Indiana Pacers (4-2) at Boston Celtics (4-3)
Friday, January 6
7:30 PM ET
Regular Season Game #8, Home Game #4
TV: CSNNE, FSI, NBA-LP 757/758
Radio: WEEI, WIBC
TD Garden
Referees: Eddie F. Rush, Bennie Adams, Tre Maddox
The Celtics put their 4 game win streak on the line as they host the Indiana Pacers tonight. The Celtics win streak may have more to do with their opponents than their improved play.

The Pacers' competition hasn't been much stiffer though as the teams they beat weren't exactly powerhouses. Their wins have come against Detroit, Toronto, Cleveland and New Jersey.
Things may have gotten a bit harder for the Celtics when the Heat demolished the Pacers 118-83 on Wednesday. The Pacers should be h...

Flannery also wrote in his piece on WEEI.com that Ray Allen was asked not to go to the team facility today to make sure that he didn't spread his illness around to his other teammates, but that he's feeling better. The Celtics could use Allen on Friday as the Pacers come to town. Indiana's better than Detroit, Washington and New Jersey, the three teams that...

Can’t shoot; temperamental; thin-skinned; egotistical. These aren’t the most endearing descriptors, particularly when they’re attached to your starting point guard who, incidentally, also doubles as your best young player and the future of the team. Indeed, to even contemplate handing the reins of the most successful franchise in league history to a character as flawed as those...

Jim RacaltoSo far in this very young NBA season, it seems that Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo is maturing and coming into his own before our very eyes, most notably the drastic improvement in his jump shot. You know, the same jump shot that President Obama and Celtics President Danny Ainge poked fun at last year. [...]Sports-Kings - The Kings of Sports Lists

Mr. Triple Double uncovered a fabulous video from 1991. Tommy Heinsohn and Bob Cousy are handling the play-by-play and color analysis for the Celtics and Pistons. Detroit, especially Dennis Rodman, is killing the Celtics on the boards.
Here are some classic lines:
Tommy: You gotta put an elbow in his face, Couz.
Tommy: I hope we have a replay of that rebound. Bird had two elbows...

Jermaine O'Neal had a big night early, blocking everything that came into the paint, taking multiple offensive fouls, and crashing the boards. It was all every Pacer fan could do but not long...
