Game Notes

The Celtics and Wizards meet for the 4th and final regular season game this season.   This is the 3rd season in a row that they have played 4 times in the regular season.  The Celtics trail 1-2 in the series so far with the Wizards winning 111-103 on Christmas Day in Boston and the Celtics winning 110-104 in OT on February 8 in Washington.  The Wizards won 125-124 in double OT in Boston on March 14. 

The Celtics are coming off a loss to the Hawks and are 7-3 in their last 10 games.  They are 28-12 on the road, which is better than their 26-14 home record.  The Wizards have lost their last 4 games and are 2-8 in their last 10 games.  They are 22-18 at home.  Both teams are playing in the first game of their final back to back set of the season.

The Celtics are locked into the second seed but the Wizards are still fighting for playoff positioning.  They are currently in the 8th spot and 4.5 games ahead of 9th and so can't fall out of the playoffs, but who they will face is still up in the air.  Here  is the current playoff picture:
Seed...... Team....... GB ...... Remaining Games
6             Bucks       --           @PHI 4/11
7             Heat         1           vs TOR 4/11
8            Wizards      1.5        vs BOS 4/10, @ORL 4/11

John Wall has returned to the Wizards lineup after missing 2 months with a knee injury.  He has played well, but the team is still working at getting their chemistry back, losing the 4 games since his return.  Ian Mahinmi still has not passed the league's concussion protocol and is listed as day to day. 

For the Celtics, Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Daniel Theis and Marcus Smart remain out.  The good news is that Marcus Smart is hoping to return to the court by April 27.  The bad news is that the other 3 will miss the playoffs.  Guerschon Yabusele is questionable with knee soreness.  I'm not expecting players to be rested in this game but we'll know more closer to game time. 

Key Matchups
(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Brown_Jaylen_bos1617.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Beal_Bradley_was17.jpg)
Jaylen Brown vs Bradley Beal
Bradley Beal is averaging 22.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game.  Beal is averaging 17.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists over his career against Boston.  On 3/14, Beal put up 34 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists against the Celtics.  Jaylen Brown has the tough task of covering Beal.  Jaylen has the size to disrupt Beal and hopefully will be up to the task. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Rozier_Terry_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Wall_John_was17.jpg)
Terry Rozier vs John Wall 
Wall missed the last two games against the Celtics with a knee injury.  He is averaging 19.2 points, 9.5 assists, and 3.6 rebounds.  Over his career vs Boston, he is averaging 18.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 9.0 assists.  Since his return from the injury, he is averaging 17.3 points and 12.7 assists, but he has also averaged 6 turnovers.  It will be up to Terry Rozier to be sure that he doesn't regain chemistry with his teammates in this game. 

Honorable Mention
Jayson Tatum vs Otto Porter, Jr
Porter has had some big games against the Celtics like the 2nd game between them this season where he had 27 points and 11 rebounds.  He is averaging 11.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists over his career against the Celtics.   He is averaging 14.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this season.  Jayson needs to continue his strong play in this game to keep him from having another big game in this one. 

Marcus Morris vs Markieff Morris
Just because Twins.  Both brothers have said that they don't want to face each other in the playoffs but depending on how things go on the last two days of the season, they may not be able to avoid it.  Markieff is averaging 12.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists against the Celtics over his career. 

Keys to the Game

Defense - The Celtics need to make defense a priority.   Defense wins games.   The Wizards are averaging 106.7 points per game.  The Celtics are averaging 104.0 points per game.   However, they may find scoring hard to come by with all the injuries to key players.  The Celtics can't depend on winning a shoot out with the Wizards and so they have to play tough defense to stop the Wizards from scoring.  But even then they will miss two of their better defenders in Marcus Smart and Daniel Theis.

Be Aggressive - The Celtics need to be the more aggressive team from start to finish.  They need to be aggressive in going to the hoop, in crashing the boards, in fighting for loose balls and in running the court.  They also have to be more aggressive on defense.  They have to be the team that wants it more.  If the Celtics want to get a win in this game,  they have to be more aggressive than the Wizards.   With the Wizards close to full strength and the Celtics still short handed, their only hope is to play harder than their opponents.

Rebound
-  The Celtics are averaging 44.2 rebounds per game while the Wizards are averaging 42.9 rebounds per game.   The Celtics have to put out the extra effort to grab rebounds and match or exceed the Wizards efforts on the boards if they want to get a win in this game.

Take Care of the Ball
- The Celtics need to move the ball to find the open man and to keep the Wizards running.  However, they have to make careful passes.  If they get careless and turn the ball over,  the Wizards will make them pay as they average 17 points off turnovers (9th).  The Celtics can't afford to give the Wizards extra points off of turnovers.

X-Factors
Next Man Up - The Celtics are still short handed and so the players that are healthy and on the court will have to step up and give 120%.  They need to make up for both key offensive and defensive players who are injured.   The Celtics are going to need a lot from the vets playing Morris, Rozier, Monroe, Larkin and Baynes and also from the rookies that make up the rest of the rotation.
 
On the Road - The Celtics are on the road again.  Usually young teams play worse on the road but the Celtics have a better record on the road than they do at home.   They have to continue to ignore the distractions of playing on the road and in front of a hostile crowd.

If we win, would we essentially be making the Wiz the 8 seed?

I’d try to win this game, then rest everyone Wednesday.

No report of Brad resting guys and so does the Wiz..

Could this mean both teams will go for the win?
For Brad it will be a barometer of how his team will look like if we do play the Wiz in round one.. If somehow we get blown out.. Will it mean that the Wiz will smoke us in roind one?.

We shall see but this is not gonna be your typical last day of the reg season game... Heck this will probably have PO type feel to it i believe.

This game should be lit!

Last meaningful game for 5 days or so (we should probably wheel out the Claws for that game against BKN, just to spite the Cavs..). I want to see HUGE defensive intensity.

Most of the Celtics-Wizards games have been pretty intense/hostile, dating back to last playoffs and last year's regular games. Wizards want blood and the Celtics do not have Isaiah Thomas this time around lol. Expect ejections and elbow throwing here and there. Definitely look out for Marcus Morris's technical fouls too  8)

We need this one. A win should keep them from facing us in 1st round with confidence. They are more dangerous and unlikeable than Miami or Milwaukee.

IMO this is a must win for us. Wizards are the last team I want to see round 1 if I had my choice.
I gotta believe Brad is resting guys though since we're a +7.5 dog right now.

Brad has said that everyone is playing other than Yabusele whose knee is still sore (and those out for the season).  He also said to expect the starters to play a good amount of minutes.

Definitely, would much rather play the Heat or even the Bucks. Wall and Beal elevating their games in the playoffs is a scary thought especially when it comes to defending them.

Washington looks like a turd against anybody good ..but the Celtics .....The Celtics always make them look like the Warriors .

i think Wall still remembers the thrashings KG and PP used to give them.

They WANT to win so they can destroy the Celtics in the playoffs.

I think all the rumors that the Wizards hate playing with Wall are true.

They seem so dysfunctional with him and Wall certainly acts like a punk out there.

I mean, Gortat and Beal took subtle, but obvious shots at him while he was injured.

Pff.. who needs Kawhi when you have Brown!

I've been trying to tell you guy, Jaylen is already light years ahead of Kawhi on both sides of the ball, than Kawhi was at Jaylen's age.  This isn't to say Jaylen will end up being a better player than KL is now, but geez, you gotta wonder.....



Jaylen is the man.

I don't think it is crazy to wonder if his ceiling is in the Kawhi range...

That was my call on draft night. The thing is, he's come along a lot quicker than anticipated.....  He gets more consistent with his mid range game, off the curl, watch out.

With all due respect, a search of your posts brings up no mention of Brown on draft night. Unless of course search is broken. Whereas my posts comes up:

There were scant few of us who both predicted and defended Danny's choice two years ago. I went so far as to place my bet in my signature 2 years ago. 3 years left for it to happen!

Go Jaylen!

I might've been mistaken. The might've been before the draft.   ;)

Yeah, Rozier has missed him numerous times, but my God why Brad has not got Brown more involved is beyond me.

In fact, this long Wizards run ultimately started when Brad left the bench in too long in the second quarter, which makes literally no sense given that most of the regular rotation guys won't be playing tomorrow night.

Yeah when you have a player that is red hot, gotta get him back in the game quick and ride it while he has a hot hand.  If someone scores 21 in the 1st quarter you gotta go back to them a lot and make the other team stop them.

Gortat has one foul?

That is amazing.  He has been pushing Al and Moose all [dang] game.

He commits a foul every time down the court on both sides of the ball.

terrible last play of the quarter.   We gotta be tough enough on D to stop the guy with the ball.

On the plus side, Utah is absolutely whipping Golden State, right now, up 55-31 with 2:43 to go in the first half, so that's always fun ;D.

On the downside, however, me thinks that I might have jinxed Rozier :-\. Sorry, everyone, lol.

Edit: make that a 29 point lead at the half :o. Wat.

Yeah, I've about had my fill of Semi and Rozier. Just dumb, dumb players.

Brad deserves quite of bit of criticism for wasting Brown's big night, too. You're the coach; when you see your team not getting someone involved who is having the night that Brown is having, then you freaking do something about it. Stop sitting on your hands. It's comical that Brown went two full quarters after the 21 point outburst only shooting twice without Brad doing crap about it.  ::)

You're probably right, as Toronto probably wants to avoid Washington and play Miami or Milwaukee first, along with Philly obviously being motivated to keep the three seed.

The best part about that scenario is the fact that Washington can't really try to manipulate it to get us if both of them lose, as a loss will put them in 8th and a win would put them in 6th.

So everyone root hard for Toronto and Philly tomorrow night!!

Ugh, Semi is so terrible. I don't understand Brad's obsession with him.
I guess they see him as a project , the next Rozier or Smart.

Has he really been that awful?

I hope smart gets back to play in at least one game against Oubre if we play the wiz.

Can someone please explain how Boston can avoid the Wiz in round one if they lose this game???

1: They lose tomorrow against Orlando; or

2: All three of Washington, Miami, and Milwaukee win tomorrow (though a Milwaukee win over Philly will set up a second round date with Cleveland, so.....)


And Miami has the raptors. Boston is going to have to play these ****s in a series.

toronto will have nothing to play for tomorrow

They absolutely do - a win by Toronto will probably push Miami to 8 and Washington out of their bracket, which they absolutely want.

Just a disappointing effort tonight. 3 quarters of really abysmal basketball. That was more disappointing than losing.

Cs are toast if the play WAS in round one. Likely a 4 game sweep.

If Miami loses,  Milwaukee loses and Wiz win...Bucks 7 seed

Miami wins, Wiz win, Bucks lose...Wiz 7 seed

All three win...Miami 7 seed

All three lose...Miami 7 seed

Bucks win, Wiz win, Heat lose....Wiz 7 seed

Not sure why people keep thinking this. Washington is clearly the worst matchup for us of the three, but I simply don't see where this is a one-sided series, especially given our homecourt advantage. That's a toss-up series to me.

I mean, we had all but one of our top-6 players tonight have a terrible game, yet it was a close game until midway through the 4th.

[dang], I remember last year the Celtics started the postseason 0-2 and most of Celtics nation were calling for Brad Stevens' head and his atrocious 2-10 playoff record after Game 2.

Unfortunately, a 6-0 miracle run won't happen again in the playoffs for the C's this year.  :'(

That's what happens when players are Jekyll and Hyde (Rozier/Morris). Tatum did not have a good game tonight as well. Rozier/Morris have had several bad games in a row now..

Wiz have 2 All Stars that can easily take over a series vs an undermanned Cs. They are the worst match up for them and it would be a quick exit for Boston

Have to assume that 76ers beat the Bucks tomorrow. That is the case Boston needs to have the Heat lose and Wiz win OR

 Heat win and Wiz lose. If both the Heat and Wiz win, Boston gets the Wiz

Dude, you’ve got this all backwards lol

Here’s the list of the possibilities. Technically of the 8 possibilities, 4 of the possibilities have us playing Miami, with Milwaukee and Washington splitting the other 4 possibilities.

Beal is in Tatums head so might as well take him out the series. Rozier would need to be huge and having to chase Wall all series good luck with that. Horford is unreliable and a [dang] joke offensively. Morris showing up won't save us. They got bodies they can throw at Moose in Gortat and Mahinmi that's a wash. We got no real advantage well be lucky to win a game

Basically just cover Milwaukee as an "L" because they ain't beating the 76ers in Philadelphia since they still have something to fight for. Just hope Washington loses to Orlando tomorrow and then Celtics fans can rejoice of either facing Milwaukee or Miami in Round 1.

Jaylen Brown had 21 points in the first quarter v Washington and just 6 more the rest of the way. Asked him if the Wizards did anything different on defense or whether the ball movement wasn't there. "I don't know," he replies."No comment."

Hmm, looks like we weren't the only ones a little baffled and upset that Jaylen didn't touch the ball in the middle half of the game after a 21 point first quarter.

Perhaps Brad gets a fair share of this too, right? Heard he was blasting this team for a p----poor effort.

Basically we need Miami and Milwaukee to either both win or both lose their last game.  If one loses and the other wins (it doesn't matter which team wins or loses) we face Washington.  If they both win or both lose, we avoid Washington.

It literally doesn't not matter what Washington does in their last game.

Toronto wants MH so lets assume theyd play to win to avoid Washington... And Phi wants to win to get the 3rd seed.. In this scenario we avoid the Wiz...it really can still happen.
