Tonight the Celtics play the Pacers at home. It has been a while since we have seen the Celtics at home after that long road trip but here are a few points for the game. The first is that the Pacers are an extremely odd team, they have no one other than Granger that is a star, but they beat good teams. If the Celtics can contain Granger this could be a really long game for Boston. But luckily for the Celtics we have another Employee number 8. Stephon Marbury. With Gabe Pruitt suspended for partying to hard in California, we may see Marbury tonight. I mean, there is no one else. The line-ups for the Pacers is:
PG: TJ Ford
SG: Jarrett Jack
SF: Marquis Daniels
PF: Troy Murphy
C: Roy Hibbert
The Celtics will be starting Big Baby in place of KG/ Scal.
Looking at that line-up I see an instant advantage for Paul Pierce and Ray Allen with Jack/ Daniels on them. Both of them aren't even half the players those two are and if they can play their game, they will be all set.
Like most games Rajon Rondo, T.J. Ford will be the match-up for tonight. I think Rondo will be able to outplay ford and if he can get to the paint, this game will be out of reach for the Pacers.
99-95 Celtics
T.A. Ray Allen
also,
Happy 50 year anniversery Bob Cousy. 50 years ago today Cousy scored 31 points and 28 assists to lead the Celtics to have a record 179 points.
***Granger is out. I'm an idiot.***
