Bulls at Boston Celtics: Game Preview #30

Print[Thanks to pocketwatch for today's game preview. Game Thread at 2:30 -yfbb]
Finally, we get to play a decent team. We haven't had a game against a team over .500 in more than a week (5 games to be exact), and we've taken advantage of it by setting an NBA record with four straight 20+ point road wins. The blowouts have been nice, but not exactly fun to watch. I will definitely take this back if we win by 20+ at Boston.
We've lost our last 4 games against playoff caliber teams (@Philly, @Miami, Indiana, and @Memphis) and are 5-5 overall against teams above .500 this year. This shouldn't be concerning with the high level we've been playing at, but it's just something to think about. One of those wins did come against the struggling Celtics in mid January though, led by Luol "Luolstar?" Deng's 21 points and 16 rebounds.
Derrick Rose wouldn't commit as to whether or not he would play tomorrow, but I'm going to guess he'll be out there. I think we can all agree that seeing Rose destroy Rondo and in the process lead us to victory over Boston (which would secure Thibs coaching the All-Star team) on national TV would be the best Sunday afternoon.
The Celtics come into Sunday with a 14-12 record (7-3 in their last 10) after consecutive tough losses at Toronto and home against the Lakers. These are not the Celtics we are used to, and I'm sure I'm not the only one taking satisfaction in their mediocrity. They have had trouble scoring the ball this year with an ORtg of 101.6 (21st), and I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it has something to do with their bench. Nobody outside of Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Garnett, and Bass getting more than 10 minutes per game has a PER over 13. This is compared to the Bulls who have 10 guys under the same criteria. Advantage - Bulls bench, obviously. I mean...O'Neal, Pietrus, Dooling, and Bradley all average 17+ MPG and have an average PER of 9.1. So, uh, yeah...that's really bad.
Meanwhile, Paul Pierce (18.1), Ray Allen (14.8), and Kevin Garnett (14.0) are all averaging their lowest PPG output since their rookie years. This isn't exactly shocking considering they are a combined 106 years old and trying to survive this crazy lockout schedule. What is shocking is that at 36, Allen is having the most efficient shooting season of his already impressive career. He is hitting a ridiculous 51% of his 5.1 3PA per game and is sporting an eFG% of 60%. Yet he is averaging a career low 10.7 shots per game. Early on in this season, he is quietly having one of the best shooting years ever (and apparently so is Brandon Rush???) and is worth keeping an eye on. Hardwood Paroxysm has a good write up on Allen. GET THIS GUY SOME MORE SHOTS (just not against us).
On the other side of the ball, the Celtics remain as stingy as ever with a DRtg of 97.7 (3rd) and actually play at a slower pace than us. The old guys can still lock it down in the half court it appears. Especially with a little help from their alien friend.
Some more Rondo hate after the jump.
We can all agree that Fuck Rondo, and apparently Bill Simmons is now hopping on the bandwagon too. In his most recent NBA column, Simmons comes to terms with the Rondo suck.
Am I slowly coming to the realization that I've been in deep denial about the Rondo era? Yeah, a little bit. Any smart team (like the Lakers last night) plays six feet off Rondo in tight games, daring him to shoot, paralyzing Boston's offense and leading to the dreaded "Clogged Toilet" play (Pierce ending up with the ball 25 feet from the hoop with seven seconds left trying to create something). It's almost like playing with a handicap. Screw that, it IS like playing with a handicap. ... For the first time, I find myself hoping they deal Rondo .... He needs a change of scenery, and really, so might Celtics fans. I can't watch another 84-82 game with his guy playing five feet off him. I really can't. Enough already.
Amazing observation, Bill! Who knew Rondo couldn't shoot? Mind blowing.
It's almost like Rondo is the one who took Shawn Bradley's talent.
Looking at some of the CelticsBlog comments on recent posts, it looks like a lot of them are down on Rondo too. I believe this qualifies as some sort of BaB porn?
As for actual on court production against the Bulls, Rondo has locked down Derrick defensively holding Rose to 26.4 PPG since the start of 2010.
The Celtics are near the bottom of the league in most rebounding statistics and this is obviously an area where the Bulls excel. The Bulls lead the league in OReb% grabbing 31.3%. The Celtics are on the opposite side of the spectrum with 22.8% which is good enough for 29th. Our front court should absolutely dominate. Barring a Pierce/Allen/KG/Rondo monstrous game, the Bulls should (will?) win.
Injuries according to cbssports.com
Boston:
Keyon Dooling - out - oblique
Jermaine O'Neal - questionable - shoulder
Sasha Pavlovic - questionable - wrist
Bulls:
Richard Hamilton - out - groin/thigh
Derrick Rose - doubtful - back
Things of note:
- We currently have the best ORtg in the league at 108.4 to complement our 2nd best in the league 96.8 DRtg.
- Did you know we have also had the easiest strength of schedule so far? That probably inflates the above numbers a little bit.
- Carlos Boozer is averaging 10 points in our 6 losses. We don't need a huge game against Boston, just be solid on the boards, not atrocious on defense, and hit some jumpers. Just gimme dat, Carlos.
- Kyle Korver has hit multiple treys in 9 of his 10 last games. Love seeing him make the most of his PT.
Let's conclude this post with a visit to a few great moments in the history of Rose vs. Rondo & the Celtics
Crossover on Rondo, up and around Krstic
Rose blocks Rondo to seal an epic 3OT victory in the 1st round of the '09 playoffs to force game 7
Scalabrine shouldn't try to dunk
Game is at 2:30 Central on ABC. Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy with the call.

Hold on. Garnett actually looks like the Alien. Lets be accurate with our alien comparisons. Check out these pictures.
Okay. Now Garnett is the picture on the top. The Alien (pictured below) is played by a 7 ft Nigerian so it is even more striking when you see a full-body shot of the alien. Rondo is ET.

Yeah, that's pretty funny.
I was laughing my butt off reading that guy saying Lin is the number 1 point guard as a reality then just a few posts down saying it isn’t realistic to expect he will be at the end of the season….so why did you post this and defend it based on 5 games?
It’s also strange to realize Boston’s own fans want to trade and get rid of the only good player with a future on the team. I guess they are finally waking up to the reality that the alien ain’t gonna get them to the promised land.

I think it's fair
Lin has played like the best point guard, so when ranking them based on what has actually happened, you put Lin at 1. However, you can also admit it’s unlikely his play that got the #1 ranking will continue.
I think that cbs listing Rose as "doubtful" is laughable
We all know him; he wants to play and he’s already said he’s frustrated because he isn’t 100%. He won’t willingly miss making Rondo look like a fool.

This will be a very interesting game
have no idea how its going to go with us being the road team
48 minutes of intensity
I think we're gonna get a good chance to see if our offense recently has been a mirage due to playing poor teams
or if it’s the real deal. We should still be able to hold them down, but it’s gonna be tough to find points against that team, particularly if it’s close late in the game. I think we’re either gonna win by 10 or so, or lose.

Probably, the only real fear is Pierce going off on a less than 100% Deng but even that seems like a remote possibility.
In the long run I don’t really care what the Bulls’ record is against top teams. If Rose, Hamilton and Deng aren’t healthy enough to compete in late March who gives a shit?

If we get super-jumpshot Brewer from the beginning of the season, I think the offense will be fine.
Otherwise it should be a close one.

I think it will be a close game either way
but I agree with you that this game will determine whether our offense is for real or not. The Nets, Bobcats, and Hornets are not necessarily quality measuring sticks.

Considering the Bulls are missing two of their main 4 offensive players.
I’m gonna go ahead and say this isn’t a good time to measure how good the offense really is.

Thats the point that JBJ was making I believe
the opponents that we have faced off against minus Rose or with Rose playing through the back pains have been cupcakes. This is a chance for us to see how good the offense is against a legitimate squad without relying on Rose. Even with Rose in the playoffs, we have to become accustomed to having to resort to a Plan B with mass coverage on Rose. So this is a good opportunity for us.
48 minutes of intensity
Well, you can't really measure how good the offense is without 2 of it's starters, but I agree.
The entire way the Bulls are guarded is changed with Rip and Rose in the lineup. Rip is a better shooter and better transition player than Ronnie. Obviously Rose is a bigger threat to do anything than CJ is, even with all respect to how well CJ has been playing this year.

Also, the attention to the Harvard thing. Even the Ivy League recruits for athletics, not just academics, so he’s not necessarily that bright. And then they talk about a 3.1 GPA, but the fact is, a B average at an Ivy is pretty bad.

He's probably not as bright as the typical Harvard man
But Harvard doesn’t lower their standards for athletes as much as, say, Duke, so he’s gotta be at least pretty smart (whereas you can make no such claim about Carlos Boozer). Also, Lin wasn’t that big of a name coming out of high school. Besides, it’s also really hard for Asians to get into Ivies due to their affirmative action policies, so that balances things out a little bit. Also, a 3.1 GPA in Econ isn’t “pretty bad”. It’s not great, but it’s not awful either.
Pat Riley is the devil.
My GPA at an Ivy was over 3.5 and I was barely in the top third of my class.

Like I said, a 3.1 GPA isn't great
But it’s not awful either. Econ’s one of the more competitive majors at Harvard, and it’s Harvard, so everybody’s a lot smarter than your average bear. Also, it’s pretty difficult to balance athletics with school. I’m not saying Lin’s a genius, but he’s probably a lot smarter than your average NBA player.
