Tatum has come up short in this game. He’s forced way too many shots

Is Queta or Knight too out of the box? Kornet getting worked this half

Who the heck are they supposed to play? Horford is ancient and the other big belongs in China.

He doesn't have to carry us but he just has to play better.

You didn't like that airball over two defenders?

Why is Mazzulla treating this game like a joke. In a real playoff game, the best players would player heavy minutes.

Everyone loves the Celtics but they play like this too many times and don’t get the job done. Can’t trust them until they actually do it. White spazzing, brown ball hogging, Tatum way too quiet and struggles when you need him most at times.

Let see what the team is like with Porzingis in the playoffs

looked like defensive slippage in the 3rd that was the bigger culprit.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Mazzulla wouldn't play Pritchard even when dealing with injuries last season. May they are playing him to build his value for a trade.


Who wants him? Boston is playing 5 on 4 on offense with him. He has next to no ability to put the ball in the hoop.

Turnovers and 3s on the road. Hard to overcome that.

Unless there’s somebody with a giant heart, this game is over. And that’s okay. IND is more than deserving of this and hope they take the whole thing (hopefully against SAC)
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Horford does a better job defending the PnR or the perimeter in general.

The Pacers are such a fun team to watch. They move the ball, and bleeping FAST. Every one of their players looks better than they really are.

This one’s starting to get out of reach with how we’re shooting and turning the ball over

Wait

#7 will be back soon
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Even though we've been winning most of our games, it seems like we really haven't played well for a good couple of weeks now. It's catching up to us tonight. Tatum has some numbers but doesn't seem impactful tonight.

I’d take a flier on Tacko if we still had him at this point.
