In-Season Tournament, Qtr-finals – Celtics @ Pacers – 7:30PM, Mon, Dec. 4, 2023

Hopefully Haliburton plays. We beat those dudes without Hali by 50+ points and I don't want the C's thinking they will smash them again just by showing up. Pacers beat the Heat without him the other night and are still capable of putting points on the board.

I read the headline too quickly but read “Porzingis out for season” and had a bit of a minor meltdown. They gotta find a better name for the in season tournament

I'm with you as well. This would be like not having Middleton x2

They put up 144 against Miami without Hali, these dudes can light it up lol.

Haliburton with extra motivation to show out after JT stole the PotM from him lol. I thought he was the best player in the East first two months of the season.

100%

Also, I felt like JT was real hit or miss in Nov. Wouldn't have been my first pick or even 5th.

2x also, if Hali is playing my gut tells me IND takes this one. I hope that not to be the case but I feel this IST favors the hungry teams who can take down a knockout series and the C's appear to be exhausted from winning or uninspired at least. Shy of Horf and White, JT & JB are starting to get real sticky with the ball like last year, and that's not what rises this team to the top.

White and Holiday need to be on top of their defensive games. POA defense might be the #1 key to winning tonight. Next on the list is our own attack mentality. Pacers don't protect the paint. One of the leakiest defense in the league. Don't settle for threes. Could've really used KP in this game.

They should be more worried about what Tatum is going to do to their "defense"

I have a weird feeling Tatum gets a lot of calls in his favor tonight after getting ejected last game.
