- Pacers, perfect team to play on the road, with Halliburton and the club struggling. And no Defense; Celtics
should cruise better than the Playoffs.

- But Siakam and Turner could have big games against Boston's struggling Bigs.

- Like to see a trading deadline deal with Tillman and Two 2s for a better Big. He's been a disappointment.

- Time for PP to continue his streak: Another 20+ game would be nice.

- Hopefully MIA Hauser shows up, as Celtics lack bench scoring beyond PP.

- Time to unleash Rico Dorchester...

This is game 1 of the Don't Let Your Guard Down roadtrip. Last year the Celtics lost twice to the Pacers, twice in a row to the Hawks, and once to the Hornets.

First time in years (pre-covid some time around 2014 or so if I had to guess) I won't be going to a Pacer/Celtics game in person. Stink the schedule only has them in Indy once, but got to see the JB foul to the head game and the clincher in the ECF both really close to the action so I can't complain too much.

Indianapolis. Bisme can make auto racing references again.

Or for double wordplay there's:



Actually, Indy's more like 1000 miles from Boston, but never mind that detail ...

Our two-way "sons" are assigned to the G-League including the son of Peter.

Furphy and Turner are QUESTIONABLE, Wiseman OUT for the Pacers.

I actually laughed out loud over this

Destroy them for pretending to be on our level last season.

Good to get Hauser back for this one. I’m sure the pacers have this one circled on their calendars

I hope Nesmith doesn’t injure anyone. He attacks like a rabid dog every time.

feeling a tatum - Brown 70+ combined piece tonight in a BIG blowout win for the boys in green.

Celtics just need to take care of the Pacers and then they can swat the Hornets twice...

Pacers are a fun team. Hope they can be runner ups to Celtics again this year.

Interested to see how the Celts look tonight. Indy isn't off to a great start, so they'll be ready to go tonight in their own barn.

I expect a big Tatum game. Would also like to see Pritchard keep it.

honest question: is Nesmith going to get over the Celtics trading him? Will it ever become just another game on the schedule for him? Or will it always be I DEMAND SATISFACTION!!!!

(counter proposal: he just always plays like that -- we know there's some truth to that, but I think he's still clearly been dialing it up extra against Boston)

Queta time!

No Khris Middleton and no Lonnie Walker either. So I don't know how we can consider this a legit NBA game.

The real question is are we going to look back in 20 years when we’ve won 5 championships & have to put an asterisk on all of them because Khris Middleton was out ?

Without Turner the Pacers will go smaller than. Ever.. I expect a very high scoring game with defensing takes the night off.

The Pacers could use a real center in this game. Where's Roy Hibbert when you need him?
