Do you see the above picture? That's what the Celtics' Kelly Olynyk normally looks like. Prior to tonight's game against the Indiana Pacers, Olynyk took an elbow to the eye, courtesy of teammate Shavlik Randolph and now, the 23-year-old center looks like a completely different person.

So yeah, in case you thought anyone was exaggerating.

Okay, okay, enough

Even though Olynyk was listed as doubted before tipoff, he played through the eye injury and managed to have a pretty solid game with 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting from the field.
