Celtics Should Crush the Pacers

They do not have a Center unless you believe GOGA BITADZE is a good replacement for Miles Turner. Sabonis is in Sacramento. They are starting Buddy and Haliburton, Jackson (who?), Brissett and Brogdon.

Let's go out and get this win. No good reason to lose this one.

Unless they outrun us. The way to stop that is to go inside. Blown shots in the restricted area, while annoying as Hell, don't result in long rebounds like 3pt misses that allow teams relying upon speed to get out in front of our defense.

Time for The Time Lord, Al and Theis to earn their pay. Make the Pygmy Pacers defend inside.

Good point. The Pacers are #13 in FB points. Al played a ton of minutes last night so maybe we see more Rob and Daniel Theis in the mix. The Pacers cannot run if they do not have the ball. We need to play a clean game with few turnovers and we need to blast them on the glass.

In the past, that headline would strike fear into every Celtic fan because we knew there was a real good chance we would cough it up and blow it. Not so much now but the fear isn't completely gone.

This needs to be back in the blowout fashion like BKN and PHI. Starters sitting out the 4th period, etc.

DET has made it quite clear how to beat us. Get us back to the ISO game and bricking 3's. While it is getting less and less likely an option as the Celtics keep buying stock in Ime's Game Plan, the wheels can still come off and in a hurry as we still see bits and pieces of the old Celtic snake skin painstakingly trying to be removed from the body.

They will have the energy as they didn't go all out in yesterday's nooner.

This should be a win. BOS (-9.5). Again, that's a route. Go for it!!
