Oh and I forgot- next game needs to be a 10+ pts win.. we're destroying the net ratings statistics...
Good assessment:

Looks like the 4-week timeline that was reported earlier is accurate.
KP back for Game 4.

That could be the only game KP plays in this series because I think Celtics will sweep this Pacers team.

Just caught the replay.
Frustrating game but the Jays came through. At this point, a win is a win and we need three more.
I really liked Joes timeouts at the end of the game and OT. He even had plays coming out of them which we scored off.
A lot will be said about the FT discrepancy but they are an extremely handsy team, it’s how they compete. They could have been called for a lot more.

That designed play for JB that sent the game to OT was well designed and properly executed.
Pacers had no chance to foul before the shot.
In the end Joe had no timeouts left when the final buzzer sounded while Rick still had 1 timeout left.

I know it's only one game but I said before the series that this series was gonna be tougher than alot of people think. This is a game you gotta win though if you're gonna pull off a huge upset as an underdog. I'd be beyond sick if I was a pacers fan right now.

This would've gone 6 or 7 if Indy won this game.
It's also true Indy fans are beyond sick right now.
This is a choke job by the Pacers.
All Rick had to do was call timeout to advance the ball and make their FTs.
Credit the Cs, they pulled this off when they could never do this during the regular season.

Reading pages 80 to 90 in the game thread.
Really made me laugh.
Some of the guys here haven't learned that doubting JT is a bad idea.
Multiple posts about giving up on JT and how JT is not clutch then like magic, JT scores on an And 1 then JT follows that up with a dagger 3 to seal the win.
Maybe JT has crow mentality instead of that mamba BS.

1:12 left in OT the Cs were trailing 121-123.
JT scores and gets fouled, 123-123.
FT made gives the Cs the lead, 124-123.
After Hali lost the ball at half-court, JT knocks down a dagger 3 to give Cs a 4-point lead, 127-123, with 42 ticks left.
That's 6 points in 30 seconds in an OT game of a conference finals.
Clutch enough for ya?

His defense on Hailburton without fouling at the end of regulation helped ensure it went to OT after JB's big bucket too.

We really need to ramp up the aggressiveness against Haliburton.
He is incredibly loose with his handle and does dumb as things

Just need to step up the defense.
Indy plays hards all game, need to do the same.

This is similar to last year's ECF where Miami got hot.
Indy already has 2 lightning in a bottle games, Game 7 vs. NY and this Game 1.
They will cool off sooner than later.
Cs just need to win Game 2 and Indy will fold like a cheap tent.

Crow for breakfast is very nice under the circumstances. I love being wrong in those. JB gets my vote, although JH and JT were vital in the end.

Don't count on IND getting cold
Just play harder, better defense and take care of the ball
15 TO is way too many (some of them are just playing cocky)

Not if these Celtics continue their nasty habit of stretches of defensive lapses during games.
All of this playoff experience and they still lose their defensive focus and down the stretch of the fourth,when the game got tight, JT basically puckered on offense.
Doesn't seem to matter who their coach is, they repeat a lot of bad habits.
