What a WIN!

Just woke up not too long ago...ran to NBATV, looked at the scores scroll across the bottom of the screen!

NICE!

So we just beat the 2nd seeded team in the East...an Indy team that had been playing VERY well...much younger....on NIGHT TWO of a Back-Back....on the road, no less.

This BOS team can CERTAINLY make some noise this post-season.

BOS is MOVIN' ON UP that playoff seeding in the East ;D

Just saw the game winner...Green saved KG's ass there haha

According to Pierce's post-game interview Green was the first option on that play, with Pierce getting the ball only if West had been able to stay on Jeff.
I was more referring to the pass.  KG airmailed that pass, but Jeff hauled it in.

Yup. We would've been talking about KG's fluke and inability to do a simple pass had it not been for Green's good hands. The pass was really high and Green had to reach high to get it.
I like Marcus Smart

Anyone have video of the final play from the CSN broadcast?  I watched it live on my league pass but they had the Indy broadcast... would love to hear Mike & Tommy's call.

I thought they were done when the Pacers hit those 3 3 pointers. Great defense and even better execution. Our guards really made it hard on the Pacers in the fourth. Jason Terry was huge with two deflections leading to transition baskets to get them back into the game. Celtics held the Pacers to 36.4% shooting. Everyone on the Celtics that played contributed tonight with the exception of you know who.

Mike Gorman (or someone) remarked during a time out, with few minutes to go in the 4th, that Doc got on Terry for the way he was defending someone. After that, Terry played great both defensively and offensively.

Terry was simply respecting Hill's ability to drive too much, Doc didn't want to play him that way. He didn't care if Hill drove by him, but to not give him any space that would allow him to shoot a 3-pointer.

KG didn't airmail that pass in my opinion, it was were it was intended. I think in part they wanted some sort of alley-oop opportunity, but it came off a bit mistimed, particularly considering that KG did have 7'1 player on him.

That was an easy catch for Green, it was the correct type of pass, but not a perfect pass or really that good of a pass, but it wasn't as egregious as it's being made out to be.

  Indiana doesn't seem any more formidable than they did last year. Very good defense, pedestrian offense. I don't have any idea what their offensive rating is but I think they'd have trouble scoring when things get tight.

Found the Indiana feed, and developed all sorts of new levels of appreciation for Mike Gorman. Truly one of the best play-by-play guys in the NBA.

over Hib with hands high, faked West onto PP with a pump fake pass... good pass!

I think they are, I think more of Paul George than Danny Granger. I also think their rotation is more settled. I don't think they've jumped to contender, but I think they're better.

Hibbert's overall offensive funk has been a huge problem for them though.

I was less then impressed with Hibbert yesterday, even in the first quarter. Constantly caught flat-footed, very little motor, no idea how to score in isolation.

This season, the guy just gets by on being really, really huge.
