Nope, it didn't go into OT. You are alright :nod:

I know I said I just want them to stay competitive, but honestly... I'd prefer a 30 point blowout to this.

Man, that sucks so much. All this effort, all this hard work, all the Dipo heroics. Everything goes down the drain because of a single mistake. I'm so sad

Oladipo... man... that guy is something.

Yep, this one hurts. A lot. Opportunity to move up the standings, start making some noise in the East... Wasted.

OK, let's hope this one will be a good teaching lesson for the new Pacers team. But still, very painful lesson. What Bojan did was completely unnecessary. Didn't expect that from him.

OK sadness, be my guest tonight.

Yep, we know. And Pacers and Victor will be just getting better.

Was at the game tonight. 8th row.

Disgusted.

I would just be glad that wasn't a postseason game. Like that's the type of loss that just absolutely swings a series and deflates you to the point where your team doesn't even recover for the next game. Maybe they learn from that one. The 19 point comeback should give them some confidence.

Boston was reeling too. Hate to give them that one

OK, I go outside for a beer and a smoke. Still have nightmares about what Bojan just did.

No way José, this was entertaining :lol:

The Celtics have the defenders and the clutchness of Irving to finish close games in a good way. What Bojan did was stupid but credit also to the Celtics. They found a way to win another close game.

We just need to put some defenders next to Oladipo 8-)

Or low IQ players who make the right decision at the end of games :lol:

Im not even a Pacers fan and im so angry rn. Couldn't just take the free throws.

Reminder that Bojan is an ~84% FT shooter.

I just watched one of the most stupid decisions in basketball history in person.

I can't believe that happened. No excuse for it for Bojan but also why did Joseph pass it? Just keep the damn ball. But that pass, man, that will be tough to get over.

We, Lithuanians, have this "beauty" to remember. Forever. Domas father, as he promised, came back to finish his career to our beloved "Žalgiris", was named Euroleague MVP at the age of forty. After the game even he was crushed. He just said: "You can lose, but not like that".

Pacers and we will get over. But will never forget.
