Series Thread: 1) Celtics vs. 6) Pacers

[bksballer89]

Pacers could easily be up 2-1 in this series had they not made stupid mistakes at the end of game 1 and this one tonight

this is a different Celtics team from the last 2 years … their heads didn’t eff em up this game … best win I e seen in many years … 64% shooting with no 3s in the first half … kraazzzeee

Pacers are done. They literally choked away games 1 and 3 it’s a shame.

 

[bksballer89]

Pacers got nothing from Nesmith, Topping, and Sheppard

Those guys ( especially Nesmith & Topping) can't combine for 8 points in a game that Haliburton doesn't play

Siakam also gave them very little after his hot start

They played lights out tonite … the NBA’s top defense just outlasted them …

Horford wanted it more than Nemhard...amirite @Tai Chi≈Surfing

Yeah this series could easily be 2-1 Indiana but gotta finish games.

I think Mazulla had something to do with it as well … kids comin’ along

I guess this Boston win means Zinger might get a few minutes of PT on Monday?....in case there's a game 5 in Boston...but in any event just to shake lose some rust for the Finals.

Easily. If Rick Carlisle would stop staring into space on the sidelines, the Pacers would be up right now. That's crazy. Boston won 64 games this season yet somehow look like a very beatable midpack team. Then somehow, they've caught every single break on what will likely be their way to the Finals. I've never seen anything like it.

They better win the finals is all I’m going to say because if they lose against the first team they play without significant injuries then it’s not going to be a fun summer for them

The media is already salivating just waiting to tear Jayson Tatum to shreds. Some of them have already fired off a few takes

Not impressed. Everyone they play is banged up

Seems most are forgetting Porzingis is out.

Zinger lol

Yep not impressed at all. You can make a great case that if Miami and Cleveland wasn’t as banged up that both of those series go 6 or 7

 

[Manster7588]

Or we can make a case that after Boston got tested they stepped up their game.

Meh.... probably just gonna end up being click bait nonsense mostly.
