The Pacers are getting close to 5 to 6 passes per possession. **** you, joe **** you, joe **** you, joe.

Anyone who says coaching doesn't matter in the playoffs. Really has no clue about basketball.

And if that is disrespecting, joe, then so **** be it
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

80 points. Game’s already over at halftime. Never seen something like this.

I don’t think the Knicks are capable of something like this but the Celtics better be careful tomorrow.

I said a 20+ deficit.
IDK about coming back from a 41 pt deficit.

Has it ever happened in the Playoffs?

We are all forgetting how otherworldly JT can be when he is balling.
He has had innumerable incredible games.

Did he show up against the Pacers last year? Wasn’t Brown that bailed us out against this team?

Don't underestimate Any opponent. That's what the Cavs have done.
Celtics need to be cognizant of that.

Largest comeback ever was 36.

Largest playoff comeback was 31.

In other words, this game is over.

Cannot remember.

But I do remember JT having many runs of MVP games during his career.

I wished the Celtics looked at this game. You know you gonna get the knicks best shot tomorrow so they better be prepared.

I think we are much better than the knicks than the cavs better than the pacers yet here we are down 1-2

I 10000% agree w u, but you have posted this 15 times in a row.

I guarantee u the entire coaching staff & team took off 2 hours tonight to scout this game.

I said this halfway through this season but the Cavs are just this era’s version of the Derozan led Raptors. Great regular season but your #1 option is the 12th best player in the league & there’s a certain ceiling to that type of team.

Wow. Cavaliers are 10 more points than that, at 41 pts down.
I'd say that this Game was over. Might need to Pull the Starters, and Regroup for next Game.

Cavs have been frontrunners all season long...

I have to admit I'm enjoying it, esp after all the detactors of our path to the finals last season, Pacers were the toughest opponent

I see old friend Max Strus proving you can take the kid outta Miami but not the"cHeat culture" out of the kid

Regarding coach Carlisle, while I love his team's style, IIRC his late game decisions helped cost the Pacers a few games in last season's ECF

That Pacers run to end the second half was something else.

I don't know. Does averaging 30.3 pts, 10.3 rbs, 6.3 asts and 1.3 stls in a sweep count as showing up ?
