Game Notes
The series shifts back to the TD Garden and the Celtics are hoping that the change in venue will shift the momentum back their way.   These two teams have played 8 games this season and in each of those, the home team has come out the winner.  But, a change in the location is not all the Celtics need. 

The Celtics have allowed the Wizards to go on 16-0, 22-0 and 26-0 runs.  They were lucky to come back and win the first game after starting out in a 16 point hole.  They weren't able to come back after the two big runs in DC.  Along with coming home, the Celtics have some changes to make if they expect to win this series.  Just thinking that a move back to the Garden will be enough is a big mistake. 

The Celtics went back to Amir Johnson in the starting lineup for Game 4 and it seemed to work as they got off to a good start and the game was tied at half time.  But in just 5 minutes and 41 seconds of the 3rd quarter, the Wizards went on a 26-0 run and never looked back.  When asked at practice on Tuesday if he planned a change to the starting lineup the coach said no, but that there was a lot of time until the game.

The Wizards seem to be fully healthy and they list no players on the injured list.  Kelly Oubre will return from his one game suspension and will more than likely hear a lot of boos from the Celtics faithful at the Garden.  Markieff Morris' ankle appears to be healed as does Wall's ankle and wrist and Mahinmi's calf.   Avery Bradley is playing with a hip pointer on each side but said that he is feeling better and expects to play in this game. 

Key Matchups
(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Thomas_Isaiah_bos_1516.jpg) vs  (http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Wall_John_was1516.jpg)
Isaiah Thomas vs John Wall
Wall is coming off a big game in Game 4 and the Celtics have to figure a way to slow him down.  He is averaging 28.8 points, 11.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals.   Also, the Celtics have to find a way to get Isaiah open as they double and triple teamed him and kept him from being effective in the 2 games in DC.  This matchup is key on both sides.  The Celtics need IT to score and to lead the team and they also need to slow Wall down, especially in transition. 

(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Bradley_Avery_bos1617.jpg) vs (http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Beal_Bradley_was1516.jpg)
Avery Bradley vs Bradley Beal
Beal struggled somewhat in the first two games and that made it somewhat easier for the Celtics to get a win.  However, when the series shifted to DC, he found his shot and had big games for the Wizards.  He is averaging 23.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 steals.  Avery is playing with a hip pointer on each side and hopefully that won't hinder him from keeping Beal from having another big game. 

Honorable Mention
Amir Johnson vs Markieff Morris
This has been the matchup that the Celtics have struggled with.  Gerald Green started 2 games and Amir Johnson has started 2 games.  At this time, it looks like Amir may be in the starting lineup in this game as well.  The starters got off to a good start in game 4 and hopefully if he starts in this one, they can once again get off to another good start in this one.  They can't afford to start off in a 20 point hole if they want to get a win. 

Keys to the Game
Defense - The Celtics need to make defense a priority.   They especially need to contain the Wizards' talented back court.    The Celtics can't depend on trying to outscore the Wizards.  They have to stop them from scoring with tough team defense.  The Celtics have struggled to play consistent defense in this series and they have to find a way to dig down deep and play tough in your face defense from start to finish. 

Be Aggressive
- The Celtics need to be the more aggressive team from the opening tip to the final buzzer.   They need to be aggressive in going to the hoop, in crashing the boards, in fighting for loose balls and in running the court.  They also have to be more aggressive on defense.  They have to be the team that wants it more.  The Wizards were the more aggressive team and they played harder in DC.  The Celtics must turn that around and play harder and tougher if they want to get a win in this one. 

Rebound - In the first meeting between these two teams, a Celtics loss, the Celtics were out-rebounded 54-31 by the Wizards.  In the 2nd meeting, a Celtics win, the Celtics out-rebounded the Wizards 45-44.  In the third game, a loss, the Celtics were again out-rebounded 43-32.  In their 4th meeting, a Celtics win, the Celtics out-rebounded the Wizards 54-39.  It isn't a coincidence that the team that won each game had the rebounding edge.  In Game 1, the Celtics and Wizards both finished with 38 rebounds. In game 2, the Wizards out-rebounded the Celtics 44-41. The Celtics won those two games.   In Game 3 the Wizards out-rebounded the Celtics 50-38 and in Game 4 they out-rebounded the Celtics 45-31 and the Celtics lost.  When the Celtics put out the extra effort it takes to box out and crash the boards, they win but when they allow the Wizards to out-work them on the boards, they lose.  They MUST work harder to grab rebounds. 

Focus -  The Celtics at times can shoot the lights out and other times can't hit the broad side of a barn.  Much of that has to be their focus on taking good shots and taking their time with their shots and not rushing them.  They can't let the Wizards goading them or the lack of calls take their focus off of playing the game the right way.  They have to also realize that if the 3's aren't falling they must go to the basket or they will shoot themselves out of the game once again.  The Celtics seem to play very well for most of the games and then lose their focus for a short period each game and give the Wizards a big run.  They have to stay focused and not give the Wizards any chance to go on a run. 

Value Each Possession - The Wizards 26-0 run began with two shot clock violations by the Celtics.  They scored 19 of those 26 points on Celtics turnovers.   For the game, the Wizards scored 34 points off of Celtics turnovers.  The Celtics gave up 25 second chance points.  They have to stop turning the ball over and crash the boards and concentrate on their shot selection so that they don't give the Wizards a big run in this game. 

Everyone Contributes - The Celtics are built to have everyone contribute.  Avery and Jae  were just 4-18 in Game 4 and just 1-8 from beyond the arc. The starters, especially, have to come up big and no lose their focus.   Over 69 minutes, the Wizards starters have outscored the Celtics starters 45.2 points per 100 possessions.  They can't afford to have any or all of their rotation players give away the ball and miss their shots.  Every player has to contribute. 


X-Factors

Home Game - The Celtics are at home and in this series, especially, home court has been important.  Each game so far has been won by the home team.  The Wizards have lost 9 of their last 10 games at the Garden.  The Celtics need to get energy from the fans, who should be loud and make the Garden a very hostile arena for the Wizards. 

Backs Against the Wall - Technically, this isn't a must win game, but the Celtics do have their backs against the wall with the Wizards having the momentum and Game 5 is crucial to gaining an edge in the series.  If the Celtics lose, they HAVE to win in DC, and they haven't come close.  They have to win this game to keep their hopes in the series alive.  Typically, the Celtics play well in games where their backs are against the wall and hopefully that continues in this game. 

Officiating -  Officiating is always an x-factor. How the refs call the game has a big influence on how the teams play. Will they let them play or call every little bit of contact? Will they call it evenly or will they favor one team or the other. Will they be influenced by the home crowd?  It all effects the outcome of the game and most importantly, the Celtics need to adjust to the way the officials call the game.   After Game 4, IT called out the refs for allowing the Wizards to grab and hold him on every possession.  It will be interesting to see how that affects the officiating in this game.

TP FLCeltsFan!!!

Hopefully TD Garden is LOUD and ROCKING tomorrow!

Going to need everyone in Game 5.

Everyone is now counting us out after the last few games but I know the C's will bounce back like they always do when their backs are tightly against a wall.

My gut tells me Isaiah goes OFF and Crowder impresses us again.

Go C's!!!

PS - We're 2-0 in games where I'm one of the Top-3 posts in a game thread  ;)

Two main keys to the game is about controlling two things, IMO:
1. The glass
2. Pts off Turnovers

And it's not even about winning that battle. If the C's draw even in rebounding and TO's, they have the advantage.

Boston has to come out with max effort tonight. Have to win the 50/50 balls and hold their own on the glass.

Need to take good shots. Defend the entire game. Do that and they win.

Win tonight I think they win the series. Lose this one and the Wiz take it in 6 and we are all moving onto the offseason

Prediction -

Celts down double digits after 1st quarter.

Regain lead by halftime.

Tied heading into fourth quarter.

Isaiah Thomas versus Bradley Beal shootout in the 4th.

Winner of this game wins the series.


I hesitate to say who will win.  After the last two games it feels like the Wiz have this figured out, but I want to believe the Celts will right the ship at home.

No matter who wins this, it feels like a death march to the Cleveland firing squad.

Hope we get a good one tonight.  Felt great watching Game 2.

Everyone counting us out again and expecting the Wiz to take this one at TD Garden.

So of course that means this team is going to dominate this game and go back to Washington up 3-2.

The role players simply have to play better to get some of the pressure off of IT. If AB, Jae, and Smart can't play better and knock down open shots, I don't see how we win this series.

tommy doesn't sound too positive.

and Bradley needs to be gone, so sick of the injuries. one thing we can always count on with him he won't be 100% this time of yr., if he plays at all.

i'm almost willing to bet after hearing he's "feeling better" that the next game he'll either be out or be completely useless and non-existent.

I think people are being a bit too pessimistic. This Washington team is a COMPLETELY different team on the road. Further, our supporting cast should be much better at home than they were in Washington the last two games, so I don't see any blowout happening. I think it will be close until the end.

Yeah until we rip off a huge run and shove that blowout down their throats it'll be close

that Washington being a "completely different team on the road" concept isn't something to fall in love with. esp. considering they've had pretty much a 20 pt. lead(at least) in every game. all they have to do is play a lil better if they do that again.

IMO it's gonna depend on what type of calls IT gets on offense. Are the refs gonna let them play like crazed men, or will they call a tight game.

The C's need a response to the Wizards swarming all over IT, trapping him, and trying to turn him into a passer.

Should be interesting to see if the Celtics brain trust come up with anything different.

I think people are being a bit too pessimistic. This Washington team is a COMPLETELY different team on the road. Further, our supporting cast should be much better at home than they were in Washington the last two games, so I don't see any blowout happening. I think it will be close until the end.

that Washington being a "completely different team on the road" concept isn't something to fall in love with. esp. considering they've had pretty much a 20 pt. lead(at least) in every game. all they have to do is play a lil better if they do that again.

By that same token, we've yet to put together a full game, and we've barely put together one to two good halves. We're due for a really good all-around game, and I think it's tonight.

Tonight may be some of these guys' last game at the TD Garden in Celtics uniform.

That's a pretty pessimistic viewpoint.  Take it back.

Yeah, listen to salty.  We're going to win this one convincingly.

Salty knows best, but I'm very, very nervous about this one.

I hate it when the outlet pass is made to Bradley, or when he's asked to handle the ball in the half court.  But he made a good pass to Crowder there in transition.

I don't know if I trust Crowder to guard Bogdonavic.  His defensive awareness isn't the greatest, and he's prone to leave him open on the perimeter.

Problem solved I guess, Crowder being subbed out.

Personally, watching the game, I felt like Crowder and Johnson have been the most effective on D.

Crowder is jumping and switching on literally everything, especially when it involves Isaiah, who's stature isn't that large.

Marcus Smart looks overweight and slow. He has 0 confidence right now. I'd like to see his minutes limited until he gets his confidence back.

Rozier's defense on Wall there is something to tell your grandkids about. 

Crowder's hesitation dribble and drive to the basket was nice too.  He's the #1 option for the 2nd unit right now, and he's doing well with it.

Clutch 3 by Avery.  Wiz hitting some big shots in the last few minutes.  Thankfully C's didn't allow a huge run.   But C's need to keep the intensity going -- the Wizards can erase this lead in very little time.

Avery Bradley was just fantastic.

Even the shots the Wizards were making at the end of the half were generally contested.  They've had very few open looks, and have had to use a lot of the shot clock to get the few they've gotten.

The shots will stop falling at some point. The Celtics can't maintain this shooting. What they can do though is maintain the defensive effort and discipline, and keep the turnovers down. If they do that, they'll be fine.

IT is hurting us on defense.  Nothing complicated about what the Wizards are doing - they're running the offense through whoever he tries to guard.

He needs to hit shots for us to counter that. 

Aside from that, clean up the turnovers and we're fine.

Smart doing the little things again! I love these games from him when he just focuses on his defense, passing, playmaking, and making the right play. It's when he's asked to be a primary or secondary scorer is when he gets to be a detriment offensively out there. 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 stls so far.

12 minutes to go. LETS GO C'S!

Isaiah Thomas is due for some 4th quarter magic now.

If we do what we have to do, he can save that 4th quarter magic for another night.

What's the deal with Marcus? Is he injured?
Beal took out his ankle it looked dirty to me

He would have come out if that were the case. Pretty sure he just got hit in the plums

For the rest of this series, the team needs to run through Horford.  He is killing Washington from the field in this series, and he's too good a passer to double.

Celtics' young guys trying to make SportsCenter instead of just taking the right shot and making it.  News flash, guys:  SportsCenter is garbage now.  Not even worth getting on it.

Agree 100%. What the heck is he still doing in there. Heck, you could replace him with some guy sitting in the third row in the stands and we'd be okay. Likely nothing will happen to him, but what happens if Oubre gets frustrated and kicks him in the knee or something?

because this team that so clearly has a lot of talent somehow has managed to allow Washington to drop 38 in a quarter 4 times in 5 games.

I do love this team, and Im sure that untill we lose our next one everyone else will too, but lets not forget that 24 hours ago plenty of people really didnt love this team and not all of their points were invalid.

Solid production from the bench. Consistent energy on the glass and in transition defense. Great shooting from Horford and Bradley. Good time-outs/rotations by Brad.

Very pleased, especially with IT having a quiet game by his standards. The Celtics won't shoot the lights out the next game, but they should have enough to take one in Washington. I'd rather not leave it to a Game 7.

Come to think of it, I'm glad PP isn't on the Wiz anymore.  I would have hated in a way if we beat the Wiz and sent him to retirement that way.

I was thinking about this earlier: more guys on the Wizards have played with Paul Pierce than guys on the Celtics (only Bradley and Green)

I think people are being a bit too pessimistic. This Washington team is a COMPLETELY different team on the road. Further, our supporting cast should be much better at home than they were in Washington the last two games, so I don't see any blowout happening. I think it will be close until the end.
Yeah until we rip off a huge run and shove that blowout down their throats it'll be close

Yes and no. If we give the Cavs a good series and steal at least two games, then I think it's unequivocally an excellent season. But making the ECF and getting swept by the Cavs in convincing fashion like the Raptors would still make me question where we're at a bit.

I don't think that happens, though. I think we actually make a series out of the Cavs series, and I think Washington would give them some trouble, too. Cavs are certainly favored, but I do think it will be a competitive 6 or so game series.

When Bradley and Jae and Marcus and Kelly all suck. We are really easy to beat. when they all show up, we can beat anyone on any given day.

There was one instance in the 4th where Was got a mini-run and was frustrated at Olynyk for passing up shot after shot, or hesitating and burning precious time on the clock. He got bailed out by Smart a couple of times, but it got me wondering if Olynyk couldve scored more if he had IT's mentality.

Horford was BRILLIANT. Bradley was BRILLIANT. IT and Crawford were OKAY, PRETTY GOOD ON BALANCE. All our role players brought it. Washington did us a solid by being completely unprepared, but we still took it to them.

I really think that Jaylen Brown played very well defensively especially in his first stint tonight. Smart was huge at key times as usual but Horford and AB were phenomenal.


One thing I don't understand is how they continually let Gortat play with his hands on anybody and everybody and he never gets called?

Is this team bipolar or what ? :P

I was excited after the great first quarter but thought we were due for a letdown at some point and a Washington comeback... but the Celtics were in control for the entire game. Impressive knowing we've been running from behind for much of the series.

AB was due for a good game but wow, I didn't expect such a great one. Hopefully he can do the same in game 6 (or simply be more consistent, although his injury probably doesn't help). IT was a great facilitator and I thought Amir set the tone defensively so good move to start him.

Washington missed a lot of easy shots too so I guess homecourt advantage really paid off. Would be nice to close it out in DC but it probably will go to a game 7 considering how the series has shaked out.

Don't know if this was mentioned. But sometime in the 2nd half (late 3rd quarter or early 4th, not sure which), when Jae Crowder was really struggling. He had just shot a horrible air ball.  Several players came in right after to substitute. But Brad kept Jae, who looked like he expected to come out, in the ball game.  He seemed surprised that he wasn't. I sure was.  From that point on, he quickly scored some points, and it completely seemed to transform him.

That was really cool to see.

Awesome to see how mature and down-to-Earth Brown is already. He knows how good of a situation this is for him.
