It’s hard to see the Pacers slowing down the Celts too much, and yet look what happened in game 1 before disaster struck.

Still, I’d love to see the Celts not given a huge rest before facing the West champ. From the ESPN schedule, it looks like a West game 7 could happen on June 3rd, with the finals starting on June 6th, giving the West a mere two days off, potentially.

Pacers lost the bench minutes BIG TIME in this game. They usually have been winning the bench unit minutes so Carlisle is going to have to figure something out.

Jason Kidd has done a masterful job in the playoffs. Mavs are up 2-0 on the road. Incredible.
