Game Notes
The Celtics come into Game 4 with a bit of confidence thanks to a surprising come from behind win on the road in Game 3.  The Cavs, especially LeBron James, will come into this game looking to avenge that loss and will certainly look to start strong and try to put the Celtics away early.  But the Celtics now know that they can beat the Cavs (even with the Cavs shooting 24 more free throws) and will try to make it two wins in a row. 

Amir Johnson missed practice on Monday and was expected to get an MRI on his injured shoulder.  He suffered the injury when Tristan Thompson put him in an arm bar similar to the one that Kelly used on Kevin Love and with a similar result, a sprained shoulder.   However, Kelly was suspended for it while Thompson didn't even get called for a foul for the same move. 

Amir is listed as a game time decision.  Even if he is ok to play, it's not a guarantee that he will remain in the starting lineup.  The Celtics have been outscored by 23 points during Johnson’s 26 minutes of playing time during this series.  He was a -15 in his time in Game 3 before the injury.  Brad Stevens would not comment on his starting lineup for tonight's game in his interview this afternoon and that may mean another change in the lineup is coming. 

Amir is out for this game and Kelly Olynyk will start in his place.   Isaiah is expected to miss his second straight game with a hip injury.  Edy Tavares is once again expected to be out for the Cavs.  Deron Williams missed shootaround with an illness and is a game time decision for this game. 

Key Matchups
(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203109.png) vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/lebron_james.png)
Jae Crowder vs LeBron James
LeBron had a very unLebron-like game in Game 3, scoring just 11 points and 6 turnovers.   He will more than likely come out on a mission to erase that game from his mind and so the Celtics have to be ready for extreme LeBron.  It would be nice if the Celtics can keep him off his game once again but that may be too much to ask for. 

(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203482.png)  vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/kevin_love.png)
Kelly Olynyk vs Kevin Love 
Kelly Olynyk will get his first start of the post season in place of Amir Johnson who was injured in game 3.  Love has killed the Celtics from beyond the arc and Kelly must stay with him and keep him from having another big game.   I was expecting Jonas to get the start after his big game on Sunday, but Kelly gets the nod in this one. 

Honorable Mention
Marcus Smart vs Kyrie Irving
Marcus was huge in Game 3, hitting 7 of 10 three pointers for 27 points.   His defense also helped the Celtics to lock down the Cavs in the second half as the Celtics came back from a 21 point deficit.  The Celtics will need another big game from Marcus if they hope to get a win in this one. 

Keys to the Game
Defense Defense Defense!! Defense is key to winning every game.  The Celtics must concentrate on getting stops and keeping the Cavaliers from scoring at will.  After getting whatever they wanted on offense in the first two games, the Celtics locked down on defense in the second half of Game 3 and that allowed them to get the win.  The Celtics must once again lock down on defense in this game if they want to get a win. 

Rebound - The Celtics can't score if they don't have the ball. They must crash the boards as a team to prevent the Cavs from getting second chance and fast break points.  They also need to rebound to give themselves extra possessions and to fuel their running game.  The Celtics did a better job of crashing the boards and getting second chance points in the second half of Game 3.  They have to once again crash the boards as a team and work hard to beat the Cavs to rebounds. 

Be Aggressive  -  The Celtics must be the more aggressive team.  They have to beat the Cavs to every loose ball and win the 50/50 plays.  They have to be aggressive on the boards and in driving into the paint and to the basket.  They have to be the team that works harder and the team that wants it more.  The Celtics found their heart in Game 3 and played harder in the second half and they must do that again in this game.   

Focus - The Celtics have to remain focused and block out the distractions of playing on the road.  They have to focus on taking good shots and they have to make them.  They have to focus on playing tough in your face defense.  And they have to focus on playing Celtics basketball regardless of what the Cavs are doing.  They must keep their focus for the entire game and not let up until the final buzzer. 

X-Factors
On the Road - The Celtics have been a good road team all season.  They won 3 road games against the Bulls in the first round.  They weren't able to win on the Wizards court, but they were able to get a win on the road in Game 3.   They have to focus on playing the game the right way and block out the distractions of playing in a hostile arena.  Hopefully the Cavs will let up just enough for the Celtics to steal another game on their home court. 

Officiating - As always, the officiating is an x-factor. Every crew officiates differently and teams never know what to expect. Sometimes they let them play and other times they call a foul on every possession. Some games they call evenly and others they favor one team or the other. It's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolate... you never know what you are going to get.  In most games against the Cavs, the Cavs seem to get the benefit of way too many calls. The Celtics must play through it and not let the officials take them out of the game if that happens.  The Cavs definitely got a friendly whistle in Game 3, taking 36 free throws to just 12 for the Celtics, ignoring Thompson's arm bar that dislocated Amir's shoulder, just to name one non-call.

TP FLCeltsFan!!

Keep fighting C's! We believe in you! Win or lose I just want to see effort and hustle out there again like in Game 3! Body them up!

Come out and play with the same defensive intensity, but this time, MAKE THE OPEN SHOTS. Pressure them early!

Hopefully the guys, especially the bench again, continue to score, because unfortunately I doubt we see another Smart 27-point game for a while (though that WOULD be sweet).

More Jerebko and Brown, and less Amir please CBS.

LETS GOOO C's!!!!

Hope that Game 3 win convinced free agents to look take a deep look at Boston during the summer. It proved that they play with heart and they fight like warriors despite having their backs against the wall.

Get this win and we just might have a series again.

That was hilarious how they were 17-point favorites in Game 3 and they got beat without IT4 at the Q.

I heard on the radio that Amir has a sprained AC joint. Not sure if he will play/start. CBS might have to shuffle the starting lineup again.

Should Amir start?
with the injury, no. Wouldnt be surprised to see any of Jonas, Kelly, or Gerald getting the start instead.

brad tends to be unpredictable with the starters tho, wouldnt shock me if he decided to start Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing Zeller or Mickey to keep the bench consistent.
Will Kevin Love keep on shooting like this?
He will cool down a bit, but we are leaving him too open. He will kill you if you dare him too.
What is the minimum offensive production needed from Smart?
I think you need ~15 and 6 with upwards of 40% shooting.

Not too farfetched as when he started at guard this year he averaged 12 and 5 on 39% shooting.

For me, the scoring needs to come from AB. hes the only guy on the team who can really be a threat to drop 20 or even 30 points. Need him to hit his jumpers.

Amir is questionable for tonight and a game time decision. Stevens was tight-lipped this morning about who starts tonight, and Marc D'Amico says that usually means a change is coming.

Hopefully that means he's realeasing the Swedish Larry Bird on Cleveland tonight!

I highly doubt the Cavaliers will blow another 20 point lead.

For the C's to have a chance, they need to hit open shots early and pressure them a bit.

Hopefully Love/Irving don't come out blazing away from beyond the arc again.

The defense was great all game but in the first half, they couldn't do much for those 3s..

What source? Haven't seen any of the regular Celtics guys report it yet.

Not sure how I feel about KO starting. I certainly like it better than Amir starting, but I'm not sure if KO can deal with their frontcourt's physicality as much as JJ.

Hey all.  Believe it or not I am in Cleveland right now -- at the airport waiting for a delayed flight to Boston that is now scheduled to leave at 9:00.   I am terribly un-tech savvy -- is there a way for me to watch the game while flying? 
  Traveling Jet blue.

Jet Blue has TVs and I think TNT is one of their channels, so enjoy.

Yeah, you picked the right airline for catching the game. Just get to your seat early and settle in and enjoy!

KO finally in the starting lineup? Awesome. I've been asking for this for years now. Can't believe Gerald Green and Tyler Zeller got the call before he did.  If only he can avoid getting four fouls in the first minute-and-a-half ...
Either the C's have given up on the ridiculous notion that they can sign him on the cheap this summer or they are looking for a poor start and an excuse to bench him for most of the remainder of this series.  His usage in the 1st 5 minutes should clarify which.

Not much of a choice with IT out (and Smart in, Sunday not withstanding). We need to replace his shooting. The Gerald Green experiment showed this.

Hopefully we can get Wiz game 7 KO.

NOICE!!

This team is NOT afraid of the Cavs, unlike the team of the first two games. I think the play of Smart and JJ, who are both tough, hard-nosed players, has a lot to do with that, too.

I think our much greater focus on the defensive end with this group is part of that, too.

I'm still beside myself at that Horford call. NBA cannot let that kind of stuff pass.

That was the worst of the bad calls against us tonight. It also put Al in foul trouble early.

Bradley trying a dumb long two with James on him.

True, but I'd say Wall is a better scorer than Kyrie is a creator. Wall also seems to have far better feel, knowing when to score and when to involve others. Kyrie very much has a "score, score, score" mentality.

Okay, people, when do we start asking the inevitable question: are our defensive gains with Smart instead of IT (along with the better TEAM ball and ball movement offensively) actually an overall positive for the Celtics?

We still need to make up the iso scoring for IT's absence, but I think yes.

I have no idea what's going on. I'm enjoying it, whatever it is. But, boy is this bizarre.

why bc you can't believe this team CAN play without IT4?

miss the little guy but this team right now....  no words

Well, usually when you lose by 44 at home then lose an All-NBA Second Team player, you don't go on to win two in a row on the road against the defending champions.

Okay, people, when do we start asking the inevitable question: are our defensive gains with Smart instead of IT (along with the better TEAM ball and ball movement offensively) actually an overall positive for the Celtics?

We still need to make up the iso scoring for IT's absence, but I think yes.
If we win 2 games in Cleveland that argument starts to move from hot take to serious argument

If Smart was having a decent game scoring, it may be worth asking but he's only got 3 points and is 0-1 in the game. 

I will say that the ball movement is much greater without IT dominating the ball.

If the half ends with only a lead in single digits, I'll be disappointed.

Me too. They way Cleveland's playing, Boston needs to step on their throat and rip their heart out ASAP, especially with James on the bench.
Not what I was hoping for, but not single digits!  8) 8) 8)

The advantage the C's have is Lebron now probably won't be as aggressive.

Cavs will be super screwed if he gets #5 before the 4th quarter.

Why the heck didn't they put Smart on Kyrie earlier? Bradley was a frickin' sieve against him.

I'm glad the halftime lead is double-digits, but I'm disappointed it's only 10—should've been at least 20.

I can just imagine the Cavs coming out guns blazing in the third and eliminating this lead quickly. Boston almost always lets up when things are going well; they won't sniff a title until they correct that bad habit.

I guess it's about perspective: Had I not been following the game, then checked at halftime and saw they're up 10, I'd be ecstatic. But because I saw how many chances they had to get a significantly bigger lead, I'm bummed.

I'm happy, of course, that they're winning. But I know that you have only so many chances against good teams to put them away.

I'm guessing there's a hidden injury that's not been reported, because I don't think him just playing "bad" can explain this.

I'm not there with Brown yet, but when he's out there and being guarded by JR Smith or Deron Williams, give it to him on the block or go to the hoop.  With Lebron out of the game they have no shot blocking (I know that Thompson can block shots but that's not his primary skill), so get to the basket. 

Now if only we had a forward who could post up we could go to him against Lebron on the first play of the third quarter, give him an up-fake and see what happens.  He might be a little anxious, although I doubt it, and you've got to take advantage of it like Bird's teams used to do, routinely.  Never mind, no one plays like that anymore, lol ;D.

Yeah, it would be nice to see our team take advantage of mismatches more often. Or try to get certain players in foul trouble. Or try to get the opponent in foul trouble as a team.

The one downside to LeBron sitting out those final 6 minutes or so in the half, is that's 6 minutes of rest LeBron normally doesn't get.  Might be a little fresher now come the 4th.

This is going to be one of the most painful or satisfying halves of bball since sliced bread.

I think you're right. If the Cs win, awesome! If they lose, it means they blew a 16-point lead, a 10-point halftime lead.

Looks like it'll be the latter, unfortunately.  So tough to blow such a great opportunity.

No doubt in my mind about what happened: LeBron went to the bench, and the Celtics thought their lead would automatically swell without any effort on their part.

What ticks me off the most is that most of these turnovers have been unforced. It's not like Cleveland ramped up their D and started forcing turnovers, we've just been giving it up to them.

Yup. These guys just wilted.

Should have gone up by more when they had the chance.

Yup. Can't help but feel we missed an opportunity with LeBron on the bench.

No doubt in my mind about what happened: LeBron went to the bench, and the Celtics thought their lead would automatically swell without any effort on their part.

And apparently no one wants to try playing D on Irving.
This team seems to constantly be confusing good fortune with good play. Hence, the results. I'm not sure I'd be watching Q4, time for more beer.

Smart does, but they keep putting Bradley on him. Bradley and Crowder's "defense" has been the most disappointing development(?) this season.

Well, that, and we'd give him a switch with Olynyk seemingly at will.

And I have a hard time lauding Stevens' coaching ability when he sticks with Bradley on Irving.

I'm glad The Celtics aren't panicking like people on this list!

Seriously? They look like their panicked and flustered. Bad shot after bad shot, turnovers, terrible defense. Barely a single good thing about that third quarter.

No, that's Kyrie when you're giving him a straight lane to the basket. Step up and make him pass...

... nah, we'll just switch Zeller on him. We got this.

Within striking distance going into the 4th. I expect Kyries ankle to tighten up a bit during this break.

Kyrie got hot, but that's all I'm giving them. Cs started the third like garbage and have only gotten worse. And Brad did them no favors by insisting on keeping Bradley on Irving. Celtics played a great game and a half, but this half they've reverted to Games 1 + 2 Celtics.

That's why the Cavs are so hard to guard.  They can cheat and get away with it.  From Kyrie's 3 step layups to LeBron's blatant pushoffs, palming violations, and travels. 

You need superstars who are allowed to cheat.  Makes winning chips that much easier.

I mean the Cavs have been scoring at will, but that's what happens when you have one of the top players of all time and one of the best offensive guards in the league.

Good freaking grief, that is some atrocious reffing. Blatant charge by Lebron with no call.

I bet $100 that LBJ wouldn't foul out of the game.  I was doubtful he'd even get #5.

It's official. We're not winning anything with high school defense. Thanks, Brad, switch more. I want to see more LeBron against Jerebko iso.

It's been my biggest gripe this entire series.  I just don't understand switching our bigs onto LBJ.  We don't have anyone even close to capable of even slowing him down in iso situations.

It's harder for LBJ to knock down bigs...

We've been talking about this for years.

When the games get tight in the 4th quarter, especially in the playoffs, you need a star player who can step up and get you buckets. Yeah, yeah, our defense is the main culprit for the Cavs' resurgence, but a guy who could go unconscious on the offensive end would help immensely right now.

Really hate the way we lost this game. It was just dumb decision after dumb decision from the starters to the bench to the coaching. The dumb insistence on keeping AB and Rozier on Irving in the third when they could do nothing to stop him was a major part of this loss. Stevens has to get better at those adjustments. There was just no justification to continue with those matchups, even after bringing in Smart, the only guy to slow Kyrie down at times tonight.

Yes, Gordon Hayward averaged 21.9/5.4/3.5 on 59.5% TS with 27.6% USG by "handing it off to Rodney Hood and standing in the corner." Strong analysis.

we needed IT to counter his scoring .

Doesn't seem like they've done it as much this series as last series. But Kyrie wasn't even trying to get the switches because he was taking all of our guards sans Smart with ease anyways.

But I definitely agree. I've never understood why most NBA teams always switch the screen every single time, even when they're not really forced to.

No, they didn't. They played scared, lazy and dumb. At least when it mattered.

Exactly this.  Which is mind-boggling to me,  I can't wrap my head around that.  I don't mind that they lost, I care how they lost.  And it was clear as day that game was over before the end of the 3rd qtr.

How can Smart be so bad taking it to the hoop?

Really disappointing guard defense from our guys tonight. That is the only thing at which we are elite.

Nice first half, I guess.

Its because he has no explosion. He cant get any vertical leaping off from one foot and hes slow. Its not enough just to be strong if a guy like Kyle Korver can stick to your hip.

He needs to lose a little weight. He needs the extra quickness

Why didn't we try to get a 5th and 6th on LBJ.

I'm so ready for Hayward in place of Crowder, get it done.

I hope the reporters pound this on CBS

why not PNR with the man LEbron is guard everytime....  say its horford. Have him drive on Lebron consistently

3rd quarter Kyrie killed the Celts (bc CBS plays Zeller)
4th quarter Lebron killed the Celts (bc CBS inability to exploit him on the defensive end)

Cant wait for the Gordon Hayward upgrade over Jae. He belongs as a bench energy 3 and D guy.

Hayward can handle the ball and make plays. The ball shouldn't be in JC hands unless he's shooting an open 3.
Of course he can. When he's not handing off to the likes of Rodney Hood and standing in the corner. It might be a small sample, but that's what I've seen from him.

Mental mistakes and non-adjustments from the coaches on d cooked us in this one.  The J Crowder turnovers killed us multiple times when if we can keep picking away at the lead it might have made a difference.

With Kyrie we needed to do something to adjust our d on him.  It was literally layup after layup.  We are better than that, should have started doubling him or try something Seles.

But overall more great effort from our guys that is the thing you love.  Let's try to get game 5 at home and see what happens

Post by: kozlodoev on May 23, 2017, 10:59:34 PM
Really hate the way we lost this game. It was just dumb decision after dumb decision from the starters to the bench to the coaching. The dumb insistence on keeping AB and Rozier on Irving in the third when they could do nothing to stop him was a major part of this loss. Stevens has to get better at those adjustments. There was just no justification to continue with those matchups, even after bringing in Smart, the only guy to slow Kyrie down at times tonight.
The truth is this matters very little when he can get a switch whenever he wants and onto whoever he wants.

Doesn't seem like they've done it as much this series as last series. But Kyrie wasn't even trying to get the switches because he was taking all of our guards sans Smart with ease anyways.

But I definitely agree. I've never understood why most NBA teams always switch the screen every single time, even when they're not really forced to.
At least this game, I saw him switch on Jerebko, Zeller, and Olynyk multiple times. And then a handful of times on the other guard.

I can't explain why we're watching this type of defense in an NBA playoff game. It's not going to win you anything. Can someone please tell Brad this is not the NCAA anymore?

If you're asking whether I'm having fun watching the team revert to a pumpkin because the coach can't enforce a winning game plan for 48 minutes -- I don't. And neither should you.

It's just his personality.  No doubt he's a very good coach and only just beginning, but I don't see him ever encouraging guys to put Kyrie on his ass when he continually walks to the rim for layups.

Really hate the way we lost this game. It was just dumb decision after dumb decision from the starters to the bench to the coaching. The dumb insistence on keeping AB and Rozier on Irving in the third when they could do nothing to stop him was a major part of this loss. Stevens has to get better at those adjustments. There was just no justification to continue with those matchups, even after bringing in Smart, the only guy to slow Kyrie down at times tonight.
The truth is this matters very little when he can get a switch whenever he wants and onto whoever he wants.

Doesn't seem like they've done it as much this series as last series. But Kyrie wasn't even trying to get the switches because he was taking all of our guards sans Smart with ease anyways.

But I definitely agree. I've never understood why most NBA teams always switch the screen every single time, even when they're not really forced to.
At least this game, I saw him switch on Jerebko, Zeller, and Olynyk multiple times. And then a handful of times on the other guard.

I can't explain why we're watching this type of defense in an NBA playoff game. It's not going to win you anything. Can someone please tell Brad this is not the NCAA anymore?

Well, the Warriors made it fashionable in the eyes of some people, I guess :-\, but it doesn't work unless you have the personnel to do it, which is why I find it extremely comical how the Cavs keep switching everything, too, even though they hardly have the players necessary to make it work. 

I think the real reason why teams go to it, though, it because the game is completely inverted now, as opposed to 25-30 years ago, when big guys could not only post up, but rebound and block shots, whereas today the only guys posting up are guards and some small forwards, for the most part, while the supposed "big guys" of today would rather bring the ball up the court and stand around the perimeter shooting threes, meaning that the defense won't pay for putting a guard onto a big guy because of the lack of rebounding and keeping the ball high, in particular, as well as the big dude having any kind of post game.  Weird, imo.  Fwiw, every time Kevin Love shoots a jumper against Nolynyk, he's bailing us out, in my estimation.

Cant wait for the Gordon Hayward upgrade over Jae. He belongs as a bench energy 3 and D guy.

Hayward can handle the ball and make plays. The ball shouldn't be in JC hands unless he's shooting an open 3.
Of course he can. When he's not handing off to the likes of Rodney Hood and standing in the corner. It might be a small sample, but that's what I've seen from him.

How quickly we all forget getting stomped by forty plus points. This team with Hayward next year will be much closer, but I still wouldn't pick them to beat Cleveland. As good as I think Fultz is rookies, especially PG's, don't typically add a lot of win value to their teams. Hell, even guys like KAT take a while to catch up defensively and make a difference.

Really loved the swagger in the first half and thought we were going to keep enough of a lead to win the game but Kyrie killed us in the 3rd. Too bad, this was a great chance to go back to Boston tied but at least now Cleveland definitely has to step up to win and I think we'll win the next one at home.

This one felt like a tough loss because they didn't finish strong. Still they kept it close. Irving scoring, Love rebounding and LeBron doing a little bit of everything got the job done for the Cavs. Felt like there was still a chance to take the lead back but the team looked tired and lost energy. Maybe more Rozier and Brown next game is the answer.
