Nuggets (2-3) at Celtics (3-2) Game #6 11/6/16

[jpotter33]

I'm especially excited for this game because I want to see how Murray does. He was the guy I wanted to pick at 3 (I know, I know, you guys can laugh at me), and so far he hasn't looked great. He just scored his first NBA field goal the other night, after going 0/16 before then.

I'm guessing it's not going to get much better for him with the likes of Bradley and Smart guarding him. They seem to thrive on guarding the lesser athletic/slower guards like Murray.

It'll be interesting to see who IT guards in the starting lineup - Mudiay or Murray. I think Murray presents a better matchup for him due to less size and athleticism.

Any update on Kelly for tonight's game?

Yeah, the only way I see Murray having success tonight is if he's hot from outside.

I also think Murray makes more sense on defense for Isaiah. I trust Avery with Mudiay, and he doesn't even have to exert as much energy defending him, because of his bad jump shot.

He's out.

He's out according but him and Horford will be back Wednesday according to Sean Grande.

I agree on the IT thing. Mudiay, while unable to drop the ball in the basket, should be able to abuse IT based purely on the what 8 inch difference in height?  Whenever IT gets some rest, their opposing back court wouldnt be able to score at all. We match up well as long as their front court doesnt abuse us.

Oh, also, they could start Gary Harris. I think I remember something about him making his season debut the other night.

The Celtics should have a heyday from the perimeter, too, because that perimeter D is extremely weak with Gallo, Murray, and Mudiay, who I think has potential as a defender but is pretty raw defensively now.

Brown gets 20 + points

[LarBrd33]

I'm bracing myself for a terrible shooting night from brown. Something like 3 for 16.   His shooting percentages are unrealistically high and he's due.  Hopefully he has another great game though.

This has got to be a win in our book.  AB is a monster.  That interview with him he just wants to rip peoples heads off.

With no Patriots game today it seems like I've been waiting all day for this game to start.

[SCeltic34]

Rebounding will be key, especially against their twin towers.  Gotta be competitive on the boards.

[SCeltic34]

I can't remember the last time AB threw a good alley-oop pass.
