    Projected Starters
    C
    Darko Milicic / Kendrick Perkins
    PF Pau Gasol / Kevin Garnett
    SF Rudy Gay / Paul Pierce
    SG Mike Miller / Ray Allen
    PG Mike Conley / Rajon Rondo


    Key Matchup: Pau Gasol vs. Kevin Garnett

    Both are extremely talented finesse big men, who can do some damage inside as well as outside. Gasol usually has problems offensively against the more athletic defenders, however, so it’ll be interesting to see how he responds to Garnett’s elite defensive prowess.


    Celtics X-Factor: James Posey

    Memphis has a ton of outstanding shooters and talented perimeter players. Posey’s defense is going to be a huge factor to Boston’s success tonight.


    Injury Report
    MEM
    – Damon Stoudamire (seeking trade/buyout)


    Celtics Keys to the Game
    • Perimeter Defensive Rotations
    • Close Out On Shooters
    • Beam ‘Em Up Inside
    • Control the Tempo

    * Didn't feel like writing anything today, heh.

    Ray Allen has 0 points.. [​IMG]

    Tony has 20 though. His best game of the year mayb.

    Celtics are up by 10..I'd take all the starters out soon. The bench is doing a very good job.
