Pacers and Celtics strap in
Boston up 2-0, plus a look back at Paul Pierce's time in Indy
Five things I’m bracing for in Game 3 and Game 4.
Indiana’s Turnovers
There is the coverage, there is Boston’s comfort zone, and there is the size. All problems for the Pacers. Eight percent turnover rate against Milwaukee, 10 against New York, 16 percent turnover rate versus the Celts.
Boston is confident in its sets, the team doesn’t feel a need to leap unduly or lunge at driving guards, lay themselves out for those who aren’t even All-Stars. And this is without Kristaps Porziņģis in the lane, the 7-foot-something center with arms long enough to reach all the dogs gone to heaven.
Derrick White has wings to rival Ron Harper, Jrue Holiday basically plays center-slash-forward now as the actual Celtic forwards run about the three-point line. The freakouts that were supposed to happen with Horford haven’t taken place, there are no holes here, only lanes the Pacers roll the ball into.
