Game Notes

The Celtics begin another 3 game road trip in Atlanta to take on the Hawks for the 2nd of 4 regular season games.  The Celtics won a close one in Atlanta on November 6 by just 110-107.  They will face off two more times in Boston on February 4 and again on April 8. 

Both teams are coming off big wins with the Celtics beating the Warriors 92-88 in a defensive battle.  The Hawks were at the other end of the spectrum with a 126-80 win over the Sacramento Kings, shooting 63% from the floor and tallying 40 assists.  The first game against the Hawks was one of the few this season where the Celtics' defense slipped somewhat, allowing the Hawks to score 107 points. 

Luke Babbitt left the Hawks game against the Kings with back spasms and is listed as a game time decision for this game.  If he can't play, I expect either Ersan Ilyasova or John Collins to get the start.  Isaiah Taylor (eye) and Mike Muscala (ankle) are questionable.  DeAndre Bembry (wrist) is probable. and Miles Plumlee (quad) is out. 

The Celtics should be healthy other than Gordon Hayward who remains out with the ankle injury.  After struggling to adjust to the mask for the facial fracture, Kyrie discarded the mask and played the 4th quarter against the Warriors without it.  Whether he once again dons the mask for this game is unknown since playing without it is risky.  The last time we played the Hawks, Al Horford ended up with a concussion courtesy of Kent Bazemore, so Kyrie might want to be cautious.

When the Celtics played the Hawks in the beginning of November, Aron Baynes started at center with Irving, Brown, Tatum, and Horford.  However, Marcus Morris was not available for that game as it was back to back and he had just returned from the knee injury.  Morris started against the Warriors and so I am guessing that he will probably start this game as well. 

Key Matchups
(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/202681.png) vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/dennis_schroder.png)
Kyrie Irving vs Dennis Schroder
Schroder is playing very well in spite of the Hawks losing record.  He is averaging 19.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.2 steals.  He put up 23 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals vs the Celtics in their first meeting.  Kyrie must stay with him and keep him from having another big game.  Kyrie also has to make him work on the defensive end to keep him from being fresh on offense. 

(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/1627759.png) vs (http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203145.png)
Jaylen Brown vs Kent Bazemore
Bazemore is averaging 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.9 steals.  He struggled in the first meeting between these two teams with just 5 points and 5 turnovers.  He did pull down 8 rebounds, though.  Brown is coming off his best game of the season on both ends of the court and needs to continue that into this game. 

Honorable Mention
Al Horford vs Dewayne Dedmon
Dedmon is averaging 10.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 0.9 blocks per game.  He is shooting 61.1% from the field and 42.1% from beyond the arc.  Dedmon came up big for the Hawks in the 11/6 game with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks. 

Keys to the Game
Defense - Defense wins games.   The Celtics remain first in the league with a defensive rating of 95.4 while the Hawks are 22nd with a defensive rating of 106.4.  The Celtics have to keep making defense a priority and not let up on the effort necessary to get stops. The Celtics allowed the Hawks to score 107 points in their first meeting and they need to play much better defense in this game.  If they can hold the Warriors to 88 points they certainly should be able to keep the Hawks, who average 104.2 points per game, below 100. 

Take Care of the Ball - The Hawks are 3rd in the league in steals with 9.3 per game and 8th with 18.8 points off turnovers.  The Celtics have to avoid making sloppy passes and they have to be aware when dribbling to avoid turning the ball over as the Hawks will make them pay if they do. 

Rebound -  Rebounding gives the Celtics extra possessions and it also deprives the Hawks of the same.  The Celtics are  averaging 47.9 rebounds per game (2nd) while the Hawks are averaging 41.2 rebounds per game (23rd).   The Celtics need to continue to put out extra effort to win the battle of the boards.   


Be Aggressive
- The Celtics must be the team that plays harder and that wants this win more.  They have to be aggressive in diving for loose balls, in going to the basket, in getting stops on the defensive end, and in going after rebounds.  They have to play harder and be more aggressive from start to finish.  The more aggressive team will usually get the benefit of calls. 

X-Factors
Trap Game - This has the makings of a trap game.  Atlanta has just 3 wins this season.  The Celtics are coming off a huge win over the Warriors and may have a tendency to let down.   The Hawks are coming off a big win of their own that may have given them confidence.    The Celtics have to be careful not to underestimate the Hawks and they have to come out and play hard and respect the Hawks as a team that came close to beating them they first time they met. 

Focus On the Road - The Celtics are on the road and they have to focus on the game at hand and not the hostile crowd or the other distractions that a team faces when on the road.  Al Horford will likely face some boos after leaving the team last season for the Celtics.  He got a mixture of boos and cheers in the first game.   They need to be able to block all that out and focus on playing basketball.  Young players especially have to maintain their focus to avoid the pitfalls of road games.

Because they will distracted by looking ahead to the Mavs?   ;D  If anything it's the opposite of a trap game after GSW.

Call it a letdown game then.  After the emotional high of the Golden State win they might not have that same focus and intensity.

What I think will prevent such a game, however, is that Atlanta nearly won 12 days ago, so they’ll know to take them seriously.

I don't think we're underestimating them. I think they're just legitimately hitting everything they throw up so far. All three of their threes have been with a guy right in their face.

This game has trap written all over it.

Hoping for 15!
Because they will distracted by looking ahead to the Mavs?   ;D  If anything it's the opposite of a trap game after GSW.

Call it a letdown game then.  After the emotional high of the Golden State win they might not have that same focus and intensity.

What I think will prevent such a game, however, is that Atlanta nearly won 12 days ago, so they’ll know to take them seriously.

Guess I was wrong in my second paragraph.  Sadly should have stuck with my first.

Can't always be doing this man. Trailing by 17 or 20 every other night is unacceptable and is a cause for downfall down the road. Celtics gotta start off firing in all cylinders. The Hawks are a motivated bunch tonight. They want to be THE TEAM to snap that 14-game winning streak, that's their motivation!

Meh. Hot shooting to start by the Hawks on multiple contested threes, coupled with a few defensive breakdowns that led to Hawk layups.

Sky is not falling, but we have to pick up the energy.

Back in '87 I used to get p---ed watching the C's sleepwalk.  This seems similar.  Chucking it and just hoping it goes in, along with toreador defense on the speedier opponents.  We aren't cooked yet, but will need to get this under control.  Maybe one of our bench guys can bring some spark.

FTs aside, Jaylen's development is just stunning.  Most impressive is his defense which is just becoming stellar.  He also isn't the losing the ball on drives the way he did all last year (and after game 1 of summer league).  His rebounding has gone from timid to aggressive.   He is confident and persistent.  Though he's obviously hard on himself, he doesn't seem to dwell -- gets his head right back in the game. 

A week ago I was sure Tatum had the higher ceiling.  Starting to question that.  Though with one great performance by JT I'm sure I'll flip again.

Lol I could tell Smart was itching to shoot. He made that free throw, along with hitting that three after the buzzer. Mark your watch for the heat check coming up.

But that's very good to see. He was clearly down on himself, and it was affecting his entire game.

Horford's 3 has been off the past few games.

I think he's over thinking it. If he just shoots it off the catch when he has more space - I noticed it a lot in the GS game, he'll catch the ball, then bring it down, then pass back to a guard for a hand off, then get it back but by then the defense has recovered. If he shoots it that first time, it's a cleaner look.

Tatum has to be more ready to take those threes. He's let a few wide open shot opportunities go to waste due to not being ready. He's shooting nearly 50% from beyond the arc. He needs to take advantage of those opportunities.

Yep. Both Horford and Tatum have been stalling a bit like this and not going straight up with the shot. When Horford was shooting better he was going straight up with the shots.

Most of our offense has come from Brown (10pts), Smart (9?), and Morris (10?)

Also. The refs have been going nuts with tickytack fouls. Really taking us out of our game offensively.

Dedmon gets the soft call, but Tatum gets no call. These refs are maddeningly inconsistent.

Starting unit just isn't getting the job done, especially defensively.

Tatum looking a little lost but he's got company.

These last few possessions have been really good by him

If we didn't have Kyrie, I wouldn't be too upset with Schroder instead - I really like what he brings and his shot has come a LONG way.

Not a surprise since they are the only ones actually consistently putting the ball in the hoop.

On a serious note, though, I expect that part of their game to gradually get better as their careers progress. It is so gratifying watching our two blue chip prospects dominate when nobody else on the roster will, including our stars.

EDIT: Within 1 now.


i been watching them charge back into the game .  Theydestroyed thta 20 point lead like it was nothing .  40 points is not safe with Curry and them knocking threes.

holy crap GS was down almost 20 the last time I checked, now they are up 9....sheesh.  curry going off

I think I am all set with Larkin. He seems like a nice, hard working kid, but I am not sure why we often go with three guard sets featuring him. He has been playing a bit too much for my liking.

Nope. I simply don't understand Brad's fascination with playing units like this without any individual scorers. Screws us every single time, yet he continues to go to it.

We should NEVER be playing a unit without two of Kyrie, Al, Morris, or Tatum out there, let alone Brown. Inexcusable.

Get em rested. As long as our 2nd unit isn't falling behind, I'm good with the starters coming back in with their wind and their legs. I just wish Morris was in instead of Rozier.

My God, Brown is simply amazing.

Who would've thought that our second year player and our rookie would pretty much mitigate the loss of Hayward?

A well ground out win.

me too, it almost feels like we expect a win every game...

This is exactly my thought. It is refreshing to have a team that plays like the guys on top, instead of underdogs.

Great win tonight.  Smart made some outstanding plays down the stretch to slow down the Hawks offense.

I think this could have been a trap/letdown game.  As we kind of came out lethargic against the Hawks.

But as usual our Celtics clawed their way back and eventually took the lead and came away with the victory.

But did you see that Kyrie fade away 3 to push the lead to 9?  That was nasty!

Our offense looked terrible in the first quarter.

The subs in the second quarter started to move the ball really well and break down the defense. They looked a lot like the team from last year as they moved the ball. Marcus Morris and Terry Rozier were absolutely key in that stretch as we got comfortable on offense.

Though we were up and down in our offense in the third and fourth quarter, we moved the ball better than I've seen yet this season. That's really encouraging.

It led to an insanely efficient shooting night. If we took care of the ball more, we would have won by 20.

I can't wait until we put together a really good complete game.

They're not gonna be bad for long. Collins is great, Prince looks amazing. Shrooder(sp) can do things. I think they're gonna get a good draft pick this year then bounce back next year.

Tatum was a beast in the 3rd quarter.  14 points in that quarter alone including a very impressive coast to coast resulting in a dunk.

Brown was good the whole game.

Kyrie was good the whole game and helped 'close' when the Hawks thought they might have a hope of winning, he just slammed the door shut.

I love how GREAT our Celtics are at closing out games this season!
