EC FINALS, Gm 3 – Celtics (2) @ Pacers (0) – 8:30PM, Sat, May 25, 2024

[Green89]

Mazzulla lost in the moment

A huge chance to stomp on this team and he has no idea how to do it.

[Setshot33]

Y'all really expected a Joe Mazzulla team to come out focused on the defensive end,huh?

[Bill Lumbergh]

I bet Al is going to start missing all those three pointers. He's going to have some dead legs soon, because Joe flat out refuses to play Tillman or Queta.

[CelticsPride18]

Carlisle knows we give up the middies. That’s their bread and butter.

Most of them are contested. Just tip your hat and move on

[Parliament10]

We signed Queta to be in the playoffs, and now that the right opportunity presents itself, Joe refuses to play him, Tillman too... What a joke.

We signed him to have an option on him next season. I don't know why people expect a 2 way g-league guy to play every game in the playoffs.

I think that Queta can do a good job, for stints in the Playoffs.
Might as well put him in there.

[JimmyFromNz]

Indiana have only made 1 three pointer...

This shotmaking and lack of interior defense is pretty crazy.

[Marvel]

Our starters will be exhausted because our bench isn't doing ****.

For the life of me i can't figure out how Hauser and Pritchard can't hit their jumpers, especially Hauser. I mean, it's not like the rim is taller and smaller (in circumference) in the playoffs.

He's a mental midget.

[meatball sub]

if we keep it within 5-10 before the half i feel good about them not making every bs shot in the 2nd half

[redslastlaugh]

Pacers literally shooting 73.3% on twos to start the game, 22/30. Come on, step up the D !!

[zoyathedestroya]

Death by Midrange in 2024. Wild.

Pacers have a rolled out red carpet to the rim. How about try a 7’ center as a defensive anchor?

Can’t be worse

[NYCelticsfan136]

What a shocker! This team doesn’t look prepared. Pacers missing one of their best players. This is what concerns you about this team. Don’t have that killer instinct.

[Triple7]

**** you Joe! We had a good lead, and you play PP, hauser and Brissett together??? What do you expect. Now, they are shooting hot.

[PierceFan4ever]

Pritchard still in the game lmao

Have we ever outscored the other team with him on the floor in this series? I think not.

Nope but for some reason Hauser and PP need to play a lot and do nothing on the court

[fallguy]

Mazzulla lost in the moment

Remarkably he is failing both strategically and tactically.

[Parliament10]

I bet Al is going to start missing all those three pointers. He's going to have some dead legs soon, because Joe flat out refuses to play Tillman or Queta.

It's really not a Good Idea, stricting playing only 8 Men.
Give a few Guys some spot minutes, when needed.

[redslastlaugh]

TILLMAN !! He’s i

[PierceFan4ever]

Tillman in and makes a turnover wtf Joe

[Setshot33]

Every time the opposing team loses it's best player, the Celtics always let their guard down.

This is not a one time thing...it's an established trend.

[Kalela]

Anyone else not the least bit concerned.

Turner, neb are playing over their heads and it wont continue in 2nd half.

And jrue, white, brown, pritch, hauser are not going to all continue to suck balls.

Miami/Cleveland Game 2s say otherwise though. Once these less talented teams go hot, they never stop being hot usually.
