Well done Jaylen.

I thought Tatum deserved it though.

I’ve come out of this series far more impressed with Brown than Tatum.

They easily will. It's good you can admit the Heat didn't belong anywhere near the finals last year. LOL.


Correct. That must make it even more embarrassing that they rekt the Celtics to get there. :lol:

Sucks a lot less now. :lol: :lol:

Nah, it was time for Jaylen to get his flowers and he earned it.

Rick Carlisle knew what he had with this team and he played to their strengths. No need to get rid of championship coach. They made it all the way to WCF. Their style of play/defense should be better next season and of course no Tyrese for the past 2 games.

Would have been extraordinarily cool to win one or two of these close games, but it's a young team and it was good to be in the conference finals. 3 of the 4 games were sooo close.

This wasn't the team's only shot though. Looking towards the future now. Nembhard is only gonna get better.

Thank you, Celtics! Easy series win (-2.5 was too easy as well LOL) and thank you Pacers for covering tonight (+7.5). LOL.

Brown deserves the MVP in his own right, but kudos to Tatum dude put up 30/10/6. J’s ran circles all around this Pacers defense.

:lol: :lol: :lol: 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...


What context do you need?

Best offense in nba history
Best record in the league by 7 games
Best record in the east by 14 games
Best record va teams over .500
Best record vs the West

An 18 point per game winning margin the first 2 rounds?

A sweep in the conference finals.

Tell me the context bro. Or STFU


All your reg season crap you trying to keep bringing up is exactly what makes needing 5 games in the first 2 rounds embarrassing in the first place.

STFU yourself clown....

It's so weird talking about Tatum because just by the numbers he's had stellar games but the main distrust of the Celtics starts with him I think most people would admit. There are too many times he either makes bone headed decisions or just flat out doesn't want to take over late in games.

Hey Pacers fans, this series was so much closer than 4-0. It's been fun talking ball with you guys. Good luck next season!

10 days till finals start. It's going to feel like the season is over. The first game could be ugly if Dallas wins tomorrow and both teams are rusty.

Celtics struggling with Siakam and TJ lmao

Luka and Kyrie with Lively and Gafford lobs will destroy the Celtics.

Are you telling me Horford will be guarding those lobs?
Jrue and White are getting cooked by Luka And Irving
PJ Washington will be hitting corner 3's
Bronny will become Murray 2.0
