Don't like the 2-big lineup. I realize that the Pacers are starting 2 bigs in Turner and Sabonis, but I'd go small. I mean, Turner is more of a shooter than an inside scorer, plus he's a below average rebounder.

Obviously, that's just me. I guess CBS will start both Thompson and Theis.


We are deepest at PG and Big. We have 3 (4 when Kemba is healthy) rotation worthy PGs and 4 rotation worthy PF/C types. We have 2 wings that are dependable, maybe 3 depending on ur trust of Semi.
Gotta play the players u have.

Let's gooooooo Celts!

Hope Turner doesn't demolish us.

He won't.

As tradition, it'll be some 4th string PG we've never heard of that comes in and drops 15 points in just 5 minutes  :P
Well even with the TT addition Jordan and Allen feasted on them. Seems any physical bigs that can rim run and rebound make the team look bad. Turner and Sabonis can roll and rebound at a high level when motivated. Both capable of 20/10

A physical big who can rebound? Doesn't describe Turner at all

The refs really hamstrung Thompson. Thompson never got that kind of whistle when he played with the King. It’s going to take some getting used to.

Oladipo is out tonight

Aaron Holiday will start with Brogdon, Warren, Sabonis and Turner. No changes (Smart, Brown, Tatum, Thompson, Theis) for the Celtics.

I expect brown to have an off game as he’s notoriously inconsistent.  Then harden talks can ramp back up.  Expecting more of the same.  Look good for 3q.  Then implode.

Yeah I was glad to see that as well. Lets hope for no hangover game from the beatdown from the Nets.

Who are Indiana’s wing defenders?

I am watching the Pacers feed they claim Kember had knee surgery.
