2024 NBA Playoffs: Eastern Conference Finals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #6 Indiana Pacers (BOS WINS 4-0)

As a Boston fan, I have to tip my hat to Indiana. A sweep is not remotely close to the actual story of how hard Indiana played.

Do not discount what this experience will do for them going forward. Pacers are a 100% solid unit

How can you celebrate beating 3 teams without their best players?

What a run by the Celtics. Going through bonafide starts like Jimmy Butler, Donovan Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton all the way through three rounds is impressive...

Wait a minute!

What’s a game 5?

You just rather embarrassingly I might add needed 2 of them

76-20 on the season. Going to the finals. Nothing embarrassing about that at all. Keep telling yourself it is though champ.

Siakam is the reason they got to ECF. Theses isn’t that guy with 6pt games in the playoffs

Major props to Pacers man

One of the best offenses in recent memory Tbh. Just a wild ass variance inspired team that makes no sense. They actually defend at home too defend like the Artest/Jo Pacers in Indy all of a sudden

They were undefeated at home in playoffs before this series. I think their last home loss was in March. Even w/o Hali they posted some ridiculous streaks and numbers

I called a sweep pre series but they didnt deserve to be swept. This couldve easily and prolly shouldve been a 6 game series. Pacers rotation besides Siakam were basically playoff virgins tho and it showed down the stretch

It’s more enjoyable listening/reading people like you being so upset about it.

Cakewalk for the Celtics, they need to win the chip, or this will be the biggest choke in NBA history. Even then, it will be one of the easiest runs to a chip ever.

Mad respect to the Pacers, if you had Haliburton this would have been way closer. We all know game 1 could have easily gone to the Pacers.

Where’s the Reggie hoodie Hali was wearing?!? :lol:

Pacers celebrated when they beat the Knicks so why can’t they?

Tatum and Brown doesn't have the BBIQ to match up with Ky and Luka. If the game is close within 5 mins, I trust DAL to win every time

good one, way to throw all context out the window. You are the fool who asked what a game 5 was after just playing in 2 of them...

Celtics are clutch

I actually have 0 clue whos winning Mvp. Just toss a coin b/w the Jays but i want Jaylen to win it since Jayson has 1

Carlisle needs to go. This Pacers team will aways be capped out with him as their coach. He did his job of installing an offensive system, now they need a coach that will reshape them into playing defense like Jason Kidd did for Dallas.
