The Indiana Pacers play the Boston Celtics tonight, although you'd never know it after listening to local radio and reading the papers this week.
See, there's this little football game in town on Sunday night and that is all anyone wants to discuss around here. Too bad since this is the only time the C's are in Indy this year. Of course, with Troy Murphy out and T.J. Ford doubtful the short-handed Pacers will need a monumental effort from their available players to keep up with the loaded Celtics, so maybe it's better if the casual local fans don't focus too closely on this one. Plus, the C's will be ready to rebound from a tough loss to Atlanta at home last night. Thanks a lot Hawks.
The Pacers will be able to throw a lineup at the Celtics that has thrived recently at both ends of the floor. The small lineup has Danny Granger at the power forward which has allowed Dahntay Jones and Brandon Rush to amp up the perimeter defense. It has worked well in the past three games, but none of those teams post the strong front court depth that the C's will throw at the Pacers tonight. Granger and Roy Hibbert will have their hands full with Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins at the defensive end to put it mildly. Granger will need to find his outside shot in order to help even things out, but as last year's early success against the C's proved, anything can happen.
For a Boston perspective there are plenty of great sites, including Celtics Blog, Red's Army and Celtics Hub to name a few.
Leave your thoughts and observations in the comments.

On the bright side
We could always have more injuries. I guess we should just be glad we have Brandon and Danny going tonight, and hope Hansbrough can maximize his minutes again tonight, and maybe even take a few Celts to the bench with him.
We will need the kind of performance we got from Watson we got on…was it Wednesday? (so long ago!) Or see his defensive abilities against Rondo.
Man, this is going to be a really hard game!! We couldn’t have this game at a worse time…maybe later in the year, when we’re getting healthy (knock on wood) and the Celtics’ hearing goes out from all the kids’ rap music, we might get a more level playing field, but we’ll just have to do work at a huge disadvantage and hope the defense we’ve come to love the past few games does it job.
Probably aren’t going to too many games I’m this anxious about this season, a combination of having about fifteen offdays between games and seeing the team playing well AND getting a test while playing well. Let’s do it!

Celtic fan here.
Just here to wish you guys a good game.
If we play anything like we did in the last 4/5 games (excluding the Jazz blowout), you really stand a chance of winning against us, so don’t be too worried.
Other than that, I believe you guys have given us a run for our money before so hey, good luck, and have fun watching the game chaps!

I hope the game mirrors last year’s game (minus Danny Granger losing his teeth), but we’re so banged up right now that I’m not sure what to expect tonight.

Nice block from D Jones (I think?)

So far I’m really liking D Jones and Watson. Both really active and seem to be around the ball a lot.

I mentioned a bad drinking game in the last game thread
Being taking a shot every time Tyler Hansbrough gets to the line.
A GOOD drinking game would be:
Taking a shot every time Tyler Hansbrough passes the ball.
If I have a peeve with him right now, it’s that he’s kind of a black hole with the ball.

I had great plans last year
To go to this game and then the Colts game on Sunday, but I was in the middle of Kentucky on a business trip on Saturday, and the friend who had the Colts tickets had to work on Sunday, so I got to listen to the Pacers and watch the Colts on TV. Not all it could’ve been, for sure.

I knew he would be signed eventually, but I wonder how well he’ll do in Memphis. Has he matured? Will he sulk? Memphis isn’t very good and will lose a lot. How’s the organization? Is it stable? Will he get hurt 10 games into his season?
Will he come down with a sinus infection in February?? I have questions.

Right. Here's for another shot at a comment.
You guys seem to be playing quite well. What’s making the difference? Why’s Boston up?
As for me, I’m just glad Boston actually showed up. We’ve been pulling no-shows of sorts, on and off the past few games. It’s actually rather frustrating.
I think, like the Hawks, you guys should try to out-rebound us. Seemed to work well for them.
Oh well, good luck in the second half, peeps. It’s just nine points now, which is rather close. This isn’t over yet.

Wow
Blinders on the Pacer voters. 34% say Ray will break it, 66% say no. He’s too close to break it. At least got two or so years left.

D. Jones has been surprising me by actually scoring points
I wonder if he’ll keep it up.
by Gwen on Nov 14, 2009 9:00 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
As long as we need him to
I imagine he will. If we don’t, I don’t think he will. I’m liking that about his game.

beautiful block
horrible foul call there. nice work by solo

C's announcers watch the replay and say "well, occassionally you get some breaks your way"
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."

Quinn
Saying it was a foul, at least a foul they had to make. Looked questionable, but a call they’d make most times.

Did we just get an offensive rebound to get the Solo 2??
by Gwen on Nov 14, 2009 9:04 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Bad first possession, clock winding down
Danny throws up a prayer, bounces out to D.Jones, ends up with a Solo jumper.

Nice Solo
took advantage of the off rebound

Sweet, another T on the Celtics
On Perkins.
by goodlucksaturday on Nov 14, 2009 9:05 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
The C's broadcast claims he didn't say anything bad
just said “I went straight up” and they gave him the T
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."

Do they have super hearing or can read lips?
by Gwen on Nov 14, 2009 9:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
their sideline guy was about 10 ft from Perk when it happened
What they don’t know is what might have been going on the 90 minutes leading up to the tech. I imagine T’s are usually given when someone’s been talking too much all game
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."

Not really sure...
Doc just got T’d up just now after Garnett had an offensive foul.
by goodlucksaturday on Nov 14, 2009 9:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
At least the fouls on both teams are relatively equal
17 to 19 Celtics

pacer tickets
Man I wish I still lived in Indy, sounds like Pacer tickets are not that much,by nba standards, and this team is starting to be pretty entertaining, hopefully they can keep it up against the better teams!
by ben915via317 on Nov 14, 2009 9:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Pacer tickets are cheap and very available.
I hope to get to a few games this year.

Dahntay Jones has been a pleasant surprise on the offensive end.

doc rivers
ever hear the caller who phoned the jim rome show and said, “We dont need to drill for oil, just wipe it off Doc’s Dome” , man, Im a fan of Doc Rivers, but thats funny … I had hoped the Pacers would of hired Avery Johnson, but thats cool
by ben915via317 on Nov 14, 2009 9:12 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah I've been hoping we go for the little general myself
A) because I like his coaching
B) because I like his accent
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."

correction
I didn’t mean I like it as a cool accent or anything, moreso I find it amusing
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."

Are players allowed to stand at certain points?
I thought the new rule said they couldn’t stand at all, but a few times I’ve seen players standing on both benches. Either I missed part of that rule or players just don’t mind breaking it.
by smj887 on Nov 14, 2009 9:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
That is the new rule
I’m not sure how enforced it is though.

I kind of like Quinn's analysis
That you can run the legs out form the Celtics. We were definitely outhustling them here later in the game.
by goodlucksaturday on Nov 14, 2009 9:30 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Well, barring an catastrophic collapse
I think this game has shown this team is definitely better than the 0-3 start. Even if Boston is on the second night of a back to back.
