Game Notes
The Celtics host the Hornets for the first of 3 regular season games.  They have already met twice in the preseason with the Celtics winning both games.  The Celtics swept the series last season 4-0.  These two teams will meet in Charlotte on December 27th and once more in Boston on February 28.

The Hornets are 1-5 on the road and have lost their last 3 games.  The Celtics are 4-1 at home, losing just the first home game the night after Hayward's injury.   They have won 10 straight games.  Charlotte last played on Tuesday and so they should be well rested while the Celtics last played on Wednesday. 

The Celtics have been hit with a string of injuries.  Al Horford missed Wednesday's game as he was placed in the league's concussion protocol.  He is day to day and likely will miss this game also.  Jayson Tatum left Wednesday's game with a sore ankle.  Xrays and MRI were both negative  and he is a game time decision.  Gordon Hayward remains out with the ankle injury. 

For the Hornets, Treveon Graham is a game time decision with a thigh injury.  Julyan Stone is out with a hamstring injury and Nicolas Batum is out with an elbow injury.  The starting lineup for the Hornets should be the same as their last game. 

The starters for the Celtics will depend on whether Jayson or Al can return to the lineup.  I've included the lineup I think they will use if both Al and Jayson remain out.  I'm thinking that the Celtics will be cautious with both players.  I'm going to guess that Marcus Smart would start with Irving, Brown, Morris and Baynes if both remain out.  But, Brad Stevens is always full of surprises and may start someone else.

Key Matchups
(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/202681.png) vs (http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/202689.png)
Kyrie Irving vs Kemba Walker
Walker is averaging 21.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.2 assists.  Kyrie is going to need to go to his newfound defense to slow Walker down because he is capable of taking over a game.  Kyrie will also need to make him work on the defensive end so as to wear him out a bit.   

(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203935.png)  vs  (http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203087.png)
Marcus Smart vs Jeremy Lamb
Lamb has been playing well, averaging 17.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.  He may have a problem getting to his averages if Smart is guarding him.  Hopefully Marcus will also be able to do some scoring to make Lamb have to work on the defensive end.

Honorable Mention

Aron Baynes vs Dwight Howard
Baynes, coming off his career high 21 points against the Lakers, will be tasked with keeping Howard from having a big game.  Howard is averaging 15.2 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks.  Baynes needs to keep Howard out of the paint and away from the basket. 

Keys to the Game:
Defense Defense Defense!!  Defense is the key to winning every game, but particularly this one.  The Hornets average 104.9 points per game while the Celtics average 103.8 points per game.  They average more rebounds, fewer turnovers, and approximately the same 3 point percentage.  The biggest difference is that the Celtics are tops in the league with a defensive rating of 95.6 while the Hornets have a defensive rating of 103.6.  The Celtics must continue to make defense a priority and play tough individual and team defense if they want to win this one.   

Next Man Up - If both Tatum and Horford are out, each player needs to step up his game to the next level.  Aron Baynes and Marcus Morris did it against the Lakers and others will need to do it once again in this game in order to get a win, especially if both players are out.   

Rebound -  The Celtics have been rebounding very well this season.  They are 5th in the league with 47.5 rebounds per game.  The Hornets have been better as they are 2nd with 48.0 rebounds per game.  The Celtics need to put in extra effort to crash the boards and beat the Hornets to the rebounds. 

Be Aggressive - One of the strengths of the Celtics has been their aggressiveness on the court.  They need to be aggressive in going after rebounds, on defense, in attacking the basket and in going after loose balls.  The more aggressive team will also usually get more calls from the officials. 

Don't Underestimate - The Celtics can't underestimate the Hornets because of the sub-.500 record.  They are tough and they seem to do everything well except defend.  It's certain that the Hornets will come in motivated to halt the Celtics win streak and so if the Celtics let up at all, they are likely to get beat. 

X-Factors
Depth - If both Tatum and Al are out, the Celtics depth will be tested.  Each of the Celtics will need to work harder on both ends of the court to try to make up for their injured teammates.  They will especially need to work harder on the defensive end with two key defenders out. 

Home Game - The Celtics are playing in their second home game in a row.  The Hornets have struggled on the road this season and so the Celtics need to get a boost from the home crowd and defend their home court.

The worst part about these injuries is the effect it has on our size - we're going from a big starting lineup to a really small one.

Hopefully we can push through anyway and pick up win #11 despite missing 3 Game 1 starters!

I am not so concerned about each individual win as much as the health of the team getting into the playoffs.  We know this team is talented and I think can play with anyone in the league.  The bottom line is having our best team healthy and playing great come playoff time.  Hopefully these injuries give some valuable experience to our backups and younger player so when they are called on they play well also.  Go Celtics get #11

They beat the Lakers on national TV missing 2 key starters.

Yup. I'm guessing it means he's passed the proscribed tests so far of being symptom free and now has to be evaluated again at shootaround or sometime pregame.

Hopefully Baynes can handle Dwight and Theis can handle Zeller, and the offense can find a way to get buckets without Al out there passing and screening so well.  That will be key to the game.

This is incredible. Small(er) sample size for sure, but out of the top 11 individuals in defensive rating, 7 of them are Celtics, including Baynes (1), Horford (2), Smart (6), Tatum (7), Brown (9), Irving (10), and Rozier (11).

The fact that 7 of the top 11 guys are from one team, Mario chalmers is #4, and JJ Reddick is #8 makes me question the metric a little bit.

As did I, until I went on basketball-reference and saw 7 of top 12 DRtg are Celtics. Six of top 14 leaders in Defensive Win Shares are also C’s.

It’s true, the Celtics have been THAT good defensively.

It's not the end-all-be-all, but it does indicate great defensive teams.

For instance, the year the Pistons won the championship, they had 3 in the top 20. That same year, the Spurs had 5 in the top 20 (and remember that year was between two championships for the Spurs).

We are likely to regress to the mean somewhat, but it is a pretty telling statistic. If you look at each year's league leaders in defensive rating, normally the best defenders are at the top and the best defensive teams have multiple guys on the list.

Gotta love the defensive numbers. We're allowing a full 10 points less than 20 other teams. 95 points in a league where most teams give up 105+. No team within 2 points per game.

Probably we will fall back to earth, but right now we're the #1 defense in the league and it's not really close!

Good Lord, we can't catch a break with these injuries, can we? Looks like Kyrie will need some stitches after that one.

So ridiculous...

Well, A'mico is reporting that it's from his nose, so that might be better than an actual cut.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need to take Baynes out and put in Theis. Howard is just hanging way off of Baynes and making it difficult to drive/finish inside. We need someone that will either move Howard to the outside or make him pay if he doesn't

No ability to create shots on this team right now.  Irving, Hayward, Horford out.  Smart building a brick house, Brown can't handle the ball, Morris isn't back yet. 

I actually think Rozier and Tatum need to be shouldering the load if possible.  It's unlikely to work, but it's more likely than anything else.

Brad messed up. Baynes can't handle that match-up. Kaminsky suddenly becoming Game 7 Kelly Olynyk has killed all the momentum. Don't really think this version of the Celtics have enough talent for another run in them. If you're relying on Shane Larkin, you're in trouble.

Hah, I kind of believe it too. Feels like we should be down 30, but if we string together some defensive stops and stop missing our shots around the basket we could mount a comeback in the second half. It's doable if Rozier or Tatum can get hot. I won't blame them if they get blown out though.

Yup he's been terrible. He hasn't showed any physicality on defense except for the one time he did to kyrie and sent him home early.. absolutely ignored Kaminski who's one of their better 3pt shooters, hasn't grabbed rebounds that have hit him in the hands. Just all around bad half for the Aussie. Let's hope he removes his head from down under in the 2nd half.

I'd say we were completely out of sorts that half. Rookies made a lot of rookie mistakes. We missed a lot of open 3s.

On top of that, we did not get the benefit of the doubt with some of the foul calls.

Its not like the Hornets played well. They are utterly beatable.

CBS will make some adjustments at half. Young guys will settle down a little. Let's make this a game.

This game reminds me a lot of games from last year.

Well, it's not been reported that Kyrie is in the concussion protocol yet, so that's a good sign for now.

Granted, as with Al symptoms could show up later than expected. However, from my fighting days it seemed like the nose hits were more painful, but they weren't necessarily the most common type of hit leading to a concussion.

Smart has missed more shots than anyone else has taken.

Bad shooting night, but for the most part I haven't been too mad about the shots he's taken. They've either been missed bunnies or pretty open shots.

Granted, if he's not going to make at least a reasonable percentage, he needs to cut down, even given the situation tonight.

I’m not trying to be snarky but how often does Smart actually have a good shooting night?

Smart has only had 1 game all season where he's shot 50% from the field.

TBF I think his shot selection is better this season. He's still just missing, mostly on shots close to the basket.

Agreed, but when you still shoot the same percentages despite taking higher percentage shots...?

There is no such thing as a good shot for Smart. 4 years in and he can't put bunnies through the hoop.

this is one of those FLUSH it games. just flush it down the toilet and start fresh tomm. get back to playing SMART like we did last 12 games. talk about BRAINFART city tonight. very troubling brad has not corrected this.

You have your 3 all-stars injured, you have a team full of rookies. It's still on Brad?

There's only so much you can do as a coach. Want an example? See Yabusele in the first half. All he had to do was foul but didn't.

brad could have easily told them go to hoop and stop the jumpers that shot us out the game as if doc rivers was here. did he? didn't look like it now did it? just saying. they are supposed to listen to him but we kept taking stupid shots. now who is it on? how do we know? i will put blame on both justifiably.

The guys have been playing the same way they have played all season (except for Smart taking more shots than necessary). DIfference is guys like yabusele and Nader has to play now. If you think that does not play into how the guys are performing, youre nuts!

See when Smart takes fewer shots, he looks better.

He played good this game outside of those shots. He took less shots in the fourth and ended up impacting the game better.

I love Smart, but he should limit his shots to 8 a night. He could go 1 for 8 and it still wont matter much with all his impact in other areas.

Good win for the guys there, esp down the stretch Larkin, Tatum, Brown, Morris, Rozier.

Celtics also won the rebounding battle again. So far, that's been the main constant on this streak besides the defense. They've shot horribly the last few games, but they've rebounded excellently.

He has a good feel for moving the ball on offense. Some big guys don't know how to get the ball moving from side to side when they catch it on the pick-and-roll/pop. He did that well, which is one of smaller, but important, factors in helping our offense get going.

Kyrie took an accidental elbow from Baynes trying to get a rebound. Good amount of blood. He's now in concussion protocol.

Refs tried to pReventon momentum most of the night.

Brad went to Larkin and he got hot.

He's NOT in concussion protocol as of now. They were just monitoring him and kept him out for precautionary reasons in case he started showing symptoms. So far he's not been reported to be in the protocol yet.

Yeah, what colonel Potter said.  :)

I'm just hoping that I can speak a non-concussion for Kyrie into existence! Plus, I really want to see this Kyrie on Sunday's matinee game:

Masked Kyrie was always the best Kyrie.  ;D

He can borrow Bayne's mask.

Kyrie Irving went home at halftime but texted team congratulating them after game. Brad Stevens says Irving has not been diagnosed with a concussion but will be monitored moving forward.


Good news for us. If no concussion, then I don't expect him to miss any time.

Just finished watching the game - crazy stuff. I know that our D had a lot to do with it, but it was amazing how Charlotte couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the 4th.

I echo the sentiments by hwangjini, too - 9/42 by Smart, Rozier, and Brown. I am glad it didn't affect their effort on the other end.

Anyway, what a fantastic, gritty win by a bunch of nobodies. Great job by the team and by Stevens!

An embarrassment of riches. 3rd string PG comes in and settles things down, runs the offense with poise.  This is the type of play you expect when your 3rd stringer is a ring chasing older veteran player who has a random throwback game when it's needed.

And we got it from Shane Larkin. Go figure.

I was going to give credit for Ainge on that signing.  Between Larkin and Theis, Ainge did a great job of bargain-shopping in Europe last summer.

I didn't like Nader last year in Maine either.. He was a black hole on offense and tried to do too much when I saw him play. No surprise that he's the same so far in boston

Yabu with best performance of his career:   8 Minutes 0 points, 3 boards, 3 fouls, +9.

He didn't hurt us in the second half.  I won't say he played well, but he didn't play poorly.

Still generally has no idea what he's doing, but time is on his side and I think he's playing for the right coach.

He still lack basketball experience. He started playing when he was 16. Gotta be patient with the kid.

Agree.

He has a good feel for moving the ball on offense. Some big guys don't know how to get the ball moving from side to side when they catch it on the pick-and-roll/pop. He did that well, which is one of smaller, but important, factors in helping our offense get going.

I loved it when he made the extra pass to get Theis a wide open corner three.  A great decision.

That was a little play, but shows that he gets what CBS wants from him on offense.

It's plays like that that make me wonder if he can be a bit like Al on offense.

In his post-game interview, CBS had high praise for that play in particular.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5yMhkNIy54

At about the 3:30 mark he calls it "THE right play," which is a big compliment from CBS. He also takes the blame for non-foul/foul in the first half by Yabusele.

Summary [dang it]! I want a summary!!!  ;D

Kyrie took an accidental elbow from Baynes trying to get a rebound. Good amount of blood. He's now in concussion protocol.

Refs tried to pReventon momentum most of the night.

Brad went to Larkin and he got hot.

He's NOT in concussion protocol as of now. They were just monitoring him and kept him out for precautionary reasons in case he started showing symptoms. So far he's not been reported to be in the protocol yet.

Yeah, what colonel Potter said.  :)

I'm just hoping that I can speak a non-concussion for Kyrie into existence! Plus, I really want to see this Kyrie on Sunday's matinee game:

(https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/9576945/kyriemask.jpg)

Masked Kyrie was always the best Kyrie.  ;D

I'm pretty sure he was fined for that.  Or not allowed to wear it after that game.  Not sure, though.
