Game Notes
First of all, this game thread is very early and some of the information may not be correct by the time the game comes but we are directly in the path of a category 3 hurricane and I may or may not have power before October 16 to make the game thread then.  So please bear with any errors as I am hurrying to get this up before the storm gets here.

The Celtics had a very forgettable preseason, winning just 1 of 4 games.  Brad Stevens said that they made progress in practice,  but didn't show it in games.  They have had 10 days off since their last preseason game and hopefully can get enough practice in that those habits will carry through to this game against the Sixers. 

The Celtics should also have had time to get healthy and will likely start the 5 players that they started in the first game last season and also in the first preseason game this year.  However, with that lineup,  Gordon Hayward is still finding his basketball conditioning after the injury that kept him out of all but 5 minutes of last season.

The Sixers are starting their same 5 from last season with the exception of Markelle Fultz starting at shooting guard in place of JJ Redick.  The Sixers fared better than the Celtics in the preseason with a 3-1 record, including a couple of games in China against the Dallas Mavericks. 

Since this is a week early,  the injury lists may not be accurate by game time as some players may be injured in practice leading into the first game.  As of now,  it looks like Jerryd Bayless (knee) and Zhaire Smith (foot) will be out for the Sixers and Wilson Chandler (hamstring) will be doubtful.  Although Gordon Hayward (back), Kyrie Irving (ribs) and Al Horford (wrist) missed the last preseason game for the Celtics,  I expect them to be ready to start in this one.

Key Matchups
(https://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/260x190/1627732.png)
Kyrie Irving vs Ben Simmons
The 6'10"Simmons will have a distinct height advantage on pretty much any point guard, including Kyrie Irving.    Kyrie should be healthy and will have an advantage on the offensive end and it's not clear whether Ben Simmons has found the courage to shoot a three pointer this season.  If the Celtics can keep him outside it should help to slow him down. 

(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/201143.png) vs (http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203954.png)
Al Horford vs Joel Embiid
Embiid is a tough cover for any of the Celtics who are matched up against him.  I'm assuming that Brad may start Al against him,  but he may surprise me and start Baynes, who matches up fairly well with Embiid.  Again,  the Celtics need to keep Embiid away from the basket where he is less effective.  They especially need to keep him from running the lane for open dunks. 

Honorable Mention
Jayson Tatum vs Markelle Fultz
I know that these two players won't be matched up against each other in the game, however since they were traded for each other on draft day,  there will always be comparisons and watching the two players to determine who actually won that trade.  Last year, there was  no question that Tatum was the better of the two with Fultz missing most of the season,  but this year, Fultz looks ready to play and so the comparisons will begin again.   

Keys to the Game
Defense -  Defense wins Championships.  The Celtics were the best defensive team in the league last season, but they didn't even resemble that team in the preseason.  Hopefully, the Celtics found their defense in practice and will find away to make it continue into the games.  They have to play tough lock down defense if they want to be contenders this season. 

Be Aggressive - The Celtics have to be the more aggressive team and go after all the loose balls, and aggressively go after rebounds, and be aggressive on defense. They also have to be aggressive in taking the ball into the paint.  The Celtics need to be the hardest working and toughest team on the court.  We know that the Sixers will be aggressive and play hard and the Celtics need to match their effort. 

Rebound - The Celtics need to crash the boards as they can't score if they don't have the ball.  They need to grab the defensive rebounds to limit the Sixers second chance points and they need to crash the offensive boards to keep the Sixers from getting fast break points and in order to give themselves extra shots. 

Play the Right Way -  The Celtics need to move the ball and play as a team on both ends of the court.  They have to move the ball and find the open man and not lapse into hero ball.  They have to play tough team defense and trust each other on both ends of the court.  They have to attack the basket if their 3's aren't falling.  Most of all, they have to play with extra effort and focus. 

X-Factors
Home Game - The Celtics are at home and will get a boost from the home crowd.  Hopefully the crowd can rattle the young Sixers as well.  The Garden should be loud and give the Celtics that extra push they need to get the win.

Officiating -  In the preseason the referees seemed to call a lot of fouls and teams were having trouble getting used to the officials calling some things tighter than they did last season.  Hopefully the Celtics can adjust and not have all of their players in foul trouble in the first quarter.

Go Celts! A must win on opening night. We cannot let Embid talk any crap. Hopefully since the last game Brad has had these guys practicing shooting because it was a horrible showing in the pre-season. I am looking forward to the real games and hope to see an improvement and hope to see WannaLarkin sitting on the bench until Gino time only.

It would be great to see us get this first one against the Sixers - go Cs!!

Hopefully the 6er's were watching our preseason games and come in over confident! And....hopefully we don't come out and actually PLAY like we did in preseason and get run out of our own building on opening night!
Think it'll be somewhere in the middle, and we'll struggle some, but squeak out a W.  Baby steps!

I think Sixers are wrong to start Fultz over Redick.
It was a very strong starting unit, and it add pressure on Fultz.

It was a very strong starting unit, and it add pressure on Fultz.

While if I was coach, I'd too probably be starting Redick, I don't think it's wrong to start Fultz.  The season is much bigger than the first game of the regular season.  Fultz playing towards his full potential and being able to gel with the starters will do a lot more for Philly down the road (playoffs this season, future seasons) then trying to win what is basically a meaningless regular season game.

There's always going to be pressure in the NBA, this may be the best way to help Fultz learn to deal with it.

But if he does not perform well and needs to be benched his confidence will be ruined once again.

But if he does not perform well and needs to be benched his confidence will be ruined once again.

This is the NBA, if he can't cut it then he can't cut it.

Also again, just like the C's, Philly's not playing for the regular season.  What's going to have the team playing its best by the playoffs? Relying on a 34 year old SG or developing the next James Harden?  I can definitely see the payoff of playing Fultz a ton of minutes so he develops and his ready by the playoffs (this year, and future seasons).  You know, what some people here want Brad/Danny to do with every rookie (start Mickey, start Semi, etc.).

But if we want to get all psychological, I think there's also potential that bringing him off the bench could also ruin his confidence/ego (I'm not good enough to start, the team doesn't trust me, how many #1 picks are coming off the bench in their 2nd year, I'm a laughing stock, etc.), which in turn could cause his yips to return.

Really though, I think both things have potential to help/hurt Fultz.  On the one side, if you show him you believe in him and are starting him then that could help his confidence, on the other side you can argue bringing him along slowly and having him play well against the 2nd unit would help his confidence.

Or I'm going to have a terrible workout where I can't concentrate and feel rushed because I'm trying to make it home in time to catch everything.

5 minutes into the new season and I’m already reminded how terrible the NBA on TNT crew is regarding actual basketball analysis. 50 wins and potentially the 3rd seed for the Lakers? Give me a break lol They’ll be lucky to make the playoffs as a 7 or 8 seed.

Lebron isn’t in the weak East anymore.
I think they will be the 3rd best team in the West also, behind Golden State and Houston.  Fifty wins seems reasonable.

It's possible that the Lakers win 50 but a lot depends on LeBron's durability. The Lakers are going to have to play some defense if they want to get to 50.

Lol this is why NBA officiating is such a joke. How do you go from the preseason's officiating standard (which was atrociously soft) to a standard that lets pretty much all contact go? How are guys supposed to play with that type of inconsistency in the officiating?

Hopefully they'll continue to let the teams play, but I sincerely doubt it.

Yeah, until Fultz can actually shoot again it’s absurd to play them together. Fultz needs to be playing the mini-Simmons role for their second team.

Whew that lost shot by Fultz was UGLY.

Correction, last shot.

You're right on both counts.

who has more value? Terry Rozier or Markelle Fultz?

What if Terry had 3 years left on his contract?

We look totally out of sync offensively and aren't sharing the ball or running plays. Surviving on good D and one-on-one offense.

Yeah I'm disappointed with our playmaking, or lack of it, so far.  Even if it's the first game of the season.

It looks to me like they are trying to manufacture a rivalry by making this game closer than what it is with calls bailing out Philly and allowing them to foul us without any calls.

I'd rather pay Kyrie 50m a year for 5 years than Rozier 20m a year for 4.

If you'd told me that Kyrie would go 0-8 and we'd still be fairly comfortablly in control of the game, I'd be thrilled.

Our offence is scary. It's working and we look good. We're just missing point blank shots. We have a team.

I think they've been fine.

The refs missed the push in the back by Simmons on the fast break, and I thought Jaylen got fouled on the possession where he missed two point-blank layups.  But in 24 minutes of basketball, that's acceptable.  And I'm sure a Philly fan would point out a couple of plays where the Celtics got away with a foul, too.

Uncle Drew gonna take over when it counts

I would settle for some buckets at this point.

On positive note, Hayward looks better than the preseason.

Why were you laughing? He literally made the all defensive 1st team last year

Which is so strange to me. As someone else said, he's trash every time he plays the Celtics.

i think what he means is he doesn’t show it when tatums got the ball

I think that's just Tatum being Tatum, not Covington being bad at defense

Somebody convince me that Covington isn’t trash.  Dude is awful every time I watch him play unless he gets hot from three... which isn’t often.
he had 1 good season from 3 so he thinks he’s Ray Allen

I agree he’s an average player at best

Jae Crowder caliber

They've freaked out over every decent/good play he's made and ignored his bad plays and turnovers.

Yep and Smart has been good. Baynes is 0-3 but he's been holding it down defensively. Kyrie is missing a lot but he's missing the shots you want him taking.

If that's the case then Wyc and company can probably stop paying his salary, as I'm sure I've made him enough over the past few years.

Seriously, though, Brad has the same complex with calling timeouts that I have with working out - while we both know we need to do it, it never gets done.

While not as heady of a player as Big Al, for a big guy he has a similarly good floor vision and passing game.

Much, much better 2nd half.  Brad making the decision to put Baynes with the starters really made the difference.  Philly just doesn't have much answer on offense for our size and quickness up front.  They either can't get enough shooting on the court to properly space the offense, or are forced to play too many defensively weak players

Were no better now. If Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, Horford, Tatum, Rozier, and Morris can't score then our offense grinds to a halt. That's a huge issue  :P

Yep. Will make for some interesting (and tough) decisions for Brad with the starting lineup if we end up playing them in the playoffs.

Luckily, there's not really another top team in the East that we need to worry about like that.

As good as Simmons is, and he is very good, its hard to see how this Phili team is gonna take the next step unless he develops a jumper. The floor is too compressed with him and Embiid out there, and if Fultz can't shoot threes then what?

Then looking up at the Celtics

Not that i’m complaining, it’s Tatum’s fault with his 9 boards :P

Good win to open the season!  Team looked overwhelming at times.  Kyrie won't play this poorly again.  Hayward will come around too, I think, though that will probably be more of a gradual process. 

Good to see the bench look every bit as good as advertised.  In particular, I like that Rozier appears to be picking up where he left off despite stepping into a much smaller role.

They're not athletic enough or good enough on the perimeter.  They need another threat from 3 pt range to take full advantage of Simmons.  Not having a GM in place this off season I think really hurt them.

Horford was the only guy to play 30 minutes tonight. Tatum and Irving at 29 minutes.

Smart, Rozier, Morris, and Baynes playing the major bench minutes. We'll see some Theis but based on the minutes tonight, Brad seems to have a pretty clear idea about what his 9 man rotation is. We'll see if that changes against other teams but it makes sense to me that we're going to see this group a lot this season.

Near effortless win with Kyrie struggling and Hayward still shaking off rust...

Tatum's 23 points looked easy, I'm pretty sure he could average that without much trouble if he wanted to.

Hayward looks like he's well on his way back. The bench is def looking like the BWA :).

I am still concerned about staying under the luxury tax this year, but are we really going to dump guys like Morris/Rozier to do so? That bench is legit.

Nice win against one of our top competitors. Don't expect another dud like this from Kyrie and I hope Hayward can get back some of his groove on offense. With Tatum competing for League MVP, it may not matter, though!  ;)

Loved Tatum.

Loved the bench play.

Loved Horford's all around game.

Loved Brown's aggressiveness that would normally translate to a 20 point game.

Loved the defense and complete lack of respect by Celtics players for Embiid.

Loved the result of opening night.

So happy the C’s are officially back. To win by 18 when Irving, Hayward, and Horford score a combined 26 points against a hyped team should scare the league.

Love that every one of our players were in the positive and all Sixers were in the negative. Thoroughly outplayed them.

Our bench is going to be a huge weapon. As strange as it was to see what they did with Fultz/Redick to start the halves, Stevens did it brilliantly with Hayward/Baynes.

Can’t wait for Friday!

We will learn a lot more Friday night vs. Raptors. On their court, and they are a better (regular season) team than Philly.

And Kawhi is tough.  I imagine Jaylen will be assigned to guard him.  Match up to watch for sure.

BIG DADDY BAYNES AGAIN!

I'm Trademarking that, btw.
Love it!  I wonder how many people get the reference?

Not until you said that, but good call! TP to you both.

Maybe we should get them some black shirts that say NBO instead of NBA.

It was somethings like, "You cannot post because your last post was < 5 seconds ago."  It is completely false but prevented posting which took multiple re-tries.  Some folks complained they lost posts as a result of this glitch.  I just keep hitting the back button and then re-send until it finally posted.  So, no, the server had issues during the game.

I experienced that too and have previously as well.  Other than that glitch, the site was working better than the old one.

Same here, and I started adding the what number of submissions it took before going through to my posts out of sheer frustration

A lot of errors while posting making me resubmit (sometimes multiple times), but it was 100x better than having the servers time out like last year. I never had any issues reloading the page to see new comments
