Tonight, the Celtics will wrap up the road part of their 2014 schedule when they head over to Philadelphia for one more game against the rival 76ers. So far this season, the Celts have gone just 1-2 against the Sixers, however, their one win did come in Philly. So yea, maybe their's a trend going on here. It's unlikely, but it's possible, isn't it? Anyway, here's tonight's five things:
5. GET BETTER SHOOTING FROM JOHNSON:
Since the season's almost over, it's likely that Chris Johnson will play a lot in this one, so yea, I guess he's gotta shoot better than 2/7 if the C's are to win. That's obvious.
4. GIVE BABB SOME PLAYING TIME:
Hey, who knows? Maybe this Chris Babb guy's really good. It's unlikely, but the Celts might as well. I mean, he could end up scoring twenty-plus points, couldn't he?
3. KEEP HITTING THREES:
Saturday night in Cleveland, the Celtics shot an impressive 12/30 (40%) from behind the three-point arch, which obviously helped them win the game. So yea, they just gotta try to do that exact same thing in this one.
2. LET PRESSEY TAKE THREES:
This doesn't sound smart (it isn't) but since it's the second-to-last game of the season I don't see why it won't happen. I mean, Phil Pressey, like Chris Babb, could end up being really good, so why not just give him a chance?
1. GET OFF TO A GOOD START:
In the Cavs game, the Celts didn't play well in the fourth quarter, but still, they won by 12. Why? Because they took a huge lead in the first 36 minutes that made late execution unnecessary.
Anyway, this one'll tip-off tonight at 7:00 pm ET. You can see it on CSN New England and CSN Philadelphia. Enjoy it.
