Not to pile on, but we’re also 5/9 (56%) from the FT line. They’re 10/10 FTs on top of shooting the crap out of the mid range.

When the Celtics win this game are the same posters that have been **** on the team in this thread gonna eat crow?

Do you expect fans to be extra positive when down double digits in a playoff game? And what if the C's don't win? Are you gonna come here and say, "Wow, I was dumb for my earlier comments. My bad" No, you're gonna pretend you never posted it. Cut it out with this nonsense. Fans are allowed to be upset. It's part of being a fan.

no, its a sickness to behave that way.

if they lose then they lose, on to the next.

Jrue, White, Pritchard, Hauser, Brown are all having subpar games, well below trash for some of them
And Horford is getting abused defensively.

And Indiana right now is a caged animal playing without their star, down 0-2 to a superior team.

They have NOTHING to lose, nothing.

Those are not easy hurdles to overcome. But I will cheer for them regardless, I will not call for the benching of players, I will not call for coach to get fired. I will change the channel and be fine.

I do not expect for any team to go 15-0 in the playoffs while playing perfect basketball for 48 minutes a game.

Team is currently 10-2 in the playoffs, and yes are losing this game but have a great chance to still win it.
Im remaining positive about everything

And that's fine. Not everybody is going to share your extra positive energy when the team is underperforming though. Surely you get that?? Sometimes fans get upset, sometimes even pissed when their team plays like s***. It's a thing. Learn to accept it. Not every fan is a sunshine and rainbows homer.

Wyc made the call he wants another game in Boston

[Fierce1]

Man, we were up 9 early and the REFS worked it so Indiana stayed in the game....what a bunch of crap. Cheap off the ball fouls to keep our defense at bay.

Yeah, you're correct.

Even White was called for a flagrant.

[fallguy]

Can this team play defense? What an embarrassing first half.

You must not be watching the game because those incredible shots the Pacers are making were contested by a Celtic defender.

Not all of them. Stop making excuses for this ****. I thought they were gonna go for the throat tonight but they wanna give the pacers some hope.

Pacers had about a dozen easy shots in the paint against mismatches. Contest doesn't matter when you're tiny.

Wyc made the call he wants another game in Boston

He's gonna need that extra $5 mil to pay for this team next season.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

I can’t see them coming back and winning this game but let’s hope they prove me wrong

[fallguy]

Totally winnable game.

Maybe Carlisle will shoot himself in the face again.

[canman1971]

Not sure people understand, 12 points can be erased in one minute in the NBA

[Triple7]

Just get this down to 6pts before the 4th, if we can’t totally get the lead back. The last min of qrt 2, we played with some sense of urgency. Better keep that mentality. Don’t settle for 3’s. We can basically get layups if we want. Just hope joe don’t **** the lineup

[fallguy]

Tatum lol

[MaxwellSmart]

C's mailing it in now....f*ck this

[MaxwellSmart]

C's about to be down 30

[Bill Lumbergh]

Doris is a lot better playing off of JJ than she does off Mark Jones. She sort of defers to JJ.

[BK_2020]

Good play by White to throw it up knowing Tatum has the edge on the glass.

[meatball sub]

just the worst defense we've played all season holy **** this is beyond pathetic

[BRUNiNHO91]

A 16 pt lead against a team shooting 60% the last 5 games is basically a 40 pt lead. We are in big trouble.

[chrisab123]

Pacers are unable to miss a single shot

[BK_2020]

That Turner bump should've been a foul.

[fallguy]

Pacers are unable to miss a single shot

Refs continue to fix it so the Pacers hit shots.
