Indiana (31-43) At Boston (59-15)

Quote:

At various points during their storied history, 60 wins were expected of the Boston Celtics. They try to reach that elite win total for the first time in 22 years on Wednesday when they host the Indiana Pacers.

The Celtics (59-15) lead the Eastern Conference by six games with eight to play. During their glory days of the 1980s, Boston posted 60 or more wins five times in a six-season span, winning NBA titles three times and losing in the finals on two other occasions.

Overall, the Celtics have 11 60-win seasons, but none since the 1985-86 squad went 67-15 and won the NBA title - the last of their 16 championships - by defeating the Houston Rockets in six games.

Hosting the Pacers, and a win gets us 60 for the Season, great work all season long and although its just a number its a great sign of how well this team has come together.

Lol at our effort. I'm not mad or anything, but the lack of intensity is real clear, and expected. You can so tell that the Celtics are saving their energy. Pierce is out there just looking to get his jumper in a rhythm for the playoffs.
