OT WIN RIGHT IN THEIR FACERS! ECF G1 Victory Cigar vs IND 5/21 (BOS leads 1-0)

[zoyathedestroya]

Joe needs to do something and not just rely on his players to deliver. Main concerns tonight: bench play and Horford getting targetted on defense.

[pac213up]

JB and Holiday were awesome. JT showed in OT. Bench was awful.

[FlightSisters]

Payton Pritchard was AWFUL. The pacers abused him on defense. Both as a direct defender and indirect, he led to a multitude of over corrections, layups, and lapses.

[Ben-N1ce]

Instant classic. Have to give it to JB for forcing OT. Celtics can play better especially Al.

[Tatumfor2]

Looking forward to the next 2 days of everyone saying we suck

JB for VC (saved our bacon)
JT for consolation. Stepped up huge in OT. (Torn between him and Jrue)

[Smart2Nesmith43]

Brown with the huge shot to tie the game at the end of regulation.
Tatum with 10 points on 2/2 shooting and 5/5 from the line in the last two and a half minutes of overtime.

Shame they can't close though.

[Bar Fight]

Pulled a W from the jaws of defeat. Hopefully this still serves as a wakeup call. Especially for Joe

[threrf23]

Tatum posted 36 & 12 & a +20, and I think he technically closed the game out for us, and yet somehow he sucked.

This is Jaylen's VC all the way. Siakam can have the puff.

Good bad win. Gotta win game 2 now, this one has the potential to be a back breaker for the Pacers, but not if we lose another game 2.

Burn the game thread. Lots of terrible takes.

[Riverwalk2021]

Brown was the GOAT of the game. Jrue was spectacular as well. Tatum, Horford and White all made big plays in OT as well.

Mazzulla and the bench are ass! We have to play our starters 40 minutes every game. Our loser coach will do everything he can to give away game 2.

WoWww

SNaTCHING the jaws from defeat of vicTory

[1st banana]

Also trashcal and Tyrese made some just dog **** plays down the stretch shoutout to them boyz

[Froob]

Yeah this is Jaylen first and foremost. He stole this one and Tatum took us home

[Celts17Pride]

Celtics got a wake up call and a win, nothing better than that.

Jaylen Brown was fantastic tonight. 26-7-5, game tying triple after forcing a turnover, and JB was incredible on defense tonight. Easy VC

Jayson Tatum played a nice game 36-12-4, horrible in the 4th and great in OT. Tatum for CP

Jrue was fantastic!

Celtics were fortunate but we will take it

[brackdan70]

Tatum, Holiday, Brown. All amazing.
Hopefully we take them seriously for game 2 now.

[Jakeopp]

That felt extremely lucky. Pacers gave a perfect example of how NOT to close a game. Had it in the bag and gave it away with turnovers down the stretch. Take the W but have to play better on Thursday.

[Parasite]

This team. I tell ya….

Jrue

[SLCceltic]

I really HaTE LOVE this TEaM

[CelticFaninLBC]

Starters need to play 48 minutes each the next game.

[Bad-Thoma]

Team, everyone made some big plays and everyone made some boneheaded plays. Nice performance in the clutch.

[TatumMVP]

Jaylen need to take this shots more, i belive him more than Tatum.
