Celtics visiting Indy

Indy is special because it's the birthplace of the great Larry Joe Bird! With that said time for the Celtics to go and grab another win! Isn't it nice to hear Mike Gorman's voice!

1st Quarter
JB starting things off right, he has the great ability to start games off HOT! His jumper is so silky smooth. He's very stealth at getting to the rack! You have to love the fact that he and JT can be interchangeable at leading this team.

Not loving the D to start, Indy is hitting everything they are throwing up. Today is going to be track meet. Celtics need to hunker down on D, if they don't we are going to be in for another dogfight. Yesterday was a slugfest up until the end. Today has that feel already. I hope I'm wrong.
2nd Quarter
PP is going to continue to make this team better. Payton offers this team a solid point guard, who can also knock down shots like an assassin. He's becoming a huge piece to the second unit. What's great about him is his fearlessness.
DWhite is not only a huge piece to the second unit, but he could be on that closing unit in the fourth. He has all the skills necessary, defense, passing and the ability to score. Kids got winner written all over him. He's Marcus the Wolverine Smart 2.0!
3rd Quarter
Pacer have shot the ball out of their minds so far. Will the Celtics D tighten up and get back into the game? I really hope so, this Pacers team plays hard but in all reality I expect tough Celtics D to get us back in the game. Need to see JB and JT take over this quarter to get things going.
Celtics are self destructing right at the start of the third. Seems like a very unbalanced team out there right now. We better see some effort out there. Don't get pantsed by the Pacers, these are the games that measure the heart of a team. I hope we see it.
4th Quarter
Time for a nice run, the game is within reach tonight. Down by only nine after a crap first half and rough start to the third. Defense needs to be the key, with some timely offense. The run needs to go down now!
Buddy Hield always plays off his behind vs the Celtics. Did the Celtics offend him at some point. Not looking very good right now. Still plenty of time but today's feel just isn't there. This feels like earlier in the year, a game they coulda, shoulda won, but may ultimately lose. Guys hitting threes I've never heard of now. Joke of a game tonight!

Nik Stauskas adds "shooting with size" voiced by Brad Stevens

As a 6'6" shooting guard, 28-year-old Nik Stauskas adds that shooting with size sorely needed by the Boston Celtics. Drafted 8th-overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2014, Stauskas has bounced around to various teams since then. Nik Stauskas' deal with the Boston Celtics includes non-guaranteed salary for the second season in 2022-23, a source tells @celticsblog . — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) March 4, 2022 Nik has never averaged more than 9.5 points per game in the NBA, but Boston is most likely counting on his production for Grand Rapids in the G League as the incentive to sign him. In 17 games thus far, he has averaged 24.7 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 4.8 APG - while shooting 50% on field goals and 45% on treys. Nik Stauskas is signing a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics, his agents Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Stauskas had an historic week, scoring 100 points on 57 and 43 point performances in back-to-back games for Grand Rapids. — Adrian Wo
