Although the [M]Celtics[/M] wound up as the four-seed after an up-and-down regular season, they [M]impressed by sweeping[/M] the five-seed [M]Indiana Pacers to begin the playoffs[/M].
|
The fourth-seeded Boston Celtics had a rough regular season, but they've been perfect so far in the playoffs. On Sunday afternoon, they pulled away from the Indiana Pacers in the fourth quarter of Game 4 to secure a 110-106 win, and with it a 4-0 sweep in their first-round series.
Kyrie Irving and Al Horford struggled, but they were picked up by the Celtics' bench, which outscored the Pacers' reserves, 49-40. Back in his home state of Indiana, Gordon Hayward stepped up in a major way, putting in 20 points on an efficient 7-of-9 from the field in one of his best games of the season.
As the first team to advance to the second round, the Celtics will now have plenty of time to rest as they await the conclusion of the first round. Their opponent in the second round figures to be the Milwaukee Bucks, who themselves are just one game away from a sweep of the Detroit Pistons. The Celtics beat the Bucks, 4-3 in the first round of the playoffs last season, with the home team winning every game.

[M]Paramount Pictures signed a contract with Platinum Dunes in 2009.[/M]
|
Michael Benjamin Bay (born February 17, 1965) is an American film director and producer. He is best known for making big-budget, high-concept action films characterized by fast cutting, stylistic cinematography and visuals, and extensive use of special effects, including frequent depictions of explosions. The films he has produced and directed, which include Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001) and the Transformers film series (2007–present), have grossed over US$7.8 billion worldwide, making him one of the most commercially successful directors in history.
He is co-founder of commercial production house The Institute, a.k.a. The Institute for the Development of Enhanced Perceptual Awareness. He co-owns Platinum Dunes, a production house which has remade horror films, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
Despite his commercial success at the box office, Bay's work is generally held in low esteem by film critics. While The Rock (1996), Transformers (2007), and 13 Hours (2016) received moderately positive reviews, most of his other films, particularly the four Transformers sequels, have been received negatively by critics.

The films he has produced and directed, which include Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001) and the Transformers film series (2007–present), have grossed over US$7.8 billion worldwide, making him one of the most commercially successful directors in history.
He is co-founder of commercial production house The Institute, a.k.a. The Institute for the Development of Enhanced Perceptual Awareness. He co-owns Platinum Dunes, a production house which has remade horror films, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
Despite his commercial success at the box office, Bay's work is generally held in low esteem by film critics. While The Rock (1996), Transformers (2007), and 13 Hours (2016) received moderately positive reviews, most of his other films, particularly the four Transformers sequels, have been received negatively by critics.

Michael Benjamin Bay (born February 17, 1965) is an American film director and producer. He is best known for making big-budget, high-concept action films characterized by fast cutting, stylistic cinematography and visuals, and extensive use of special effects, including frequent depictions of explosions. The films he has produced and directed, which include Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001) and the Transformers film series (2007–present), have grossed over US$7.8 billion worldwide, making him one of the most commercially successful directors in history.
He is co-founder of commercial production house The Institute, a.k.a. The Institute for the Development of Enhanced Perceptual Awareness. He co-owns Platinum Dunes, a production house which has remade horror films, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
Despite his commercial success at the box office, Bay's work is generally held in low esteem by film critics. While The Rock (1996), Transformers (2007), and 13 Hours (2016) received moderately positive reviews, most of his other films, particularly the four Transformers sequels, have been received negatively by critics.

Michael Benjamin Bay, born February 17, 1965 in Los Angeles, California, is an American film director and producer.
After making commercials and music videos for Meat Loaf, Lionel Richie and Tina Turner, among others, Bay made himself known by exclusively making feature films with a big budget and a lot of special effects, especially explosions and fast editing, so-called High Concept Movies.
The breakthrough as a director came after he as an actor appeared in Michael Mann's TV series Miami Vice. In 1995, Michael Bay got to carry out the film project Bad Boys (1995) whose success increased the status of the two actors Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and his own. Since then, Bay has directed several spectacular and successful Hollywood films, in turn: The Rock (1996), Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001), Bad Boys II (2003), The Island (2005), Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of the Defeated (2009) and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011).
His film company Platinum Dunes has also made several new recordings, including The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
Bay's seven feature films alone have grossed nearly $ 1.1 billion in the United States alone, a sum that grows to $ 2.6 billion in revenue worldwide. This is the amount that makes Bay one of Hollywood's most lucrative filmmakers of all time (for comparison, Bay's director colleague Steven Spielberg filmed nine films with a total revenue of $ 3 billion and Peter Jackson made six films during the same period. which recorded a total of $ 3.5 billion).
