Celtics-Sixers: 5 Keys to the Series

The Celtics [team stats] and 76ers haven’t graced the NBA
postseason screen together since 2002, but surely you’ve seen
this movie before.
And when you consider that remakes create rivalries, these two
franchises have been warring in the playoffs since 1953 when
the Celtics’ adversary was located in Syracuse. Seven times
the Celtics met the Nats before they moved to Philadelphia and
became the 76ers in 1963. Eleven times the Celts have suited
up in spring against the Sixers.
So as we head into the 19th version of a rivalry that Celtics
from the ’60s and even the ’80s will tell you was bigger
than that with the Lakers, we toast the latest production in
film fashion. The keys to the series, therefore, are derived
from the movies.
1. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE
Averaging 40:09 minutes a game in the Chicago series, Andre
Iguodala is the 76ers’ mainstay. The Celtics will have to
find a way to keep him from getting into a groove, which will
mean another tough defensive assignment for Paul Pierce
[stats] and Mickael Pietrus and maybe even some Marquis
Daniels or Sasha Pavlovic. The important thing will be keeping
check on Iguodala in transition. If he gets a step, he gets
the bucket.
2. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
Or is it? The Celtics’ 30-somethings proved in the Atlanta
series they still have it, though Ray Allen and Paul Pierce
had their injury-aided troubles. But Kevin Garnett needs to
come up large again as he goes against the
better-than-you-think Spencer Hawes, who will look for his
offense more than Al Horford did. Overall, sure, more youthful
Celtics like Rajon Rondo [stats] and Brandon Bass have to play
well in this series, but if the veteran stars don’t deliver,
their last hurrah will be curtailed.
3. POINT BREAK
The point guard matchup will be very interesting here. Jrue
Holiday is playing much better of late, scoring nearly six
points above his regular-season average in the first round
against Chicago. Of course, he didn’t have to deal with
Derrick Rose after Game 1, which may have a little something
to do with that. Now he has to go against Rajon Rondo, who has
been otherworldly for the most part. If Rondo can blanket
Holiday, who leads his team in shots taken, the 76ers may be
left scrambling.
4. THE HURT LOCKER
When you look at the major questions surrounding the Celtics
as they head into this series, you really don’t think much
about the individual players. You ask about their appendages.
Given reasonable health, you pretty much know what you’re
going to get from Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and even, to an
extent, Mickael Pietrus. But if Pierce’s knee and Allen’s
ankle and Pietrus’ knee are problems as the series grinds on,
the Celts will be in particular peril against a team that
loves to get out and run you until your tongue drags on the
floor. “We’ve got a bunch of gazelles coming in here,” said
Doc Rivers. The 76ers are one of the best teams in the league
at converting your mistakes into points, leading Rivers to
say, “I can tell you the key to the series right now is we can
’t turn the ball over.”
5. THE SIXTH SENSE
He may shoot the Sixers to victory or he may shoot into
trouble, but it is for certain that Lou Williams will come off
the bench shooting. And it would behoove the Celtics to make
sure this dynamic talent never really gets too comfortable. It
will be interesting to see how the Celts’ rotation shakes out
and how much time Avery Bradley gets on Williams. It also
would help if the Celtics’ subs can produce some cohesive
offense of their own (Ray Allen could be a key here) to keep
Williams out of transition.
