We are pathetic at defending in the last few seconds of quarters

Lol Nembhard. Getting cooked by Kyrie will be a breath of fresh air after seeing this little punk doing this. Ffs.

2 not a 3 BUT EVERY GODDANG QUARTER

This is so frustrating to watch. Maybe I'm just a spoiled UConn fan who's used to seeing the better team take care of business, but then again, they had superior coaching.

Get Brissett in there for some stints.
We need Energy.

I’m mentally preparing to see Luka and Kyrie end each Finals quarter with a miracle shot at this rate.

It’s been happening all playoffs. Even the Cavs did it a few times.

Tatum has been phenomenal. Jrue has been good. The rest of the team, not so much. Hauser flat out sucks.

Hauser is useless against Indy. He has no offensive skills except making 3's. And he's shooting 2-13 (15/3%). He exists to make open 3's, not clang shots off the rim. Giving him too much rope when he's not on. You can see this in the warmup.

-Stop making Nembard and McConnell look like steph curry.
-Play with more pace on offense
-Limit the dumb turnovers on offense

Do those things and we win.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Which devil did they sell their souls to?

Siakam => Kawhi
Nembhard => CP3
McConnell => Nash

It's getting annoying.

It happens every game because our philosophy is 5 and out..

Every time we take it to the hoop its like a layup line but we keep taking guarded 3's.

Nembhard pushes off on every mid range shot. I give him credit, if the refs don’t call it then keep doing it

They have the second best offense of all time with Haliburton and league 5th or 6th without this year and they are playing really well and really hard.

Sometimes it's that the opposition are playing really well and credit to them.

We can lift our effort at times but really we've just got to stick with it. The talk about Pacers from the wider NBA community has been lazy and ignores the fact they have been legitimately good. Not a bad thing for Celtics to deal with and learn from.

I guess being up 3-0 and being up 58-57 at the half despite the Pacers seemingly hitting every difficult shot has me worrying less. Pacers are playing their hearts out and the Celtics outside of JT are playing uninspired basketball, but somehow the Celtics are still up 1. THey just need to switch to a higher gear in the 2nd half and they got this.

He actually hit a 3 tonight at least. Maybe he can hit another in the 2nd half?
