That was a fun half.

We’d have even more points of Hali was playing, too.

Indiana is a good team. They have a lot of smart offensive players. Even without Halliburton, what the Cs have done so far is impressive. They gotta keep it up though because Indy can score.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Can’t say bad defense necessarily but Pacers getting a lot of layups. Refs gave us some jobber calls. I don’t know why Tatum isn’t protected like Giannis or Luka.

My only complaint is Tatum is a bad shot selection player with last second shots at the end of quarters..

Other than that it's been roses

One thing I'm very concerned about this team, and you should be too, is that if they win too easily and too often then nobody will wanna talk about the games outside the Celtics board. Very worrisome.

You don't like one-legged runners from 3?

He and JB really put their heads together to make SURE they wouldn't get a good shot there.

think dwhite has a superpower, maybe the block is by one of his other bodies but he goes back into himself before the cameras can pick it up. how else is he doing it as a guard?

It's already the 3rd Q and Giannis only has 7 pts. His team down a gazillion points.

Yeah why is brown just dribbling at the top of the key until like 7 seconds to Tatum? Tatum does this too all the time when he makes his move too late, defense gets a near trap and then a desperation shot is attempted.

Just go into sets quicker, who cares if the pacers get the ball back with 3 seconds in the back court.

A play also needs to be ran there. Coach should have plays set up for end of quarters..

I don't care what Milwaukee does early. They're gonna be there in the end with the top teams. I'm definitely hate watching the Heat though. I hope they have a disastrous season, miss the Playoffs, and Jimmy asks out by the offseason.
