    The Celtics started the season very well, played great until their London trip, and were great defensively to that point. Between the London game and the all star break, they fell apart somewhat. (Among other things, they seem to have missed Marcus Smart.)

    In the few games since the all star break, they've regained their sharp play, but recently it's their offense that's been leading them.

    They'll be without Hayward of course and almost surely without rookie Daniel Theis who is sidelined with a hamstring and actually has become pretty important.

    He's out? He was my Boston X factor given his atheleticism, sure hope we can take advantage of that.

    He's not definitely out, but probably. Theis didn't play the last game, and though it's minor, hamstrings usually are handled with some caution.

    Scott Souza from yesterday: "Celtics coach said Daniel Theis going for additional tests on hamstring. Expectation is he will travel to Houston. Unsure about his status Saturday, but said Theis would only travel if there is expectation he will play at some point on trip."

    With how the last game ended against Boston, hopefully they come out with the same level of focus as they did against the Clippers.

    Rockets were beating down the Celtics early and middle.

    This game shouldn't be close. Rockets are clearly better, at home, focused, and avenging a wack loss.

    Astros started it vs Red Sox and Rockets will finish it if Celtics make the Finals.

    This game should be a beat down.

    Smart just avoid it. Probably lesson learned from the McHale comments which were not necessarily needed
