Boston Celtics backup point guard Terry Rozier says Games 1 and 2 against the Indiana Pacers weren't chippy, a big difference from the Celtics' first-round series versus the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2018 playoffs.
Rozier and Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe got into it a lot during the 2018 playoffs. So far in this series, though, the Celtics and Pacers haven't had any truly tense moments.
The Celtics are up 2-0 on the Pacers. Boston will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on Friday. Rozier thinks Games 3 and 4 could be choppy in Indiana since the Pacers are desperate for a win:
“I think it’s going to be more chippy tonight for Games 3 and 4,” Rozier said, via Tom Westerholm of MassLive. “More competitive tonight. But we’ll see. It hasn’t been like that these first two games. … Just seeing how the games going to play out, we already played two at our spot then going back to their house, they’re going to be trying to be aggressive and talk some things. Which is fine, it’s the playoffs, it’s a lot of fun.”
Rozier is averaging just 4.5 points through the first two games of the series. Celtics star point guard Kyrie Irving is back in the playoffs after missing it last year, and he hasn't disappointed.
If the Celtics win Game 3, the series is pretty much over. No team has ever come back from being down 0-3.
