Pacers vs.Celtics 12/4

[boomershadow]

The Pacers were the first team in NBA history to win an In-Season Tournament game. They were the first team ever to advance to the Knockout Rounds. Now, they're hoping to be the first team to win a Knockout Round game and advance to Las Vegas for the IST Semifinals.

Indiana (10-8) gets to host a Quarterfinal game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday thanks to a 4-0 record in Group Play. But the Blue & Gold don't have an easy draw, as they have to beat the Boston Celtics — owners of the NBA's best record at 15-4 — to move on to Vegas.

The Celtics beat the Pacers handily in the two teams' only previous meeting this season, rolling to a 155-104 victory on Nov. 1 in Boston in a game that Pacers All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton missed due to injury.

I wasnt a fan of this gimmick tournament, but not gonna lie, getting to play on tnt is cool. We dont normally get to play on national tv much, essp not home games. Also, would be cool for this team to be able to make it to vegas.

Wonder what the crowd will be like tomorrow night?

Spotlight all to yourselves. This is a great opportunity to make a real statement and cement your team as an up and coming, elite squad.

Good Luck!!!

this should be the last time we see the blue floor.

Hope Haliburton is feeling better. Should be a game that the Pacers come into with a bit of a chip on their shoulder, seeking revenge for their worst loss of the season. Nationally televised game, opportunity to put themselves into the conversation as a serious team.

LETS GO PACERS!!!!

Is Tyrese playing?

[basketballwacko2]

OMG that floor! I'm gonna have a stroke or maybe a migraine

[Pacers Forever]

Good start by the starting 5, but going downhill fast since our subs came in. Boston subs doing well.

[Pacers Forever]

75-54 last Celtics game at halftime with Porzingis. Pacers playing better defense, but have to get Tatum off the boards. 10 in first half. Pacers not shooting good enough as a whole. 3 point percentage is good. Too many rushed contested shots.

I'm watching on Bally. Are we getting any respect on NBA TV?

[basketballwacko2]

Some where I hear Slick Leonard yelling Boom Baby!

[basketballwacko2]

Nesmith with the exclamation point! Dunk!

[boomershadow]

Not sure I was on Bally also.

What a nice win, defense was actually pretty good

[boomershadow]

Nesmith really showed out against his former team too.

OK,... as painful as it is,.. if the Pacers keep getting wins like that, I'll live with the floor. (yeah, know we aren't using it again.) LOL =]
