Nembhart is playing really well.
Gotta give it to him.

Shockingly bad defense. Incredible in an ECF game.

14 points is nothing in todays game, but you need to start defending.

tatum's shot was actually falling early on for the first time in forever and we decided to not play an ounce of defense the whole night. so disappointing

Not sure we can put this all on the coach when watching our starting 5 simply fail defensively. Really really poor individual efforts.

Pacers not worried at all about getting their shot blocked in the paint. They just keep attacking the paint.
Then when the Celtics back off to protect the paint, Pacers shoot a three pointer
It’s pretty easy

Jrue 1-5, 1 assist, 1 turnover, -7 …. If he’s dealing with the flu don’t play him, let me be ready for game 4

Looking forward to hearing our guys talk about how they need to be better prepared in the post-game presser

Giving him a wide layup line is pretty good. I assume a lot of people could take advantage of it.

This gets so annoying with this group, every series they take a game off… third straight series now they just flat out don’t show up

She’s hands down the worst announcer in sports. And it’s not a gender thing. She just sucks.

Lol. This team doesn’t have rim protection. Easy layups and shots inside. Mavs and Wolves have bigs that can rim protect. We have nothing.
