Tatum blows past Lance on the baseline but gets fouled ... makes 1-2 ... 120-114
Al a dunk from Brown ...
Brown a J from Tatum ...
Tatum a dunk from Al ...
White a driving layup ... 128-123 C's
Pacers miss a 3 and Al corrales the rebound and the clock runs out ... CELTICS WIN!!!!!!!!!!

This was a bad win. This cannot be all due to the loss of RWill.

Every time we got into double figures and it looked like we would pull away the Pacers hit a huge three to get back into it ... all night long and a different player each time. Resilient were the Pacers tonight!

Petey ... The Pacers made 5 more threes than us ... they shot much better than us from three. Give them credit. Rob wouldn't have made much difference on those shots ... he would have gotten easy putbacks as usual which helps alot and challenged some layups but the Pacer shooters came up big every time we were about to put the pedal to the metal.
Stats posted next ...

This was a bad win. We have been dominant over the past few months but lately we look average. This cannot be all due to the loss of RWill.
IND shooting 47% from 3-point range ain’t got nothing to do with RWill not in the lineup.
I still don’t understand what Nesmith has done to not be in the rotation. He should undoubtedly be getting some of White’s minutes.

I don't disagree with you on Nesmith. My thinking is they are more concerned with getting White acclimated and shooting the three with confidence. He'll be more of a factor than Nesmith though they need to get him more minutes as well and I read that they plan on resting starters on the next road trip as long as we're sitting where they'd like to be for seeding purposes. Let's see what happens then ...
PS: Oh yeah ... any win is a good win! We couldn't keep beating opponents by 20pts forever. The Heat brought us back to earth and this game became a challenge only because they shot the 3 so well.

Al went 7-8 (2-2) with 17pts and 10 rebounds! White while only 2-4 (1-2) he did have 8-8 on FTs an indication of how many time he drove the lane for layups. All starters except Theis/Williams had 5 or more assists ... not bad!
Aside from JB with 5 TOVs, everyone had less than 3 other than Smart (3).

If we defend them on the perimeter better, they won’t shoot the 3 so well. I’m not sold on White. His play seems to be leveling off after what appeared to be a solid start with us. And Admin, what’s the use in playing Nesmith while resting some starters when, after he plays well (see TOR game), he hasn’t seen the court since? Nothing that the Celtics are doing says Nesmith should not be in the rotation. We’re playing only 8 players.

Udoka must have gotten Brad's approval on the 8 man rotation ... sure we're young but he needs to protect those 8 soon or he'll have more Robs going into the playoffs. Brown was hit and disorientated at one point and Grant had a nasty fall and near ankle sprain tonight. Shit happens and Nesmith, Stauskas & Hauser better get time to get acclimated just as White has gotten if they expect those guys to perform when called upon.

. White made 4 FTs cause IND was in the penalty. I don’t think he got fouled driving to the rim once. He made FTs merely because of horrible officiating in our favor. As for the assist numbers, what good are Brown’s 7 assists when he commits 5 turnovers? Smart has 5 dimes but 3 turnovers. In the 3rd quarter, we had a possession like this: PP comes down and passes to Theis who then passes to Smart. Smart passes right back to Theis for a jumper in the paint that misses short. THAT WAS THE POSSESSION! Nah bro, that ain’t gonna cut it.

No, losing RWill brought us back to earth...

Yesterday was April 1st. We can hope the optimistic reports on RWill are true. I've had that surgery as I said before you feel great the next day, but you can't over do it. Knowing when you're really healthy is very tricky.

Knowing when you're really healthy is very tricky. If I was RWill I would think long and hard about how IT got treated after playing his arse off through an injury...massive financial loss...
