Celtics Going for 5th Straight Win with Pacers in Town

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 4 teams that they have beaten have a combined W/L record of 3 wins and 22 losses. The Pacers will be the Celtics first opponent with a winning record since their loss to the Heat in the second game of the season. 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 hungry for a win and to prove that they can beat a team with a winning record. Both teams very much need a win over a quality team.
Ray missed practice on Thursday and Doc has listed him as questionable for this game but since also said that Ray was feeling much better and the game notes list him in the starting lineup, I'm assuming he'll play. If he doesn't play, expect Dooling to get the start once again.
The Celtics can't afford to come out sluggish as they have in several games so far. If they dig a hole against the Pacers, it won't be as easy to come back as it was against the Pistons or the Wizards. Hopefully we will see an energized Celtics team that will defend their home court and finally boast a win over a team with a record over .500.

Comments From the Other Side - Wizards 1/2
by FLCeltsFan 1:00 PM
During the last game, there were a lot of good comments about Rondo. This game, they are loving on Ray. However, KG gets the same hate in both threads. There's also a lot of complaints about the refs in both threads. Some things never change. I love how fans always ask who left Ray Allen open. No one leaves Ray Allen open. They just get tired from chasing him and slow down long enough for Ray to get his shot off. I loved the comment about Ray "And we dare call him old " Enjoy Comments from the Wizards fans part deux....
Here's hoping Chris continues getting under Paul's skin.
We desperately need to win this game. The Celtics are so much older than us that we should definitely have an advantage since it's a back to back.
And Please Blatche just leave KG alone don't fall for his head games its getting quite old at this point.
Now we might actually win with Flip gone!!
My God that was a blatant non-call. Shard got absolutely clobbered
NBA refs hate us
Come on Allen shouldn't have more energy than our young backcourt.

Comments From the Other Side - Wizards 1/1
by FLCeltsFan 9:33 AM
These are much more fun when we win. Another team looking forward to the lottery but still hoping for a win over the Celtics. Lots of love for Rondo here along with a lot of complaints about the refs and some hate for KG and Blatche. My favorite comments were that Blatche has been tired his whole career and KG would be pumped for jury duty. Good stuff. I hope you enjoy it. And stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow....
We should just recycle game threads from last year since the games will probably end the same.
They'll be slightly different since we don't have Yi to yell at anymore.
I call this game 4 in the fire Flip and Ernie tour.
Weird, I have this irrational feeling that we are going to win, totally nuts.

Celtics On the Road Again to Face Winless Wizards

Boston Celtics (1-3) at Wizards (0-3)
Sunday, January 1
6:00 PM ET
Regular Season Game #5, Road Game #4
TV: CSN-NE, Comcast Sportsnet, NBA-TV, NBAC
Radio: WEEI, WJFK
Verizon Center Referees: Bill Spooner, Eric Dalen, James Williams
The Celtics are back on the road after winning their home opener and hopefully they can keep their winning ways going against the Wizards who are still looking for their first win.
This is the first of 4 meetings in this shortened season between these two teams. This is the first of a home and home set and the Wizards will play the Celtics in Boston on Monday night. Last season these two teams split the series 2-2.
The Celtics haven't been the best defensive team this season so far, but like Pistons, the Wizards may be just what they need to get their defense on track. The Wizards have shot just 38.6% from the field in their 3 losses this season. They have also been allowing 97.7% shooting from their opponents.
