The 2-2 Boston Celtics are in town tonight to play the league’s highest paid winless team in the NBA. Vegas has Boston as a one point road favorite. Interesting, very interesting.
Celtics to date look like they’re not all that motivated themselves. We’ll see.
If I’m Brad Stevens my scouting report to my Celtics team on the Thunder is simple:
“They’re not good defensively. If we take the paint away from them and take away the elbow jumper by Westbrook they really struggle shooting wide open threes. The one thing OKC is good at is hitting the offensive boards. So, guys, just keep them off our defensive boards and don’t let them get out in transition for layups. Where’s Marcus? Marcus, the second you’re on the floor start fucking with Westbrook’s head. Other than Pat Beverly you do this better than anyone in the league. Let’s get a win and get our season back on track, men.”
I have no idea what Billy Donovan says to his ballclub. No idea. It must not be about basketball.
Some game day music would be good.
