Celtics v. Pacers 12/7/2008 Game Thread

I know we don't usually go past a few pages on gamethreads anymore, but I think there is still reason to creat one.

The Pacers, we saw them a few days ago.. you know the drill. 'young Pierce' in Danny Granger. And one of only 2 teams to beat BOS so far this year.

We'll be looking to extend our win streak to 12 games.

Notes to consider:

- Lets see if the bench can respond to that lead they lost against POR. They got bitched at by KG and Baby cried in the corner as a result.

- How is Tony Allen doing? It was suppose to be an ankle sprain but has it affected him mentally? And his knee did jam the other guys knee so I wonder if he'll have some hesetation in his game... which means turnovers, missed shots, and offensive as well as defensive fouls.

You should just change the name of this to the official game thread.

1 of only 2 losses have come to the pacers, so I don't expect the celtics to treat this like a walk-through, it will be a tough game. Let's keep the streak going!

OK... Indy is 5-4 at home... and two of the wins were against Boston and L.A.. So let's get the job done today...

Anyone know if TA is playing today? Hopefully BBD rips somebody a new one...

Pacers fan here. Hope to have a good game, unlike the one I went to at TD Banknorth at the end of last season where I got heckled by Sam Wahlberg and we shot like 32% from the field.

A little up and down in that quarter, but good job overall.

I can't stand Perk, he sucks, he just turned the ball over then commits the foul... why pass to Ray like that???

Horrible foul call on Ray.

Wow, what a shot by Daniels. Kid is playing really well tonight. We're going to have to concentrate on him some more.

BillessuR6 · Post #14 » by **BillessuR6** » Mon Dec 8, 2008 12:13 am

We are walking the ball up the court again that is why we are losing. And it wouldn`t hurt to play a little defense. Daniels is having a party in our paint area...

Sluggish 1st half......if they want #12 in a row they better pick it up 8-)

Can anyone tell me why Tommy is doing the game? I thought he didn't do road games no more.

sunshine, who's that player in your profile pic?

It's frustrating watching Marquis Daniels play as if he's Kobe against us. Just dribbles into the paint and hits that stupid floater over and over again.

BillessuR6 · Post #19 » by **BillessuR6** » Mon Dec 8, 2008 12:36 am

Wake up! We need to stop shooting jumpers and start attacking the rim! Give the ball to Pierce and let him drive to the basket!

All good things must come to an end... besides, they dont deserve to win this anyway.... go on...sleepwalk... and dont go to the basket

Well, as always, I am willing to be proven wrong.
