a shooting guard. By definition, that is what he is suppose to do.

Having said that, he wasn't always really good at it.

Yeah, I am really hoping KO's strength and general toughness around the rim will improve a bit by next year.  He is getting a bit more aggressive on O lately which is what we want to see, but still getting bullied around a bit.

I think some more strength and a little more nasty attitude would help him a lot!  I wish KG was here to get in his ear like he did JG last season.

that is one of my pet peeve's about Pressey.  He gets trapped on the baseline way too much without a plan to distribute the ball.  He is def a spark plug, but he is too small to pass over opposing bigs along the baseline like that.   He does it almost every game.

Pierce has really lost a step.   Even his ability to shoot that mid range jump shot

Danny made the move trading him

So... Joel Anthony is the worst player on the team?


He is just taking up space....till it is time to dump his contract.....he is worthless on the court

There goes Rondo pounding the ball again tonight.

We have shot the ball with less than 5 seconds like how many times tonight. 

This must also be driving the coaches crazy

I don't mind. I wish some of the other players would move without the ball though. Set some off ball screens, Bass!

lol of course you don't.   Rondo has to pass the ball and set screens also. 

you can't expect everyone else to work hard while you stand there pounding the ball.

Pg= distributor

That means you pound the ball all game? You have to adjust also. Our best quarter so far was the 2nd without rondo and he is having a nice scoring game. Rondo is overthinking out there like usual. Before he shoots he has to dance for 5 seconds. It frustrates me at times watching him play sigh
Why would the distributor be setting screens and moving off the ball that doesn't make sense. Rondo is waiting for the right pass as he sees fit. Who are we to argue with him?

Do you see Deron Williams doing what Rondo does??

Last night, did you see Parker doing what Rondo is doing vs the Heat??

Quick passes. Move the ball to the open man. Play unselfish basketball like 2008. It's not as hard as it sounds. But Rondo makes things hard
It is a lot harder than 2008. 3 hall of fame players vs bottom team in a miserably bad conference. It's not like he is playing with good NBA players.

Yeah...I was referring to what they put out on the court tonight.

But serious .....Nets can't win a series against Spurs, Heat, Pacers , OKC or Portland or even Rockets....... For a team that suppose to contend ....they are awful

hopefully there is some karma/stern's power in the lottery, because unlike a lot of the other bad teams, we aren't trying to shamelessly tank. granted, if the nets could hit anything tonight, they would've won, but still. also, yeah, those future #1's from the nets are going to be really really good, because this is as good as they're going to be for a few years.

I'm not talking about playoffs but people keep saying that BKN would have beaten us if they had a center and that they suck without KG... well, don't discount our win b/c BKN won 4 in a row b4 tonight and 3 of those games were WITHOUT KG! We played some good D most of the game. Hump especially. Green and Hump put the clamps on defense tonight.

The Nets are going to be bad for a while. They have no cap flexibility, have few tradable assets, and only have 1st round picks next year (Hawks get to flip spots) and 2017 (we get to flip spots). Barring miracles, I think their 2016-2018 picks will all be lottery picks and will all be ours.
