Both teams shoot 99 times, Celtics shoot 10 more threes, Pacers with the -20 FT differential. Hmm.

I couldn't imagine if the Bucks lost a **** Conference Finals game after being up 3 with possession with 8 seconds left.

Guys, I don't think we're making it past the Celtics this year

Pretty epic choke job. I guess this series is a win/win. Watching either team suffer is great.

Can't believe they blew that. Call that TO and advance the ball and its game over. I don't recall exactly when Hali fumbled that dribble and if was huge or not but that was horrible.

Good for Jrue to show up in this one, think he's been good the last few games after a bad start to the playoffs. I'd still bet he has some pube shooting games coming but still generally root for him.

This was probably their chance to make it a 6/7 game series. But Boston pretty much did all the exact same stuff that's caused them problems the last few years so who knows, maybe Indy can give them a scrap. Especially with having such a better HC

Playoff Jrue

Welp the only good thing about Boston winning it this year (gross) is that at least 1 good guy will get a ring.

As much as it pains me to see him in a Boston uniform, good for Jrue.

Not calling timeout and also not in-bounding the ball in the front court (with 8 seconds left) was a huge mistake with the Celtics not having a timeout.

If you inbound the ball in the front court, even if you turn the ball over, the ball likley doesn't go out of bounds and the Celtics would have to hit a 3 on a scramble play since they have no timeouts, or you would be in a much better position to foul before the 3pt attempt.

I am going to go watch when the Pacers took Giannis' ball.

Maybe I will be less annoyed by this....lol.

The version of the Celtics we've seen so far this year isn't beating whoever comes out of the West

That was truly pathetic from the pacers. I know it never happens, but thats the type of loss that can fold a team

I can never cheer for any East team not named Bucks. Wolves winning it all will be the best for the sport and the league. A Young MJ getting his 1st ring at the age of 22, finally a US face of the league established so Lebron can pass the torch. I hope the league picks Edwards instead of Tatum.

Bad loss, but going forward the Pacers will adjust better than the Celtics.

Know we know why Haliburton only talks trash up 15

Came here to give Jrue his praise. His numbers were great but bigger than that he had Haliburton shooketh late in that game. Not rooting for either team but rooting for Jrue for sure.

Jrue doing Jrue things when it mattered most. Its a shame I have to root for the Pacers in this series but f*ck Boston forever. What a colossal choke job by Indy.

Sure looked like Brown fouled Siakam with his left forearm on that inbounds play turnover. That should have ended the game.

You know the old saying, "Better to be lucky, face no real healthy competition until the Finals, and be gifted a 30 to 10 FT disparity, than good."
