Makes no sense. Kornet is way too slow out there to guard anyone on the pacers, they push the pace even more when they see him because he’s bbq chicken and they can get whatever shots they want out there. Mazzulla should at least try to show adjustments out there but no he sticks to the same lineups at all times

58 percent ? Are you kidding me? Also awful shooting from 3 point range.

It's a tie game. And Kornet was a -4.

I don't think Kornet was very effective but think this is a bit of an overreaction.

Kornet is fine to play when Boston is up like 15 but if it’s a close game, Boston’s playing five on four on offense.

Celtics will lose this series if they defend like that.

It's time to pull the plug on Kornet and Hauser for the rest of the series...they are not ECF rotation players.

Same old story with Moron Joe. We'll probably out-talent this Pacers team but as usual our coach is giving us nothing when plan A doesn't work.

All this friggen doom and gloom in here. Get it together guys, did nobody see that coaches challenge that was won? frick.

I don't wanna hear this lame ass **** that the Celtics don't have anyone to stop Turner

Who's supposed to stop Tatum? Brown? White?

It's unacceptable that the pacers are scoring at this pace, in the playoffs, with a week to prepare for them.

Apart from Kornet and PP... Horford going just 1/7 from 3 hurt. Wide open shots too.

I think you have to go small when the bench comes in.

Can the Celtics integrate a 9th-Man into this Game?
I feel like, even though it seems needed, that it would be disruptive?

Our starting center is injured, that's why Kornet's playing minutes.

Of course he's hurt. Its Porzingis. He's always hurt. Its Stevens fault for not providing a backup plan, when it was a guarantee he'd be missing time throughout the season.

Porzingis
Horford
Kornet
Tillman
Queta

Brad assembled arguably the deepest center rotation in NBA history. It's not his fault that one of those guys (who would probably be in there tonight instead of Kornet) is out tonight because he just lost his father.

Yeah, his shooting has been pretty brutal

The difference is Al still can't shoot...had his oulier game last game and continues to kill them.

You can’t call someone exposed half a year into their coaching career

His first playoff series was over a year ago, genius.

Oh wow a first year head coach wasn’t great in his first playoff series, great insight genius.

It's not doom and gloom to wonder where the damn defense is.

You ain't winning **** with that kind of effort.

Larry_Russell · Post #877 » by **Larry_Russell** » Wed May 22, 2024 1:22 am

Much negativity here.

Celtics haven't played for 5 days and we are tied at halftime yet some of you all acting like we are down 20 or something.

Guys, turn off the game and go do something else gonna have a heart attack.

Jrue was lazy at times on defense, white didn’t even both to put a hand up on haliburtons three, Kornet, Hauser, and Pritchard getting destroyed defensively every play. Celtics need to lock in like the way they started the game, they take the foot off the gas too much sometimes. Haven’t shown any ability to get multiple stops after the quick start

NYCelticsfan136 · Post #880 » by **NYCelticsfan136** » Wed May 22, 2024 1:23 am

You gotta want it. Celtics better not fool around him. This pacers team is game. Nothing compared to Cleveland.
