Hardly. Typical Celtics game where they suck in the third and when they can't hit threes they lose.

Indy deserves to win. Defense couldn’t stop Halliburton.

Just gross. You really see the flaws in our offense, when we can't score enough against the 29th worst defense in the league. If Joe can't figure out how to beat that defense, what will we do against better defenses in the playoffs?

27% from the three for us, 46% for them. What a night.

Tatum can't keep his energy level high enough with all his crying.

Can’t blame every loss on the Coach. There were other things going on.

Everyone said that about Miami and Atlanta’s shooting in the playoffs too. When is it a trend lol

Cornet will catch an occasional alley.dunk or two and people act like he's playing a great game

He will get a block or two because he is always on the attack.. He is a horrible defender. It is literally all on video rewatch the game..

And I don't mean you I mean his supporters..

I swore Holiday was a better offensive player than we’ve seen this year.

But then again I thought the same about Brogdon last year.

Getting knocked out here is probably a blessing, Joes amateur hour on the sidelines!

Kinda, but the C's still could've won if Tatum hadn't **** up his ankle on the first play.

Pacers got lucky at the right time. That was a very flukey shot by Haliburton but he definitely played like a superstar tonight. Celtics too careless with the ball at the inopportune times as well.

I blame Brad for not trading for Haliburton when he had the chance.
