PG: Knicks vs Indy: Game 1 ECF

[R-DAWG]

Still expecting us to beat them. We are significantly more talented than them.

I’m not so sure about that. Halliburton is just as good as Brunson and while Towns is better than Siakiam - they have a lot more depth

Nesmeth, Turner and Nebhard outplayed OG/Bridges/Hart tonight.

Frankly, we don’t have enough high end talent as a top heavy team.

[Clyde_Style]

So this is what it feels like to be a Celtics fan

[Jeff Van Gully]

Everybody relax, this was just game 1. Both teams showed their scoring capabilities. This might be a long series. Don’t be surprised if we are back at MSG for a game 7. Its going to be wild but we are here for it

until the end.

Still expecting us to beat them. We are significantly more talented than them.

Not if Thibodeau allows Jalen to over-dribble on every possession.

The run we had in the 4th quarter when Brunson was on the bench should be an eye opener and a time of self reflection for both JB and Thibs.

[Jeff Van Gully]

So this is what it feels like to be a Celtics fan

tonight, for sure.

may it not happen again.

The hardest part about this is Thibs often doesn’t even seem like he cares.

Riley would lose heartbreakers and say things like “there’s winning, and there’s misery.”

Meanwhile Thibs loses a gut punch game directly due to his coaching and has no meaningful takeaway in the post game presser.

Never holds himself accountable. Always has some stock copy/paste answer about “looking at the film” and moving on to the next game.

He’s gotta go. I’m sorry.

[Wildcat]

Why we lost? In order.

1. OG really **** the bed on D. Drop coverage on like 3 of those Nesmith.
2. Thibs brought in KAT and JB when this team was rolling on D.
3. FREE **** THROWS!
4. Easily the worse 40 PT performance I've see JB do. He absolutely killed momentum.
5. Hart falling all over the place.

[WargamesX]

Literally we as fans have to demand that Reggie not announce anymore Knicks game at MSG. Yeah he can announce them somewhere else but it’s been what 30 years. He should be persona non grata up there with Oakley. He wants to come to a give sit with the fan in the stands.

Reggie was actually digestible tonight.

Nah that isn’t good enough kick him out

[Red Vines]

If we're a serious team this will make us better, we'll find out Friday.

I'm legit worried about momentum. What lead is now safe for us...we thought our game 1 vs BOS was improbable....then we follow up with game 2.

this was a worse loss then both those blown leads because of how much we were up with so little time.

How does a team score 20 pts in 3 minutes?

[R-DAWG]

I don’t know what the clock was but OG takes an early 3 even though he was missing most

Dumb

But putting JB back in was iffy and we all felt it at the time

OG isn’t a good offensive player. Against the best teams in the biggest moments you want him to be a catch and shoot guy. He’s really been awful in these playoffs and he is a major reason why we lost tonight.

And we need more from Bridges. Period.

[K_ick_God]

When Thibs decides to put back Jalen it was ‘No way I’m gonna sit my best player’ like the knee jerk that he is and not ‘But does this help me win?’

Pacers hadn’t even made a run. So he’s just being a small minded person

Which he is … zero feel or creativity and no bending of “rules”

Screw him. Million ways he could have won this game and he has no control over the team and his subs suck

[Adelheid]

knicks let the pacers pull them into the pacers' preferred tempo. That is wrong.

[NYKat]

Everybody relax, this was just game 1. Both teams showed their scoring capabilities. This might be a long series. Don’t be surprised if we are back at MSG for a game 7. Its going to be wild but we are here for it

Knicks fans irritate me, act like they won the championship off one win and want to fire everybody off of one loss, it’s corny

[Capn'O]

Brutal choke and terrific shotmaking from Indy.

Take the next one and then split in Indy. One game at a time. This one is probably going the distance.

[Clyde_Style]

So this is what it feels like to be a Celtics fan

tonight, for sure.

may it not happen again.

I would prefer that, because

[Context]

I **** hate the way the refs allow Brunson to get fouled. This aint **** football!

[mpharris36]

OG really had a disaster finish. from not getting up on multiple nesmith 3's

and then fumbling a wide open dunk that would have sealed the game.

absolute choke job by the team.

[Kidknick!]

Game is on Thibs. The defensive lineup was killing the Pacers and Thibs went away from Deuce and Mitch

Say it again. And again and again.

[rajajackal]

we got blown out by the celtics twice. this game was competitive, we were in front, and we lost in crunch time. not by a lot. now is not the time to stop believing!
