Could have used Porzingis tonight. Big Al had his once a week old man night

I'm sorry that 3 by Haliburton was a goofy shot lmao.

Pacers are good

No they are not.

They are barely over .500 and have the second worst defence in the league

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?

There is no flaw. The pacers did a really good job and brought intensity. The Celtics really struggle because Al isn’t what Al used to be. They really have nothing inside. Tatum was good in ISO. We couldn’t guard freaking Aaron Nesmith.

What else is new. When the Celtics dont hit threes zero pivot in style and can't score. They easily could have one but can't stop turning it over and spamming threes. Pacers are trash on defense.

JT why arent you pulling up for trash 3's now??

They didn't deserve to win. Shot poorly, played hero ball.

Mazzulla is a trash coach. Those 50 million lineup changes was garbage. Guy has zero feel for the game.

You can never trust this team in a close game. Whether it’s offense or defense they don’t get it done late in big games.

Didn't the same **** happen in the ECF though? lol

Yep, you can convince me it's variance if it's a single game. If it's an entire series, something else is going on.

I mean Haliburton just hit some unreal shots man.

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

I've been saying that for a while now. When you consistently get "fluke" shooting against you maybe your defense isn't as advertised.

He was taking goofy-ass shots all night. Pacers aren't a serious team in terms of the playoffs imo. Like yeah Halliburton can toss up prayers that go in sometimes but you can't count on that 4 times out of 7.

I was hoping Jrue would the calming, confident presence in these big moments that the team lacked in the past, but tbh he seems like one of the most frantic and uncool players out there.

Such a mentally fragile team. Doesn’t matter who the coach is.

Celtics will never win anything with this guy.

About to be 11-8, with a decent amount of injuries.

They’re a good team, they just don’t defend lol.

Hauser a team high +15 has only played 22 minutes.
