Pacers vs. Celtics: 01/06
The Pacers took down the Bucks pretty well this year. Celtics are the top team in the East and it seems like a good test of where we are at.

No Brown or Nembhard? I wonder who gets the starting nod.

Buddy.
I'll be very happy with a split in these two Boston games. I hope it won't be out of hand when I switch to the Colts.

Switching to the Colts.
First half they couldn’t stop Tatum and Brown who were the major contributors for Celtics.
Pacers shooting 40% was the main problem that they couldn’t keep the lead under double digits much.
Celtics defense was very good.

I was super impressed even without Porzingis.

We so obviously have a Jarace Walker size hole in our defense. I try not to get too upset this season. This is a year of shooting practice waiting for our young guys to get up to speed. I'm sure 6 months ago we all expected to see our shiny new PF getting some minutes, as he's the only guy on the roster with the physical possibility of effectively slowing down a good 6'8"+ wing.
Please don't even listen to offers to trade him for expiring's. We've been patient for many years assembling some real talent. Do not blow it now getting froggy to earn a first round beat down.

Amen! Stay the course,... unless a clear-cut, step change in the overall, long-term potential of the team comes available. =]
(edit: that doesn't impact our financial flexibility)

Are we starting a new thread for tonight? Can the title of this thread be edited to include both dates?

I switched to football but saw Ty carried off. Apparently hamstring. Better than knee but . . .

Yes, Tyrese slipped in the lane and did the splits and has a left hamstring strain. Won’t be back tonight.
TJ McConnell playing well picking up the slack.

Big win cleverly timed to be at football halftime.

You never know about a hamstring injury, could be 3-4 days or 3-4 weeks. This is what I was talking about when I said this team can't trade off Nembhard in a Siakam deal. Also losing Haliburton or Turner cripples the team. It's a wonder they won this game. The Celtics are still really good even without Tatum.
