Jaylen Brown has been awesome in these playoffs.

The refs are going to review that Brown 3 at the first stoppage. Ref #15 (I think) made the review sign.

If you never saw 96-98 Jordan, TJ is pretty much the exact same thing in the mid range area

I agree. It looked like it was slightly off which is why the ref made the signal to review it.

Yeah, I'm really scared for Boston. Having your first really tough, competitive series be the NBA Finals isn't good. They should be dominating Indiana without Haliburton and they're playing with their food. They're gonna get a rude awakening in the Finals.

i like the fact that the Celtics are fighting here. You can forgive them if they suffer a blowout loss tonight and just mail it in and prepare for the close out game at home but they want this sweep and that's a good sign for their mindset for the NBA Finals.

Weird read on this considering they’re the overwhelming favorites.

I guess I’m thinking the Pacers should get credit for showing some “fight”

Siakam's defense has been outstanding in this game.

Don't really know what the difference Haliburton would have made in either of these 2 games...That's not to take anything away from his, but Nembhard has been playing like an all-NBA player in his absence.
