They are up by 2 against the Celtics at the half and are looking very strong. I don't know if they'll win, but it's not a fluke that they've been able to beat the Lakers and Celtics twice this season.

They have had the hardest schedule of any team so far this season. In the past 6 days they played, the Lakers, @ Boston, @ Cleveland, and now Boston again.

Still a close game so I would think Boston is right were then want to be but it looks like The Pacers are one of those wierd teams that for whatever reason matchup well with the Celtics.

See Suns-Hornets
Celtics-Wizards
Mavs-GSW

And Daniels shooting 80% is probably something they did not expect. Why the Mavs traded him IDK?

Pacers fans gets their money worth-- last 4 home games-- 3 into OT and a buzzer beater against the Lakers!!

I watched a lot of close Pacers games and noticed that Granger never takes the responsibility in the dying seconds. It's always TJ, Daniels, Murphy, Jack or even Rasho.

Rasho taking over. :toast

After great FT's for 4 quarters- they miss 3 in OT.

Its crazy how weak the east is, if it wasn't for the powerhouse that is boston i would think the rest of them were D-league teams with the exception of cleveland which would probably be a 6th seed in the west

Actually Rasho played very well this game. I think JOB should have brought him back in with 3 minutes or so to go because he was having a great fourth quarter. Pacers were up by 5 when Rasho went to the bench with 5 fouls.

I think the Spurs would gladly take a center who shoots 6-9; 2-3 FTs and scores 14 points against the Celtics, while also handing out 3 assists.

The Pacers should not have went to Rasho in OT. Stick with the Foster/Murphy frontcourt.

Anyways, they blew their chance when they failed to secure a rebound in the 4th.

The Celtics are very very good in the clutch. They have two incredible 3pt threats and Rondo always seems to find a way to get one of them the ball.

What? The East has been good so far this season. The Celtics and Cavs have the top record along with Orlando. The Heat have Wade healthy and they have won on the road @Phoenix and San Antonio and are 4 wins from matching thier win total from last season. The Knicks and Nets are playing well of course you also have the Hawks. At least the playoffs in the East will be more interesting this season.

Thats ok because the west is still trying to get into their groove. With the exception of Phoenix now with Porter, the west>east!
