The Boston Celtics will open their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Indiana Pacers later today. I released my usual scouting report on Monday ahead of a big game or a playoff series. I’m joined by Tim Sheils as we try to break down some additional talking points ahead of the series opener.
We look at the big man rotation, the battle between Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard vs. Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. What the matchup between Payton Pritchard and TJ McConnel could look like, and the different ways Boston can look to slow down the Pacers high-paced offense.

As a side note, on days like today, when there’s a podcast post email, I won’t send out the preview segment for free subscribers on the main posts. I don’t want to spam your inboxes with 2/3 emails per day. If you want to upgrade, you can do so here.
Hopefully, you enjoy the podcast/YouTube video! And more importantly, hopefully, the Celtics secure a win in the opening game of the ECF later tonight!
