9 points, doable.

Celtics need to defend the paint and rebound

That wasn’t needed at that moment

An extra possession is worth far more than getting a better shot. But we didn't get an extra shot because of the bs foul call.

Can't win this with Tatum on the bench, might need him the entire quarter

This team is just **** stupid. Low bbiq. If we tried to score inside, instead of chucking 3 straight ill advised 3’s, we could have tied this already. Apply pressure inside, and make free throws. So sick of the 3 ball. That 3 by Dwhite was just terrible.

I didn't like Tatum passing up a wide open three to pass it to White who isn't hitting his shots tonight.

Been watching the Tatum/Brown core for years now so how in the green hell do they still not know how to closeout quarters?

How do you let an ice cold Mcdermott off the bench get that position down low. One embarrassing play after another in this game.

When your ass like Derrick white is today you’re better off trying to get a quality play. Like this is the worst ive seen white play in these playoffs so far. Just play smart and end the quarter strong instead that missed led to a pacers end of the quarter basket which is huge

The only problem is they are starting out every quarter poorly for some reason.
