haliburton needs to hit the weights

[marson]

what a chokejob Indy, you had one job

[Beenie]

Pacers took a royal poop in their pants.

Mind bogglingly bad turnovers down the stretch

[Rapaz]

If Rick Carlisle worked for Mama Gayle, I’d chitcan his ass before the clock hit zeros.

[wade44]

That was painful to say the least.

That was painful to say the least.

That was almost as bad as watching the Heat lose. That's how much I hate the leprechaun bishes.

The East is so wide open lol Celtics are overrated as hell. Mitchell, come to the team the runs the East and let’s win some rings.

[Wiltside]

Honestly, the league is wide open. Nobody scares me.

We're a few moves away from being right there.

That loss was on Rick Carlisle. You gotta foul in that situation and Celtics had no timeouts. They saw what Maxey did to the Knicks..

JJ Reddick said it a bunch of times on the broadcast, but Siakam was out of position to foul even if that was the intent (which it probably wasn't). He couldn't have fouled him without giving him 3 fts, although that might not have been the worst outcome since Brown is shooting FTs in the low 60s this postseason.

Celtics fans on the GB are surprisingly soft lmao. Kinda like their players, I guess. Shoe fits.

It was but it wasn’t, Haliburton had some INSANE turnovers to close that one out. Holy **** this forum would’ve been going crazy if that was us

[3ammy3uck3ts]

FT discrepancy was wild too, NBA the jig is up!!!

[Bishop45]

Not wasting any fake hope on the Pacers, looking forward to Celtics/Wolves or Mavs

The Pacers did try to foul on that last shot in regulation.

Joe Mazzulla makes clever move to propel Celtics Game 1 comeback

With Indiana nursing a 3-point lead and eight seconds left in regulation, fouling is the usual play to ensure a team does not have a chance to tie the game with one shot.

Rick Carlisle confirmed after the loss that was the Pacers’ intention on the play. However, Joe Mazzulla used a bit of craftiness to force the Pacers and Pascal Siakam into a bind. Jaylen Brown set a screen and then had a delayed one set for him by Derrick White as he curled into the corner. Jrue Holiday found him with the pass after a slight delay on the inbounds and that left Siakam in a tough situation with Brown already entering his gather in the corner.

“It was a very well-executed play by the guys to create kind of indecision,” Mazzulla said. “We were maintaining. I thought D-White set a great screen, I thought Jaylen had great balance. Great pass, great shot. So just a well-executed play by the guys. Good situational awareness, and good execution.”

Jimmy butlers injury was the best thing to ever happen to the Celtics, YMCA men’s league rings included

We basically got Bryan Forbes'd by Derrick White.

Derrick White against us in the first round:

22ppg on 58% fg and 48% 3pt.

Derrick White against the Knicks and Pacers (thus far):

14ppg on 38% fg and 38% 3pt.

That's because both teams have length and defense to throw at White, we didn't. We put the smallest players on him or left him open. I stg we need to be finished with this small ball ****.
