Game Notes
The Celtics continue their 2 game road trip with a stop in New York to take on the Knicks. The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games, having loss to Toronto on Friday night, 113-101. The Knicks are also playing in the second game of a back to back, losing last night to the Nets in a battle of New York, 107-105

The Celtics struggled last night late in the game and had an overall poor defensive showing allowing the Raptors to shoot 46.7% from the floor and 37.1% from the three point line. They failed to contain Kawhi Leonard in the 2nd half as he poured in 24 points after halftime and had 31points and 10 rebounds for the game. The Celtics also had no answer for veteran Serge Ibaka as he put up 21points on 10 of 14 shooting. The Celtics defense will need to tighten up if they are to pull out a win in New York.

The Knicks are also coming off a loss and still trying to cope with the absence of their young star, Kristaps Porzingas. The Knicks are led by guard Tim Hardaway, Jr. who has scored 60 total points in the Knicks first two games. Also, starting off well for New York is Enes Kanter, who always seems to be a thorn in the Celtics side. Kanter is averaging 22.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game so far in this short season. The Celtics also should pay close attention to the Knicks very impressive rookie, Kevin Knox, who excelled at Summer League and preseason and is averaging 13.5 points per game this far.

For the Celtics to win this game they are going to have to continue to work in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward who both looked much better last night than the did in the season opener. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown look to have the advantage in their match ups and should look to get the ball to their youngsters. But perhaps most importantly, the Celtics will need to use their exceptional length defensively to contain this young Knicks team. Also key will be keeping Kanter off the offensive boards getting easy put backs. Kanter has killed the Celtics in the past with this facet of his game.

Gordon Hayward looks to be a scratch and Aron Baynes should be inserted into the starting lineup

Not sure about that one man.  Their roster is dreadful.  Without Porzingis there's little to be excited about.  I'd feel bad for the fans... but it's New York so I don't.

Horford won't get much in the way of headlines, and won't wow you with stats, but he's still very clearly the player that makes this team click (on both ends of the court).

Pretty sure I see Tatum out there not making a difference.  And anyway, Hayward isn’t a bench player even if he’s going to be out there with them.  The combination of smart, Morris, and rozier is not good as they’re all extremely streaky and inefficient players.

I don’t disagree.  But the whole BWA moniker was about the other guys, and I expect those guys are going to be very streaky.

You're right. That's why I like a starter in there with the bench most of the time. I also like it better when Smart is the point and Rozier is off the ball.

If Rozier demands a similar contract to Gordon I wouldn’t mind that at all! $20m a year is a big wage for Gordon, who would likely come off the bench

Not sure it works unless Rozier is resigned first.   I wouldnt mind a two for one swap with those two guys though. Whoever danny likes.

Also is it just me or has Kyrie played some stout defense today?

If our def was playing well, this shouldn't be a game.  75 or so points for us in 3 quarters is fine, we shouldn't be allowing this knicks team to score as easy as they have.

Well, for brown ale, Old Brown Dog by Smuttynose is my go to.  Helps that they have a brewery right down the road from me.

I critiqued Irving's defense the first two games, but he is doing a better job getting over screens and staying engaged off-ball.

By no means an all-nba defender, but the effort makes him much better.

Welp, time to crack open a beer.  Got some world class IPAs in my fridge.  Need some strong, good beer after watching this.

Way ahead of you bud, any recommendations?

Recommendations?

Stay away from IPAs...Belgian Ale is better

Yeah I'm a big fan of brown ales, more of a liquor guy but I've gotten into the beer game recently so always looking for recommendations.

Well, for brown ale, Old Brown Dog by Smuttynose is my go to.  Helps that they have a brewery right down the road from me.

I've been drinking La Fin du Monde tonight, which is a good, strong (9%) Canadian brewed Belgian Ale.

TP. Sounds good, I'll lookn into it.  :)

yeah that was almost a game changing mistake.  of course Tatum was the reason we were in the lead so hard to fault him too much.

I have noticed that Tatum is biting on a lot of fakes and in general not playing def at the level he was last year.  probably will get back the def level as the season goes on (along with everyone else)

That's not excuses, its real life. Guys get tired, this isn't fantasy basketball or a video game, its real life. Guys get physically and mentally tired, and these guys don't even have their rhythm yet this early in the season.

Plus, Hayward was sitting, and we lost Baynes early on. I like this win. Its these type of wins that build character and where you find out what type of guys you really have on this team.

I think of all the starters he's going to be the one who will be most unhappy with and find a hard time dealing with less minutes due to the team's depth (even though he played 38 min tonight). I can see Tatum accepting coming off the bench if needed, I can see Hayward accepting coming off the bench if needed, I can't see Jaylen accepting the same. Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's got a bit more of an ego than those two.

We were a great 4th quarter team last year.  We're only 3 games in, I know... but our 4th quarters against the Knicks and Raptors were just terrible.

I'm actually glad we're making mistakes early in the season.  Easy to diagnose, and I trust that we will fix the problems accordingly.

Beauty.  Takes a bit to get it off but the stroke looks good.

Something is missing....Is it team ball, effort or chemistry???

Chemistry. All the subbing in and out makes it harder for them to develop a rhythm as well probably.

Chemistry and the inconsistent officiating on top of the rule changes = Choppy games.

The short preseason with all the preseason games played in the first week is causing the sloppy/choppy games and lack of chemistry.

Anybody notice Jaylen looks really unhappy? When Tatum hit that bucket in the end he had no emotion also just throughout the past couple games he’s looked off and checked out

This may be slightly exaggerated, but Jaylen was the one talking about players being afraid to step on each other's toes just a couple of weeks ago. Also, even though they get along very well, he is well aware of the praise and attention Tatum receives and he is watching Tatum sneakily become the team's best player. Jaylen is a competitive person - hopefully this just lights a fire and he will work even harder.

There was a play later in the game where Jaylen got the ball on a light break and he took a moving pull-up 3. Mike and Scal made an off-handed comment about how he hadn't shot in a while and it was understandable that he was trying to get his. It was a terrible shot, though.

The team all-around may have some jealousy issues. Brown wants to be a star in this league, Rozier and Morris are in contract years and neither seem particularly satisfied with their roles, Kyrie is just jacking up shot after shot even if it's not in the best interest of the team.

Hopefully as the season plays out, guys get more comfortable and understand that this can work for everybody, but they more need to develop Al's/Hayward's personalities (guys who were already massively paid) for that to happen.

There’s quite a lot of speculation here about what players may be feeling or thinking about their roles. Just perhaps, Brown was frustrated because he has high expectations of himself and he knew he wasn’t doing as well as he liked?  That is speculation too, but at least it’s not automatically assuming he is jealous of Tatum, or dislikes his role.  But have at it folks!  This is a road hazard of posting on an open forum.

We struggled to beat a lottery team and there were at least 3 players killing us that I have never heard of. Is this how it's going to be? Will we be in a battle until the end against Atlanta? Something is wrong.

When your on the road on the second night of a back to back, stuff like this happens. The important thing is that you win the game.

That is just excuses. There is no way that game should have been close based on the talent for each team. Also after losing a tough game last night to Toronto this should have been a blowout. What did Kyrie have like 10 points until the last few possessions? His shooting was off.
so, your answer to the question seems to be that the celtics are somehow fundamentally in trouble and have serious flaws or woes? and to say less is merely an excuse?

honestly 'tazo's explanation seems to be the more realistic explanation to me for now.

I don't think Jaylen looks unhappy but I do think he looks a bit uncertain about where his opportunities in the offense are going to come from. It feels like he is a bit in-and-out of the games offensively. Not always as involved as a player of his talent warrants. Not like he was late last year when Kyrie and Hayward where out.

The starting unit as a whole looks like they would be better off with one of those scorers coming off the bench and replacing that guy with a low-to-medium usage offensive player. Give everyone a bit more breathing room to best express their talents. It would give the bench a big lift too. To have a Ginobili-like figure entering the game a few minutes in.
