Here's Bruno's Scouting Report which looks ahead at the best-case scenario remaining for the Pacers, that tonight's game is a playoff preview. The Pacers have a lot of work to do and need some help for that to happen, but it ain't over 'til it's over.
Check out this Q&A with CelticsBlog I did earlier this week. Also, Steve Weinman has a nice look at Mike Dunleavy's strong season.
Here's what the efficiency numbers say:
| Team | Pace | Off.Eff. | Def.Eff. |
|---|---|---|---|
| IND | 96.0(3rd) | 108.1(16th) | 109.6(17th) |
| BOS | 89.6(19th) | 112.3(9th) | 100.1(1st) |
Projected Starters
| PACERS | pos. | CELTICS |

| Troy Murphy | F | Kevin Garnett |
| Jeff Foster | C | Kendrick Perkins |
| Danny Granger | G | Ray Allen |
| Flip Murray | G | Rajon Rondo |
