Al Horford becomes the oldest player in NBA history to hit 7 threes in a playoff game. Beat Vince Carter by 263 days. He'll turn 38 a few days before the Finals start.

We are up 3-0, but this could easily be 2-1 Pacers. Boston has another level to reach. I will take the win all day. They should be happy but not satisfied. The 4th quarter was great, the last 4-5 minutes of the 1st and the entire 2nd quarter was a meltdown.

Just in the last 4 days.. I have witnessed one of the greatest big time shots For Boston by j brown..
And then one of the biggest defensive plays for Boston in holiday...
Maybe just maybe this will be our year..

Shout out to the goofy bastards who thought this game was fixed. You guys are consistently clueless but I love you.

Let's not forget White, with 13 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks. He also changed another 2 or 3 shots.

Thank you, three-ball. Without it, this isn't even close. Cs had 33-pt advantage from three and won by just 3 pts. That's how nasty the Pacers were from 2 esp before the 4th.

They do have another level to reach. If KP is healthy. Otherwise this is their level IMO. Which could be enough. I'm still praying like hell for KP to come back tho. Even at 70%, would be so huge for our title chances.

Gave my VC to these three. Don't care about no voting rules.
Finish them off in 4 and get your rest. Andrew Tryhard can get a puff btw.
VC to Zoya lol. Try hard is right this was a group playing over the heads with good coaching.

This is out of the box and Joe would never do it. But if it was me, I would play Springer next game for about 4 minutes each half and have him pick up Nembhard full court. I would have done that this game in the 1st and 3rd quarters. Springer's defense is really good and White and Jrue can conserve their energy.

I would've been proud as a Pacer fan (which I was for a brief period when Bird was still coaching them lol). They almost got us. They would've won against last year's version of the Cs hehe. Not this year.

TJ makes a 3 to give the Pacers an 8-point lead, 107-99, with 3:06 left in the 4th.
People were expecting Joe to take a timeout, but White pushed the ball and Jrue ended up getting an easy layup to make it 101-107.
Joe pushed the right buttons in this game.
If you're a Pacers fan, how in the world do you lose a game where you led by 18 in the 2nd qtr. and again led by 18 in the 3rd qtr.
But since it's Rick and not Joe, nobody will be asking to fire Rick.
Just imagine if the Celtics led by 18 in the 2nd and again led by 18 in the 3rd and the Cs lost.
The immediate overreaction would be, "Fire Joe!"

They’re just going to put a rim protector on him and use his guy as a free safety on rim drives not a good idea offensively

Re: Celtics Storm Back, Win Indy 500!! ECF G3 Victory Cigar vs IND 5/25 (BOS leads 3-0)
This was the most relaxed 18 point comeback for me as a fan. Somehow always felt like we’d pull it out. Jrue with an amazing finish, Al with some serious 3 point shooting tonight and solid d, and Tatum overall showing he’s one of the best in the game no matter how many doubt him. JB with a relatively quiet but not terrible game (glad he didn’t force things too much at least). DWhite I felt overall was pretty bad. Yeah not good shooting %, but he was just letting guys get to the rim until the whole team put on the clamps. The Brissett trick play didn’t work as well this game but good adjustment to get Tillman in there who I felt was much better than his box score. Can someone please put a wellness check out for Hauser though??
Now to check the inter webs and see if this 3-0 lead has dropped tickets prices enough to go to game 4 on the holiday.
