EC FINALS, Gm 1 – Pacers @ Celtics – 8:00PM, Tues, May 21, 2024

[zoyathedestroya]

Just go small. Can't be any worse. Kornet not defending the rim. Try something else.

[meatball sub]

we're up double digits if kornet never touches the floor. he was THAT awful

[playa-hater]

Carlisle vs Mazulla is almost as bad as Spo vs Mazulla, but Carlisle has actual players.

Now we're getting out hustled too

This is the first healthy team we've faced in the playoffs so far too. Mazulla is getting exposed.

He was exposed over a year ago.

Sooooo muchhhh this ^

[Kalela]

How is Derrick white just letting Haliburton just shoot that with ease?? Be up in his **** face

I didn't get that either. He had few seconds to get a shot off, why give him all the space in the world? Weird laziness creeps into these guys every game.

A shot with a foot on the logo with how finnicky the NBA is to call fouls?

Heady play to just let that one fly and live with it vs giving up a PF and 3 FT's

[Parliament10]

The only thing about putting in Queta, is that he'll double the Celtics Fouls.

[Jerboski]

Tatum got really lazy most of that second quarter walking the ball up a lot not being aggressive

How is Derrick white just letting Haliburton just shoot that with ease?? Be up in his **** face

I feel like white has shrunk in these playoffs

Oh please. It's been one half of basketball..and it's a tie game..you're acting like we're down by 20 lol.

Is Mazzulla the one out there on the court missing shots and playing defense? Nope.

Some of ya'll really act like everything that happens in a game is all on the coach.

It's a players league.

You can’t call someone exposed half a year into their coaching career

[The Corey's]

I once saw the Celtics beat the Pistons 66 to 64 in a playoff game..... This century.

Where the hell is the defense?

[ThePigeon]

Indiana should be excited. We lay their ball
And we still can't guard the P&R

We just need to play better defense. No more mental lapses and losing a player for an open layup

Let's go Celtics!

[Fencer reregistered]

After that hot start, Jaylen was a little too eager to attempt tough drives. He started shooting 6-7, so he must have finished the half 1-5.

Still, 3/1 A/TO in a half isn't bad.

[Scarletfire81]

I mean im all for criticizing Mazzulla but some of these shots have been ridiculous

[Parliament10]

Pacers are help covering, but not Doubling.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Indiana will win this.

Nothing surer.

It’s like every bad home loss.

Can’t hit 3s and letting a team torch them defensively

[Bill Lumbergh]

Luke against Turner was not good.

[playa-hater]

Just go small. Can't be any worse. Kornet not defending the rim. Try something else.

Joe does not deviate from his premeditated rotation hardly ever.

Too bad Queta and Brissett won't even get a chance.. No guarantee what they will do but certainly not having the courage to even try is one of Joe's many faults..

[1st banana]

Gotta just continue to get into the paint for layups and kick outs. It’s there all night.

Defensively rotations are not great too many lightly contested 3s and scrambling. Getting zero calls on the offensive end but have to worry about **** we can control.

And stfu Doris my god she can’t even hide her excitement for the pacers.

[PierceFan4ever]

We have no bigs aside from Horford and we have no wings besides the jays. The Celtics look small out there at times

[CelticsWisdom]

Pacers shooting 53% from 3 and not winning....

Celtics shooting 31.5% from 3, and can only heat up in the second half...

The 3 percentage is really the only difference. Celtics can still win this thing, but they have to hit some of those open shots!!!
