THINGS I’M LOOKING FOR

1. Rebounding: The Magic are second in second chance points and ninth in the NBA in offensive rebounding percentage. Their starting front line is 6-foot-10 across the board … and a beefy 6-10 at that. Orlando’s offense is terrible, but they are big and strong and they have the potential to crush Boston on the boards. The Celtics have to find a way to box these guys out and mitigate the damage.

2. Shooting: I understand how these three things are already repetitive, but the Celtics have to start hitting some shots a little more regularly so they can set their defense. A big part of boxing out and grabbing rebounds against the Magic is hitting shots, getting back, matching up, and then identifying rebounding threats that need to be boxed out. If they're constantly missing shots, they’ll get demolished on second chance points and Jaylen Brown can go catch the parade at Magic Kingdom before the final buzzer sounds. 

3. Bench wild card: Who will it be today? I’m going to guess Baylor Scheierman because of his strength. I don’t think it will be Walsh again. Hugo Gonzalez is always a possibility, but there's no way he can take Paolo Banchero.  

Follow along with my thoughts as the game goes on. They’ll show up below and in the comments section, so hop in and share your opinion as well.
