Boston Celtics vs. Indiana Pacers: A Clash of Strategies and Momentum

Can the Boston Celtics maintain their undefeated streak against the struggling Indiana Pacers? With a 4-0 start, the Celtics are lighting up the court, shooting an impressive 43% from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Pacers, at 1-3, are grappling with a slower pace and diminished three-point efficiency. In a crossover episode with Locked On Pacers host Tony East, John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explores these dynamics, focusing on key matchups like Al Horford potentially guarding Pascal Siakam and Jrue Holiday taking on Myles Turner. The discussion also touches on the Pacers’ need to exploit Horford defensively to counter the Celtics’ high-scoring offense and much more.

    My fear, as always when playing Indiana, is the unguided missile that is Aaron Nesmith. Not fear of his game, although he has been great for them. No, I fear dives into knees, wild shot block attempts while our guys are airborne, etc. He turns his wildness UP against the C's.

    Always a pleasure to have Tony on the podcast. Much respect to the Pacers. Even with current struggles I expect they will be in the mix come playoff time. Boston won’t take them for granted for sure.

    One of my fears as a Celtic fan, and you saw it in the playoffs against the Pacers. Was the Pacers playing with a quick pace. The Celtic defense could never truly lock it down. I am wondering are the Pacers going to come into this game with same mind set or try something different. Lastly I am curious how the Celtics adjust and counter that if the Pacers play with a fast pace.
    Overall this will be a fun game and the Pacers are going to put up a fight for sure. Pacers have my respect. Great cross over video. Keep up the great work.
    Go Celtics!☘️

    Haliburton has been ass to start the season. Complete…booty. I actually worry more about Siakam. He’s a match-up nightmare. Anyway looking more fwd to the back to back with the Hornets this weekend. That’s going to be fun. Then…Steve Kerr comes to Boston😂Oh man is he in for a rough night. Thanks John and Tony 🔒☘️

    Perhaps we should track Season-ending Belt Holders. Could prove interesting in early-season matchups.

    John, you're 4 years younger than I am. I hate to tell you–my short term memory was MILES (Turner) better 4 years ago than it is today. The good news is that most of my coworkers (teachers) simply accept the fact I can't remember anything now. You could angle this for your pods, no doubt.

    We have the advantage in talent but they tend to play their best games against us and out-effort us. That said, we have to match or beat their effort.

    Nesmith needs to stop carrying a chip on his shoulder about how he was traded from Boston. If he stayed in Boston, he wouldn’t get a chance to develop playing behind the Jays. While playing there, he was not disciplined enough and played at a fast pace, making too many mistakes, so the Celtics did him a favor.
