Game Thread: Celtics Hosting Pacers, 8:00PM ET, March 1, 2014

[Brahmsian]

Celtics come into tonight's only NBA game 20-39, 25 games behind their visitors in the conference, 16-17 in the conference, 12-17 at home.

Indiana comes in 44-13, 28-6 in conference, 16-10 on the road.

The Celtics official website informs me that Bradley, Olynyk and Sullinger are all doubtful for tonight's game.

Some websurfing tells me George Hill is out for Indiana tonight and will be replaced by C. J Watson.

That should be good news for Celtics PGs Rondo and Pressey, but I don't know enough about Watson to do more than speculate about it.

GO CELTICS!

Where I got the idea this was tonight's only NBA game I wish I knew.

No excuses, I just messed up. My apologies.

If Indiana loses, which could happen, then they all deserve to be kicked in the balls. No offense Boston.

 

[Brahmsian]

Your Pacers better not count on it being easy. This year's Celtics ALWAYS make the competition earn whatever they get.

A Celtics win against Indiana combined with an Orlando win against the OverHEATed would be a lovely longshot
in my book.

You are right, they better not. I'm sure they know by now that teams like Boston play like they have nothing to lose, and that can be dangerous. I hope Indy wins and the Heat lose.

Nothing against the city of Miami as far as I'm concerned, it's LeBron I root against.

Don't get me started on that subject!

GO CELTICS!

I got nothing against Miami either, but I don't like their team and most of their fans. And Hill is out.

Anyone else out for the Pacers tonight? Anyone you think ought to be?

Not that I can see, no. Besides Bynum.

Love the way the Celtics are keeping Indiana out of the paint!

GO BOSTON!

 

[BobGnarly]

27 points on 50% shooting against the best defensive team in the league, not too shabby.

With no minutes for Wallace yet!

Let's hope that wasn't the Celtics' best period of the game!

 

[BobGnarly]

Brahm, if you haven't heard Wallace is out for the year with a torn meniscus

Missed it or just forgot it.

Back to the game!

 

[Brahmsian]

Let's hope that was the Celtics WORST quarter this game!

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

KEEP HUSTLING, CELTICS!

WIN QUARTER 4!

 

[BOTSLAYER]

LETS GO BOSTON!!!!

 

[BOTSLAYER]

RONDO FROM NEW YORK GLASS COUNT IT

 

[BOTSLAYER]

never mind they are going to change it.

 

[Lone Granger]

That's the game. Good game Brah, it was close.
