BTW, can anyone on this board explain how that wasn't a clear path foul on Jrue? The whole "he tried to make a move to avoid contact" is total horse hockey.


Marc Davis was doing everything he could to get the Pacers a win for the entire game, that's how.

Yeah, but this is the NBA, sports entertainment at its best. :lol:

Jrue is that mother **** dog. Lol bucks.

Tatum was spectacular dominant on all three levels played great defensively and made it rain running the offense.

Looked like **** Lebron out there but with a stronger hairline.

I’m sure everyone will say he was terrible again tomo tho.

Horford and his perfect eye lashes was amazing again.

Somebody's edgy.

Because he should have called a timeout with 8 seconds left. 2nd game this series with questionable decisions. Out Mazzulling Joe Mazzulla.

Let him have his own boat in the parade.

We have to understand that the NBA is a business and the Celtics sweeping the Pacers is really not good for business.

I mean what will the fans watch next week if the Cs are at home relaxing after a 4-0 sweep of the Pacers? :lol:

The finals games are already scheduled. If that series goes long, that just means less rest for them, but not more for us. If we are able to sweep I think we have 10 days of rest before the finals (which, I'd be tempted to say is too much if it weren't for KPs injury)

I thought Joe Mazz was too soft/buddy buddy with the players ? That's that the 'experts' tell me lol


He's a bad coach but being friendly with the players isn't really a problem.


Joe has his flaws, but has only lost a games in this playoff run so far

What saddens me is if we win the chip this year, Joe won't get any of the credit he deserves, even though we have been without Porzingis for a sizable amount of it

True.

Mavs and Minny going the distance means less rest for them and a higher chance of getting injured.

Bench needs to be better man. I don’t know what the **** that was. Been waiting on Hauser all playoffs to do something but he’s air balling threes lately. We’re gonna need him and PP to play meaningful minutes in the finals. Hauser when he hits a couple three is so deadly and our lead can go up so high in a hurry. He had those moments in the regular season but now can’t even hit 1 three. People want to talk about how stacked the Celtics are and all that super team stuff but lately they’re playing without a bench and missing a 20 ppg starting center so **** isn’t that easy like everyone expects

We want Al to have a ton of rest. And given JT has worn down in the past, him too.

Get that sweep and plenty of practice time.

The good news is Hauser is at an all-time low right now, so there's no other way but up.

Joe sucks. We might overcome him. Or not. If he pulls tonight's crap against Dallas we're going home.

Joe with a great timeout when Jrue was a little frantic bringing the ball across mid court on one of the last few possessions. Not sure he would have called that last year.
