Key Matchups
 vs  
Brook Lopez is one of the best young centers in the league.  He has been averaging 18.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game in the preseason and it will be up to Shaq to slow him down in this game.  

 vs  
It seems as though the PG matchup is always key to the games.  As we have seen many times, as Rondo goes, so go the Celtics.   Harris is a very good PG and Rondo will need to make him work on both ends of the court.  

Team Connections
 Nets assistant coach Popeye Jones played for the Celtics from 1997-99
Damion James and Avery Bradley were teammates at Texas
Troy Murphy and Luke Harangody both attended Notre Dame
Devin Harris and Marquis Daniels were teammates in Dallas from 2004-06
Johan Petro and Ray Allen were teammates in Seattle from 2005-07
Kevin Garnett and Nets Assistant Coach Sam Mitchell were teammates in
Minnesota from 1995-2002..
Von Wafer and Travis Outlaw were teammates in Portland during the 2007-08 season
Shaquille O’Neal and Nets Assistant Coach Larry Krystkowiak were teammates on the Lakers during the 1996-97 season
Jermaine O’Neal played for Nets Assistant Coach Sam Mitchell during the 2008-09 season in Toronto
Jermaine O’Neal and Troy Murphy were teammates in Indiana from 2006-08

Game Notes
This is the last preseason game to tune up before the regular season.   The Celtics have been off since Sunday while the Nets are playing in the second of back to back games.  

Both teams should be working their teams into regular season form.  We should see the starters play somewhere close to regular minutes.  By this time also, the decisions on cuts should be made, even if the cuts haven't been made,  and we should be seeing close to a regular season rotation.  

The Celtics defeated the Nets 96-92 for their second victory of the preseason.    The Celtics will be looking for a preseason sweep of their division foe while the Nets will be looking to avenge the earlier loss.

Very true...the end game result and your opinion on Brook's talent :)

I would love to see Brook Lopez in green....any chance/way we can get him? He is probably the only player I would want instead of Perk...and Bogut too.

TP for FL.

Do Shaqs post moves intrigue anybody else?  I mean i guess those moves are something that never leaves a player, whereas the explosiveness does. 

Based on that it makes me think once dwight loses his explosiveness he will just be an average NBA big man. 

Thoughts?

Apparently Petro has license to goaltend.  I thought he interfered on the Harris put back as well.

John Connor works for the Celtics? Doesn't he have to save the future from Skynet?

Ugliest quarter of ball from the C's regulars I've seen this preseason.  Weak effort.
