Game Notes
The Heat and Celtics meet for the 4th and final time this season as both teams begin to gear up for the playoffs.  The Heat lead the season series 2-1 with the Celtics winning at home 100-98 and Miami winning at home on opening night 120-107 and in Boston 105-103 in their last meeting. 

Both teams have been resting their starters in recent games.  Boston has announced that both KG and Paul Pierce will sit this one out, however they traveled with the team and may play in Saturday's game vs Orlando.   Dwyane Wade is projected to return for this game after missing the last 6 games.   Although they are listed as starting in Miami's Game Notes,  LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Udonis Haslem are all considered  game time decisions.   I'm thinking that they may end up sitting out since Doc is sitting his two stars. 

The playoff picture, while not completely set is getting clearer.  The Heat have clinched home court for the entire playoffs.  The Celtics are still in 7th, 3 games ahead of Milwaukee with 4 games left.  They are 2.5 games behind Atlanta in 6th.  So, it looks like the Celtics will stay in the 7th spot.   With the Knicks 2.5 games ahead of the Pacers for 2nd.   Barring the Celtics losing all 4 of their remaining games and the Bucks winning all of theirs, the Heat should face the Bucks and the Celtics should face the Knicks in round 1.     

The Celtics are playing in the first of back to back games and will play in Orlando on Saturday.   This could have factored in their decision to sit KG and Pierce rather than play them back to back at this point of the season.  This game really means little in the long run but could be a chance for the Celtics reserves to get more experience  going into the playoffs.   The most important thing for the Celtics at this point is to avoid any further injuries. 

Key Matchups

Avery Bradley/Courtney Lee  vs Mario Chalmers/Dwyane Wade
The Celtics "Pit Bull" backcourt will need to contain the Heat's backcourt players.   I expect Bradley and Lee to tag team against Chalmers and Wade to keep Miami from getting into their offense and disrupting Wade especially from getting into rhythm and getting hot on offense. 

(http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/jason_terry.jpg)  vs  (http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/ray_allen.jpg)
Jason Terry vs Ray Allen 
With all the publicity about Ray Allen's defection to Miami and the Celtics bringing in Jason Terry, this has been an anticipated matchup of scorers off the bench.   Once again, both players will be trying to prove that their team made the right decision in signing them.  After all of JET's talking about how much he hates the Heat, I expect him to give this one a little extra effort. 

Keys to the Game
Defense
Both teams pride themselves on their defense and defense is always a key to winning.   The Celtics have struggled somewhat on defense without KG and also while they try to acclimate all the new faces into the defense.  Hopefully, with the chance to practice during this last stretch, the Celtics will get their defense ready for the playoffs, where defense becomes even more important.  If the Celtics want to win this game, they will have to play lock down team defense for 48 minutes. 

Rebound
The Heat are the only team in the league that rebound worse than the Celtics.   The Celtics are 29th while the Heat are 30th.  .    The Celtics need to crash the boards and prevent the Heat from getting second chance baskets and tip ins.  They can also limit Miami's fast breaks  and get some fast break opportunities of their own by crashing the boards.   They must rebound as a team with everyone going to the basket to box out or rebound. 

Be Aggressive
The Celtics have to be aggressive in going to the basket and not settle for jumpers, especially if they aren't falling.   They have to dive for loose balls and be aggressive in crashing the  boards.    The starters need to come out and play aggressively from the beginning and the second unit needs to come in and pick up where they leave off.  They have to attack the basket and be aggressive on defense.   

X-Factors
On the Road and Injuries
The Celtics are on the road and have not played well on the road this season.  However,  they must find a way to focus and to win on the road because they won't have home court in any series this post season. 

In these last few games, it's going to be hard to predict who will play and who won't.  The Celtics have announced that KG and Pierce are definitely out.  It will depend on which players are out for the Heat to determine how tough this game will be for the Celtics.

Even with KG out, what makes you think Doc will give Shav the 20 minutes he'd need to put up these kind of numbers  ;)

I think saying I'm "excited" would be too strong a word, but I'm definitely still engaged.  Our magic number for the seventh seed over Milwaukee is still at two with four games left.  Our guys still have something to play for.

Bulls showed there's a way to beat Miami.  Play them physical...body to body.  Someone like Hinrich taking down Lebron when he was coming down the lane like a freight train is very impressive to me.  When you foul them foul them hard.  Unfortunately we don't have our toughest player on the team for the rest of the season

Hinrich is the man. Make him an honorary Celtic. Or better yet Danny go get him - would love to see him in green.

What a joke. These guys have been sitting out left and right, and now they decide to suit up, when Pierce and KG are out? Sounds to me like they're just itching to pound Boston by 40, just for grins and giggles. And with no KG and Pierce, they probably will come pretty close to that.

Not really. Have been ready for the playoffs for the past month as is usually the case this time of year.

On paper this game won't even be close. Should be over by halftime.

Yeah, me too.

I haven't found the regular season enjoyable for awhile now. Short-handed roster. Further injuries to KG and Pierce missing some games too. Several scrubs getting court time. So-so performances.

I just want the playoffs to start. For the best players to be back in action and playing long minutes. For the scrubs to be glued to the bench. And let's see we got here.

Well, you never know.....didn't San Antonio come close to beating MIA without their Big guns?

Don't count BOS out just yet.

the Celts would never hire birdman...they don't like tatoo guys here i think...

I'm glad Ray left. I think he likes the idea of another ring. I hope we can spoil his party.

LeBron is the only guy who can defend Jeff Green tonight.

Any time LeBron is out of the game, Jeff Green has gotta attack whoever is on him. Mike Miller. Rashard Lewis. Chris Andersen. Udonis Haslem. Ray Allen. None of them can guard him effectively.

I'm actually pretty interested to see Shavlik next year.  He's not a good defender at this point, but I think most of his struggles are due to a lack of familiarity with the system.  He puts in the effort, but he's frequently a step slow. 

We'll see how a training camp and preseason with the team helps him in that area.

To be honest, Sean Williams played 42 minutes last year, in only three games. DJ has already played 51 in 9 games. He's had more than enough time to prove himself; he's failed.

Bradley need s Rondo to create of large majority of his offense.

He is in a terrible shooting slump.  Hopefully this doesn't end up as his norm.  I'd take somewhere in between last year and this year.

He's young and still hasn't had a real offseason to work on his game.  I like his upside on offense, even if he's been turning in some pretty cringe-worthy offensive performances recently.

Ray's also looking more comfortable in their offense.  tommy's making that point for me -- Ray's playing like pre-Celtic Ray on offense instead of just run-around-screens-for-Doc Ray

lol

Lol at the Heat announcers calling the Bass travel... this is just high comedy.

Terry should start playing and ****.

Go Celtics!
Seriously, especially since their beloved LeBron went around the world with his travel earlier in the game without a call.

Is it too late to trade Jason Terry?

To say he's been worthless this season is an understatement...

JET has a 40-point game in the Playoffs (in a Celtics loss),  and we will complain.

um, no. 

real victories are always better than moral victories.  didn't expect a real victory but if you think Lee gained confidence from this game and that's a victory, that's garbage.

Lee's a pro.  he better be confident already.  what he needs to get is a clue how to be consistently productive on offense.

They don't mean much, especially when your two best players are sitting out, but that certainly doesn't qualify your statement.  Moral victories are generic sports headlines and stories in professional sports.

1) Jeff Green might be hurt.

We didn't even get blown out... even with their three-pointer bombardment. It's being made out to be much worse than it really is, I think...

We got production out of Green who just goes invisible when KG is on the floor, Crawford who's extremely streaky so one game doesn't mean much, and Bass who is indeed having a nice stretch of games...

Other than that nothing... I expected JET to show up, he didn't... same goes for AB who just looks offensively deficient. also the big guys other than Bass did literally nothing... oh, and our defense looked horrific for yet another game. the 3-point bombardment was a result of our poor perimeter defense, the Heat seemed to be toying with us after the end of the 1st!

Yeah, that second quarter was dreadful. 41 points is a joke. Just get shot-clock violations every possession and you could do better. >:(

But the first quarter was decent. Green and Craw leading the way, can't wait for playoffs.

+1

Valiant effort by our C's, without KG and Pierce.

If anything, this is a WIN for BOS--Bass, Crawford, Lee, AB...ALL of them played well without our two leaders.

This was a CONFIDENCE game, and we won that category by a longshot.

Get the team BELIEVING that they can compete with the best...WITHOUT KG and PP....the MENTAL aspect of this is HUGE...

Gotta get by NY 1st, and they will be tough, but I can't wait for BOS to see MIA in May or June. Time to settle this thing with them.

I didn't take anything really bad from this game except that we need KG and Pierce to compete with them obviously, but couple things stood out.

1. Bradley owns Wade, plays him probably the best out of the entire league.

2. Our offense stinks, its funny to say but I'm not even worried about our defense its offensively that we have got to make shots. There's no way we have a shot against the Knicks if guys shots don't start falling because the Knicks can shoot.

3. Jeff Green is officially a Miami Heat killer it's like those guys in red jerseys get stuck in quicksand when he touches the ball
