Series Thread: 1) Celtics vs. 6) Pacers

[The Q]

You'll be silenced in about 2 weeks when the Celtics choke once again lol

It’s entirely possible

They’ve done it to worse teams

It has happened before

I hate how accurate this is

The numbers are crazy.

2023
Round 1- Dropped G5 vs ATL
Round 2- Dropped G1 & G5 vs PHI
ECF- Went 1-3 at home vs Miami

2022
Round 1- Didn't lose a home game
Round 2- Went 2-2 vs MIL at home
ECF- Went 1-2 vs MIA at home
Finals- Went 1-2 vs GSW at home

So if you include this year series, they have dropped 14 games at home and they were favorites in every one of those series except maybe the Warriors series? Don't remember who were favorites for that series

Celtics have listed Porzingis as still being out for tonight's game 4.
If they sweep the Pacers, he should be ready for game 1 of the finals on Jun 6th....or maybe if there's a game 5 back in Boston vs Indy on Wed.

 

[Manster7588]

Which poster thinks Boston will
Shut down Kyrie or Doncic ?

This will come down to what team is better. Not just the two main stars.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Still want to know which poster from the celts thought they could shut down Luka and Kyrie

Not answering for him, but, that might be determined by which refs are officiating each particular game...lol

And as they say......first things first.
Both teams still need to win 1 more game in their respective conference finals.

Going to be very surprised if the Celtics don't close this out with no Halliburton again tonight.

I'm thinking the Pacers take game 4.

Celts play harder after getting punched in the face.

that look on Brown’s face after that game 1 gimme told me they’d play game 2 like they did … but game 3 is giving me expectations

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Perhaps you should check in with yourself to decide what it is you are arguing....

No arguing. He questioned #1 D.

Literally throwing commercials into a moment of silence.....

That’s fine. I expect this to be another PJ Washington/DJJ series if that’s the route they go

I think everyone would agree they are better off with their two stars doing more of the work. Washington had the series of his life and they still ended up tied in points with the Thunder. Shai played tremendous defense on that last shot in game 6 and just barely didn’t get his hand pulled back enough to avoid the foul call. That’s literally how close the Mavs were to playing a game 7 in OKC. This isn’t about the Thunder though, this is about what the Mavs need to win and it’s not counting on that cast to ever do that again. It’s not probable.

Wow. Pacers are on to Dougy McBuckets minutes.

Do not know if I mentioned this....did another 25 leg parlay in game 1 of this series (first one netted me a little over 5k). Sam Hauser not making a trey cost me. $5 bet, would have betted a little over 2k.

Still a little bitter. And it's not just this strong ass IPA I am sipping on.

Holy sheet Batman

Actually Hauser has not been himself in the playoffs. It was a good bet

Pacers back up PG could start for most teams. Damn

Made a few bets after that big win and took a few months off.....betting NBA is a little more difficult than college and pro football. 1st year betting after many years of Hoop betting as a test.

@fightinfunbags had no interest in him when I said Philly should get him as a backup ball handler
