Game Notes

The Celtics begin a 3 game road trip with a stop in Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder.  This is the first of two games between these two teams with the Thunder visiting the Celtics on March 20.  The Thunder swept the series 2-0 last season. The Celtics are 2-0 vs Western Conference teams while the Thunder are 4-0 vs Eastern Conference teams. 

The Thunder are 2-1 at home while the Celtics are 3-1 on the road.  The Thunder have 3 legitimate All Stars on their team and they have continuity on their side, having started the same 5 players in each game so far.  The Celtics lost their third All Star in the first game of the season and have had to change up their starting lineup a few times. 

The Thunder have no injuries to report.  Gordon Hayward is out for the Celtics.  Marcus Morris has yet to play this season but he traveled with the team and is targeting this game for his debut with the team.  His availability will be a game time decision.  If he can play, it would definitely give the team a boost to finally have him on the court.

Key Matchups
(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Irving_Kyrie_bos17.jpg) vs (http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Westbrook_Russell_okc1617.jpg)
Kyrie Irving vs Russell Westbrook
Westbrook is the reigning league MVP and is averaging 19.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 11.7 assists.   Kyrie will need his newfound defense to slow Westbrook down.  This is a big test for the Celtics and is on National TV and so it would be a good time for Kyrie to be Kyrie and have a big game.

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Tatum_Jayson_bos17.jpg) vs  (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/George_Paul_okc17.jpg)
Jayson Tatum vs Paul George
George is averaging 19.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists.  Tatum will need to play play solid defense both in the paint and on the perimeter because George is a threat both inside and out. The Celtics will also need Tatum to produce on the offensive end to keep PG13 working on that end as well. 

(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Horford_Al_bos1617.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Anthony_Carmelo_okc17.jpg) 
Al Horford vs Carmelo Anthony
Anthony is averaging a team high 22.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists.  Al has been a defensive stopper so far for Antetokounmpo, Porzingis, and LaMarcus Aldridge but Carmelo Anthony may be his toughest assignment yet.  Hopefully he will be up to the task. 

Honorable Mention

Aron Baynes vs Steven Adams
This will be a clash of the titans.   Both centers are tough and aren't afraid of banging inside.  We should see some mighty battles for position in the paint between these two.  Adams is averaging 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.  Baynes will need to keep him out of the paint and away from the basket. 

Keys to the Game
Rebound
- The Celtics have turned their fortunes around on the boards by group rebounding.  They are 6th in the league with 47.1 rebounds per game.  The Thunder are 24th in the league with 42.4 rebounds per game.  The Celtics will need to continue their effort and hustle on the boards in this game.

Defense - Defense is always a key to winning.  The Celtics will need to defend the perimeter as well as the inside because they have players who can score both inside and out.  The Celtics are first with a defensive rating of 95.1 while the Thunder are right behind them in second place with a defensive rating of 95.9.  This may be a low scoring affair between the two best defenses in the league.  The Celtics must continue to make defense their priority if they want to win this game.   

Be Aggressive - The Celtics have to be aggressive and fight for loose balls, 50/50 balls, and rebounds, and be aggressive on defense and in going to the hoop.  They have to be the more aggressive team and the one that wants it more.  They simply have to play harder, especially since they are on the road. 

Take Care of the Ball - The Thunder are first in steals with 10.7 per game and also first in deflections (18.6) and forcing opponent turnovers (19.0)  The Celtics have to keep the ball moving and avoid playing hero ball but they also have to make crisp passes and focus on avoiding turnovers and deflections by the Thunder's quick hands. 

Run and Set the Pace
- The Celtics need to run on every possession and try to tire the Thunder's starters since the Celtics are the deeper team.  If they can tire the Thunders starters out, the Celtics will have an advantage when their benchs come in. 

X-Factors
On the Road - The Celtics are on the road and the Chesapeake Energy Arena is one of the toughest places to play.  Their fans are loud and make it tough for teams coming there.  The Celtics have to focus on playing their game and not let the distractions of the road take them out of their game.

Bench Play
- The Celtics bench is averaging 50.2 points and 19.4 rebounds per game.  The Thunder bench is averaging just 27 points and 13.3 rebounds per game.  If the Thunder have any weakness it is when their starters come out of the game to rest.  The Celtics reserves have to come up big and take advantage of that.

It will be a test especially for this defense, as they've gone 6 straight w/o giving up more than 100 points.

But against OKC they may have that streak halted, so offense will have to step up too. Looking for Kyrie to have a big game (and first 30+ score this season).

going to be a tough game for the C's but I think a win hinges on the performance of the C's bench.  a good game from them and the C's should win -- particularly if Smart/Rozier can slow down Westbrook somewhat

Smart loves playing in OKC.  His career line is 20.7/7.7/5.3, shooting 56.4% from the field, and 52.3% from 3.  If that version of Smart shows up again, this is an easy win given how well the team is playing.

Wizards are in a bad mood about Suns loss,  they are at home and Morris back for them .Team Lebron looking to hush the critics .   This game has the makings of one of the best of the new season. 

Go Celtics !

yes....I see Theis and Semi playing a huge role if this team is gonna win .  Both teams with a finisher , could be nail biter with winning shot with a sec or less on the clock.     Look for,th last minutes to be a one on one game.  ....Westbrook vs Uncle Drew ......show down at the OKC corral.

It's funny, Theis has pretty much flourished in all of the minutes he's been given except for the one start. The guy has been solid.  He and Baynes have complemented each other well for the center minutes.  Amazing to see Semi develop a little role for himself too.

Guys are definitely making the most of the gaping hole created by Hayward's injury.

Hopefully Tatum can continue to grow in those second unit minutes.

In the SAC game, Theis did most of his damage against their backup C, Kosta Koufos.  I like Theis coming off the bench in his 1st season.

Morris playing tonight! I'm pretty excited to see what he can bring to this team.

NICE!!

I know he may be a bit limited since it's his first game, but I think we'll really need him tonight against a ferocious OKC team.

I got to admit I never liked Morris...but he is a Celtic now so I will give him a chance .
I hope he proves me wrong .

Aron Baynes vs Steven Adams
This will be a clash of the titans.   Both centers are tough and aren't afraid of banging inside.  We should see some mighty battles for position in the paint between these two.  Adams is averaging 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.  Baynes will need to keep him out of the paint and away from the basket. 

The battle of the Aussies!

Technically, Adams is a Kiwi and not an Aussie :D

Also technically, Baynes was born in New Zealand. Not sure if that qualifies him as a Kiwi. If it does, then we have a Battle of the Kiwis on our hands.

Excited to see the C's v. a competitive Western Conf team.   Unlike last year, this C's team seems to take nothing for granted (C's were cocky and lackadaisical at times last year).  This year we have a more talented group that tries to prove itself each night and doesn't seem prone to giving up big leads as last year's team did constantly.

Aron's parents moved to Australia when he was just a baby. He is a very proud Australian.

horrible start from Kyrie.  much different player with elite athletes on the floor.  because he plays below the rim, he actually seems to play much small than IT did.

also, I wish we drafted Adams.  and Tatum is ridiculously good.  aside from his iso scoring, his off-the-ball movement is fantastic this game.

If the Celtics do not retaliate for what Westbrook just did to Brown, it may not bode well for how teams view them the rest of the season. You have to send a message to Westbrook that you cannot do that to our teammate.

celtics had 3-4 easy shots they missed from in close. make those and the game is pretty close.

Brown's road struggles continue.  He scores 20.3 PPG on 61% shoot at home.  On the road he scores 12.3 PPG on 34%.  That's the next step in his development - consistency.

Rough shooting tonight for the Celtics.

OKC made a couple of tough shots early and have played good enough defense to maintain the advantage. I think the Celtics just need to keep it close and they'll be fine.

So I just realized... Jayson Tatum is Age 19 and born March 3, 1998...

So he was born just 2 days after me...  :o
I wish you hadn't said that.  I'm feeling really old now

LOL I'm legit two days older than him. Such a strange feeling..

Man I was in high school during that time. How do you think I feel? Young. I still feel young

Little understanding of players' roles on this team.  Kyrie shouldn't be on the floor if Smart is iso'ing 35 feet from the basket.  He's nothing more than a liability in that regard.

They just need to shoot, especially Kyrie and Tatum. They're both good enough shooters that they should be taking pretty much any open three they get, but both of them want to hesitate and try taking their guy off the dribble first.

Bad habits are hard to break. IT was similar when he first came here, but he learned to take many more of those open threes. Hopefully both of them will in time, too.

OKC is playing really well and the Celtics are not.  A lot of guys are off and also some passing up good shots.

Like with the Bucks, the lack of shooting on the Celtics is showing more now.  I think even more than with the Bucks because Steven Adams is a lot better than any big on their team.

I'm hoping they can figure out how to counter the defense.  Steven usually does.

Kyrie is ****ing useless with Westbrook on him.  Brad needs to sit the kid if we're going to make a dent in this lead.  Look at the difference between he and Jaylen Brown - it's absolutely absurd.  Physically, one can hang in this game, and the other can't.  Problem is, we traded away what will potentially be another Jaylen Brown-level prospect, an arguably better player, and a starting SF for him.  SMH.  I want to see him fail.  He can wear his little post-game mittens in Minnesota.

I gotta give it to the C's.  They came out with some more toughness in the 3rd.  It wasn't always pretty, but we fought our way back into this one.  Gotta keep attacking the basket.  No more passive play on offense.

I wasn't crazy about the decision, but Marcus got to the rim and should have finished.

I think I'd like to see Kyrie play most of the 4th, along with Horford playing most of it, too. Need to capitalize when all three of their main guys aren't out there, especially with Kyrie getting going a bit now.

We need Morris and Smart on the court. I can see a scuffle developing before this one is over.

It's such a relief that he's doing it for us now.  He can flat out demoralize a defense.

Really happy he's with us.

Kyrie is ****ing useless with Westbrook on him.  Brad needs to sit the kid if we're going to make a dent in this lead.  Look at the difference between he and Jaylen Brown - it's absolutely absurd.  Physically, one can hang in this game, and the other can't.  Problem is, we traded away what will potentially be another Jaylen Brown-level prospect, an arguably better player, and a starting SF for him.  SMH.  I want to see him fail.  He can wear his little post-game mittens in Minnesota.

They arr collapsing on kyrie.. because brown shot frok deep is off..

I really don't give a ****.  He's a superstar.  Play like it.  I don't even care if he can't hang -- we gave up too much for him not to play with some chops.  It pains me that Boston fans are not shredding him.  He's such a little cupcake.

No, he's definitely been way too passive tonight. It's nights like tonight that he has to be the "guy" that he wanted to be. He needs to take over.

Thank you, jp.  I don't care if a guy goes down swinging.. but at least take some initiative and fight out there.  That's all I want to see in a game like this.  These can be confidence-altering games, esp for such a young team.

You went ghost.. where u at?????

Watching.  I gave him credit in my last post.  Thankfully he has done his job for half of the 4th quarter.  Thank God for the consistency of Horford and Jaylen throughout.  This game is now on Kyrie - his to win or lose.  And I'll give credit where it's due.

Kyrie is ****ing useless with Westbrook on him.  Brad needs to sit the kid if we're going to make a dent in this lead.  Look at the difference between he and Jaylen Brown - it's absolutely absurd.  Physically, one can hang in this game, and the other can't.  Problem is, we traded away what will potentially be another Jaylen Brown-level prospect, an arguably better player, and a starting SF for him.  SMH.  I want to see him fail.  He can wear his little post-game mittens in Minnesota.

They arr collapsing on kyrie.. because brown shot frok deep is off..

I really don't give a ****.  He's a superstar.  Play like it.  I don't even care if he can't hang -- we gave up too much for him not to play with some chops.  It pains me that Boston fans are not shredding him.  He's such a little cupcake.

No, he's definitely been way too passive tonight. It's nights like tonight that he has to be the "guy" that he wanted to be. He needs to take over.

Thank you, jp.  I don't care if a guy goes down swinging.. but at least take some initiative and fight out there.  That's all I want to see in a game like this.  These can be confidence-altering games, esp for such a young team.

You went ghost.. where u at?????

Watching.  I gave him credit in my last post.  Thankfully he has done his job for half of the 4th quarter.  Thank God for the consistency of Horford and Jaylen throughout.  This game is now on Kyrie - his to win or lose.  And I'll give credit where it's due.

I can respect that... Just understand ecery game has a different flow.. kyrie found his spot and killed it

I knew we could come back. we made some stupid choices AT TIMES but overall we were missing some open JAYS and we missed a BUNCH AT THE BASKET. never ever stop going to the basket.

Kyrie is ****ing useless with Westbrook on him.  Brad needs to sit the kid if we're going to make a dent in this lead.  Look at the difference between he and Jaylen Brown - it's absolutely absurd.  Physically, one can hang in this game, and the other can't.  Problem is, we traded away what will potentially be another Jaylen Brown-level prospect, an arguably better player, and a starting SF for him.  SMH.  I want to see him fail.  He can wear his little post-game mittens in Minnesota.

They arr collapsing on kyrie.. because brown shot frok deep is off..

I really don't give a ****.  He's a superstar.  Play like it.  I don't even care if he can't hang -- we gave up too much for him not to play with some chops.  It pains me that Boston fans are not shredding him.  He's such a little cupcake.

No, he's definitely been way too passive tonight. It's nights like tonight that he has to be the "guy" that he wanted to be. He needs to take over.

Thank you, jp.  I don't care if a guy goes down swinging.. but at least take some initiative and fight out there.  That's all I want to see in a game like this.  These can be confidence-altering games, esp for such a young team.

You went ghost.. where u at?????

Watching.  I gave him credit in my last post.  Thankfully he has done his job for half of the 4th quarter.  Thank God for the consistency of Horford and Jaylen throughout.  This game is now on Kyrie - his to win or lose.  And I'll give credit where it's due.

I can respect that... Just understand ecery game has a different flow.. kyrie found his spot and killed it

Back at you.

Credit where it's due - Kyrie played great in the clutch.  He hit some big time shots.  But imo, it was his penetration and kicks to Al (who was remarkable) for 3s that won this game.  He's much, much better at penetrating than I thought.  I hope he becomes more consistent there, and guys need to make shots.  Also, I thought their PnR switch to get Adams on Kyrie would be a bad move - felt sure others could help off and Kyrie wouldn't finish - but he made a great finish. 

Props to Smart for starting that penetration earlier in the 4, Jaylen for his aggression, offensive contributions, and rebounding.  Ojelye, Smart, et. all stepped up when it mattered.  Big road win for a young team. 

So, while I'd argue my frustration was warranted, I was clearly wrong in doubting Kyrie tonight.

I was getting antsy when Brad left the group out there with Baynes, Semi, etc so long to start the 4th quarter. Baynes was exhausted, but then, he brought Al & Kyrie back in with 7 minutes, both were fresh, and dominated the final minutes of the game.

I haven't had this much fun with a Celtics team in the regular season since I was a  kid watching Larry Bird.

yes!

Jaylen Brown always keeps his head up and keeps playing!

I'll be honest, I don't think last year's team pulls off that comeback.

I know they had a lot of comebacks, but they probably could not have come back from this game with the lack of interior strength/rebounding (via Baynes and co.), and with how awful they started (esp. if Isaiah was contained).

Now they have rebounding, bruisers, more scoring options, and a DEEP bench. Kudos to Ainge, he built a great team!  ;D

Very impressive win, especially after being down 18 and on the verge of breaking our winning streak.

As much as I loved IT and what he did in the 4th quarter last year, I never felt as "comfortable" as I am with Kyrie in that situation : it just seems he can score at will and easily in money time while IT did score too but not as easily, he really worked for his points. We've already come to the point where I feel supremely confident when Kyrie has the ball in the 4th and he definitely looks more comfortable running the offense. I did not like him in Cleveland and wasn't a fan of the trade although I understood the rationale but he's won me over, so far he keeps up on all his promises (even on defense).

I also love "bad" Horford, he couldn't miss from 3 and made huge baskets down the stretch.

Brown is bigger,longer and I feel a more versatile defender than AB.  KI is a much better defender than IT in every area.  Crowder was solid and I liked his defense but Tatum was been outstanding for a rookie and will only get better. This whole team is  filled with good defenders and they are young.  And all this without Hayward. With Morris just getting healthy there should be even more defensive depth on this team.

I took my wife to the ER last night and she didn't want to go because she didn't want to miss the Celtics game. I DVR taped it and insured we would watch it after. Lo and behold it was on ESPN and when we were in the room I found the channel on the TV and we watched the entire game in the room. A few yells from the room probably raised a few eyebrows in the ER area but who cares. What a GREAT win. When she came back from the CT scan it was halftime and we were down 18. It was looking bleak and a HUGE comeback. Al & Kyrie were special. I will give a little pass on Jaylen and the free throws since he was nearly concussed with the blow(s) to the head but man Jaylen you need to practice.

I knew Baynes would resolve some of this matter.   I worried about Brown guarding SG's but he has done very well.   Horford folks is a very tough player who never gets riled up or gives up.

Jaylen and Tatum have really stepped up.   Our length and athleticism is good now it was not in the past.

I never do the comparisons and appreciate what IT did in his time here but no way he does what Kyrie did last night and has been doing. You can bottle up IT and on the other end it’s a nightmare trying to cover for him on defense especially going up against somebody like Russ.

Kyrie on the flip side diced up the entire OKC defense and was straight clutch. When he’s rolling he’s unstoppable. We’re seeing why this trade was a no brainer.

I can’t even remember the last times we beat OKC and San Antonio and he was a huge reason why. The Celtics will be a tough out in the playoffs and we all know that’s when he steps his game up even more. Loving this team right now.

All of the primary Celtics had big moments in our game last night.

Tatum kept us in the game in the 1st half.
Brown had a stretch in the 3rd where he played solid defense, got rebounds, and drove to the basket to draw multiple shooting fouls.
Irving of course had a monster second half.
Horford had a great 4th quarter.
Morris provided two-way energy in the 3rd.
Even Baynes had a couple monster stops at the rim in the second half.

It really was a team win. It was cool to see our guys stepping up within their roles to will our team to victory.
