If the Cs win both games in Charlotte then this loss will be forgiven. :lol:

I would be speculating bigtime If I thought Queta could ever be a quality starting center in this league. But Boston really needs to find out. Give him a real opportunity to Grow. He seems like his floor could be at least a real good quality 2nd string center.

Interest choice from the Pacers PR team to play ‘All I Do Is Win’ after the game knowing we sent them home in that building 5 months ago & then nearly blowing a 24 point lead tonight lol

Brain dead most of the game. And still nearly won.

It's amazing how little I give a **** about a loss knowing we got a ring already lol. The comeback in the 4th and Queta (hopefully) breaking out as a rotation piece helps too I guess.

If this is the start of Queta getting real minutes, even just until KP returns, then this is like the opposite of a pyrrhic victory.

I mean, if we win 80% with Porzingis out we'll be in pretty good shape when he comes back.

I said that last year.

Queta has the potential to be a starter in the NBA.

He just needs experience.

I like Queta's potential but needs to "figure it out" per se; this was a really promising game, but he makes a lot of stupid mistakes like fouling too much and missing easy passing reads. I don't think he's anything more than a situational guy, hope I'm wrong though

Tatum and brown force 55 shots while white goes 8 for 9

How did we only lose by 3? Statistically we got dominated across the board.

Cs now 52-50 when FMVP takes more than 20 shots in a game. Barely .500 team.

The three-ball. Cs had enough of an advantage in makes to keep it close in the end.

Still FMVP with a ring. He’ll take that stat over this one.

Still pissed we blew that epic comeback away. JB played ass missing point blank bunnies and losing the ball on his foot. Reminds me of JB east finals against the heat. JT settled too much in ot, chucking 3’s. JB missed two free throws and JT missed one. We had every chance of getting that win, but JT played hero ball. Would have been better if he let pritch or White take over in Ot if he’s tired already. Oh well on to the next. Would have been a good chance to push the Tatum mvp narrative.

For sure. Congrats to him. I still wanted to win this game. He should pass more and lose that tunnel vision of his so we can win more titles.

The Starters just weren't into it.
We should have sat them for the Queta, Pritchard and the Bench, a long time ago.

The 37 points still helps in the MVP narrative.

But just like the championship, JT will eventually win MVP within the next 8 years.
