OT:Celtics vs Pacers

[IcyPatriot]

A victorious choke ... good thing Pacers gagged in OT.
Barkley is correct ... iso ball won't cut it.
Pacers bench 30 ... Celtics bench 13.
That's all for now ...

That 3 by Brown though!!!

That 3 by Brown though!!!

That shot going in was pure luck, it even banked slightly off the glass. But better lucky than losers.

They played the defense right after Brown's 3 perfect.

Some real boneheaded decisions by everyone tonight, though. Starts and stops. It's clear though - if they string it together, it's hard to stop them.

Also, the Pacers are good.

That was a Havlicek stole the ball moment on that Pacers inbound attempt at the end of the 4th. Pulled victory from certain defeat.

The Pacers blew their wad in this game. That’s gotta be disheartening for them to lose. Before people lose their **** about it being close and almost a loss:

The Pacers are a historically good offense, better even than the Celtics. They are going to score points this series. Celtics offense can shoot better and their defense can be better.

I think the Celtics team should be pissed with themselves for almost dropping this game but as fans just enjoy it. It was an exciting win, it’s kind of disappointing when fans feed into the media narrative that we shouldn’t be happy with anything unless we win by 30 points every game and are holding the finals trophy.

9-2 in the playoffs.

I see some Gronk in him...in a good way.

Youngest in a family of athletic knuckleheads. Had to toughen up early on and probably received countless noogies.

As you've been following.. does anyone take the young n gun Pacers team seriously like I've been saying.. the Cs aren't at full strength and our bench isn't at the level of Pacers. Only way we beat them is by outscoring them. I remember when the suns had Steve Nash and they were run n gun offensely.. San Antonio known as a defensive team had to out score them the beat them in the playoffs.

When football guys talk about other sports lol, "To win you need to outscore them."

He is always tapping his finger. Constant energy
He’s like a sled dog. He needs his two long walks a day to fall asleep

The funny thing is that I know what he meant.

Derrick White was moving backwards causing Siakam to take a longer route to get around him to Brown. Was that an illegal screen?

Tough win against a good opponent. One of the matchups you didn’t want to see but if they put them away obviously it’s a big hurdle towards 17. Much would of preferred beating the Knicks for the 300 and something time. Never gets old.

Considering how good the Pacers are on offense, the most glaring deficiencies of the Celtics were defense (they could get it done mostly when it mattered, but could not keep it consistent. That start was insane and shows how good the defense can be), stupid errors like JT's turnovers, and some big shooting dry spells. Also we're without KP.

I am confident that they'll play better defense next game, they'll be a bit more consistent and it'll be a less close game. I mean the Pacers had everything going for them and we still did it.

Kornett was tough to watch. He had like 9 minutes, which was roughly 8 too many.

I wonder how different this would look if we had KP.
