Mama Said They Knocked Us Out! IST Loss vs IND 12/4

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Tue Dec 5, 2023 2:52 am

Bummer you guys we lost the big tournament game this sucks so much!

That game was crazy lol. The Indy crowd was absolutely nuts and both teams brought the energy and played well. Game was back and forth and basically came down to a big 4 point play from Haliburton at the end. ****!!!

Next game is Friday vs either Bucks or Knicks (I think), Go C's!

This team is really not any different than the teams in the past several years. They continue to be god-awful in the third and if they can't hit threes they lose.

That's exactly what happened tonight. Boston shot 29% from three and Indy shot nearly 50% and they lose to a team barely about 500.

Also PP is absolutely atrocious offensively and he should be like the 13th guy off the bench.

Indy played well at home. Celtics defense broke down in the 2nd half. Haliburton is a stud and couldn’t be stopped in the 2nd half. Indy deserved the win.

The sun will come out tomorrow.

Game was lost as soon as Joe inexplicably yanked Tatum in the 3rd, when the Pacers were starting to gain a head of steam, and Tatum was one of the few playing well in the quarter. He left JB in, who tried to take over and failed.

This loss doesn’t bother me, Indy was just awesome in the second half. I question Joe, but whatever lol.

Haliburton gets the cigar. Big time player.

Like I said in the GT, the Pacers are a fun team to watch. They play better than they are because they share the ball, probably like no other team right now. Everybody gives their best effort and runs back on defense. They have a nice future.

As for the Celtics, they'll be alright.

I would have preferred if Al stayed on him there than JB.

Jrue, White, Al simultaneously sucking was too hard to overcome especially with Tatum and Jaylen being just ok, not dominant. Banton shows some promise but he absolutely cannot play with both Kornet and Pritchard on the floor. We need a bench guard who can shoot some and get some buckets off the bounce.

For now, I will fight anyone who won't let the world on here burn!

The Pacers were the better team TODAY. Their star shone brighter, whatyagunna do.

The Celtics executed really well on offense late in the game, matched the Pacers shot for shot, until the 4 point play.

This game was lost because Hali hit an incredible shot.

Not taking anything away from IND but I’ve always said this tournament favors the hungry. Celtics weren’t hungry for this one.

I hope SAC does the same.

I don’t want to overreact to what ultimately amounts to a regular season loss but as others have noted, there seems to be a pattern when it comes to our teams that have been built around Tatum and Brown that we don’t have the grit to finish games and advance, which is obviously what you have to do to win a championship.

My gut says it’s time to split up the Jays, I’m sure it’s an unpopular opinion but I felt it strong after last playoffs.

A Malik Monk type. Alec Burks is rotting in Detroit.

Well when you shoot under 30% from three, and your opponent shoots over 45% from three, you are going to lose the game. You can do almost everything right, but losing the three-point battle by 21 points is just not going to do it.

And not, its not just a Celtics issue. When you get outshot by 15% from three you lose no matter who you are.

Typical. Third quarter melt down, take the threes away and we can’t do anything else consistently enough.

The only thing that keeps some hope in me alive for the playoffs is KP. Other than that this is pretty much the same team of the last few years.

I'm very disappointed by the fact that when any team brings some intensity and physicality, they wilt very quickly. Soft ass team
