THINGS I’M LOOKING FOR

1. Focus: They just smoked the Knicks and now they're facing the crappy Wizards as monster favorites. Tuesday was an emotional night against the team penciled in as their biggest threat this season. Let’s see what they have for the dregs they're supposed to crush. 

2. More from the bench: Only 19 of Boston’s 132 points came off the bench, mostly because Payton Pritchard was the only guy excluded from the three party. I’d like to see the starter minutes stay at 30 or less again and have the bench do some more of the heavy lifting.

3. New wrinkles: Let’s see what carries over from the first game and what gets left behind. What do the Celtics work on against the Wizards? This could end up being a sort of practice against live competition. Maybe they try a few new things to see how they work.

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.
