After playing 8 games in 12 days, the Celtics have had 3 days off for some much needed rest and practice. They now face the 3-4 Jazz who are coming off a 2 point win over the Knicks. The anticipated matchup between Rajon Rondo and Deron Williams may or may not materialize since Williams is a game time decision after an injury in the Knicks game.
After a very strong start in their first five games, the Celtics faltered in their last 3, losing to the Suns and struggling against the Wolves and the Nets. Their schedule that didn't allow for practice along with fatigue was blamed for the sub-par performances, especially on defense. Now, they have had 3 days to rest and run practices and we should see the dominating Celtics back again. If not, there will be a lot of questions being asked.
