IC Cold Links: Larry Bird Smiles, Pacers Prep For Celtics

The Indiana Pacers were in Boston on Thursday getting ready to take on the Boston Celtics tonight at TD Garden. Meanwhile, the Celtics were down in Orlando putting together one of their best wins of the season, erasing a 27-point deficit to win 91-83.

Paul Pierce and E'Twauan Moore led the comeback effort as the Magic self-destructed once the C's applied a little pressure. Yeah, you read that right. It wasn't Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo or Kevin Garnett teaming up with Pierce, but former Purdue and East Chicago Central star, E'Twaun Moore making it happen in his rookie season.

The Celtics have won three games in a row despite playing without Allen, Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal last night. So maybe those first two wins by the Pacers weren't so bad after all.

I'm sure Larry Bird enjoyed those win as he has the start of the season for the Pacers. Mike Wells check in with the Pacers' prez to find him finally enjoying his time at the Fieldhouse after reshaping the roster to the Pacers up for a strong future.

Check out the links after the jump.

Excerpt from hoopsworld.

“The Pacers are fifth in the NBA holding opposing teams to only 90.5 points per game, down from just under 101 points last season. The Pacers are also holding opponents to a league best 41.2% from the field, all while still working Hill and West into their system.

"I’m trying to get use to some things. I’m still trying to figure out how I can be affective in this system as well as working on holes in my game that will make me better," Hill told HOOPSWORLD. "The only thing I can control is what coach wants me to do when I’m out there. I just go out and play my hardest.

"We’re still learning how to play together and we’re still not where we want to be, but it’s not a sprint. We know it’s going to take time and we know that we have to continue to get better. If we continue to learn how to play together and defend the right way I think we can make an impact in the Eastern Conference."

It’s a scary thought for the rest of the Eastern Conference that the Pacers still have room to grow. They already have wins over some of the top teams in the NBA, including the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics."

Financially not sure how?

But heres hoping Larry makes a strong push for JThompson (SAC), possibly Honeycutt (SAC) further down the line.
