Calling Nembhard a future star is not helping us retain him on a reasonable deal, thanks ESPN.

Nembhard gives me Dallas Brunson vibes. He can make a series of moves inside the arc. He likes to shoot mid range jumpers and is not afraid of the moment. Hali got injured just like how Luka got injured 2 seasons ago in the playoffs. Both Brunson and Nembhard took advantage of it and really shined.

Both teams playing poorly in my opinion. Energy is just off for a Playoff game. Boston's offense is ridiculously bad for the talent level - they really riding these Tatum/Brown's post ups and faceups all game aren't they? They got so much offensive talent, run some plays or something. I feel like they're missing more times than not on these 1 on 1's.

If you're a point guard, there are definitely two coaches you want to play for. Carlisle and Thibs. Those guys get a lot out of their PG's.

Honestly Nembhard will be expensive. How good is this kid? Can do it all. Can the Pacers go over the cap to keep him?

Spurs should aim to get him

He still has two more years under contract. He's not a free agent until the summer of 2026.

I've said it already but damn Indy really blew an opportunity with those collapses, & chance to go up 3-1 ... Boston without Porzingis is just an Ordinary "very good" team, nothing special. Everything is gelling for Indy's role guys right now, gonna haunt them a long time since no guarantee they get back here.

Well. At least I don't think the Pacers are gonna let him get away.

This series is a perfect example of why people doubt BOS. Like why is this series close? Even if IND had Haliburton it shouldn't be all that close. And now in back-to-back games without Hali the game is close. Very strange.

Celtics might want to stay on their feet instead of falling down after ever shot Embiid style.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nembhard may contractually be the best value in the NBA
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]
