Brown was due for a big shot, just like he was in game 1 in the eastern conference finals, deal with the decision and move on..

He was 11-30 and 1-11 from three tonight. Absolutely a dumb decision. No rational reason to get it to him. Hell - if anything a decoy play to get PP, Hauser, or White a shot would've been preferable than either Jay getting the shot with how they were shooting tonight.

Pacers stink, couldn?t care less they won this game, disappointed in the Celtics waiting until the bitter end to bring it and now the cavs take over first place

They needed to close down that paint and Al was too slow and Luke to thin in this game. Queta needs to play when the paint is just being dominated by the other team.

On the plus side, during those last few minutes that I saw, Queta played really well.   How big would it be if he could actually be counted on for important minutes this year?

Losing a game by three with three missed free throws in OT is nasty business, let alone from the Jays.

He clearly had a horrible game and in hindsight clearly an air ball is not what you?re looking for?gotta trust your finals mvp and 2nd best player. He was wide open. They likely foul anyone else. 0 problem with the shot?move on.

Lost the battle but Queta will help win the war. The game totally flipped once he locked down the rim. Kornet and Tillman are a turnstile against that team.

Now folks will say "if Haliburton wasn't injured, Pacers would've won last year's series"

They couldn?t even manage to win a single game when it mattered and last I checked he played game 1 and 2
Haliburton is a fraud

Tatum & Brown playing way too many minutes and it's early.
Brown had a long season winning the finals and Tatum added the Olympics to his summer workload.
Gotta watch White as well.

Plus Brown's turnover and giving up offensive boards.
Tatum shot one step-back 3 too many and with the score tied.
Get a high percentage shot inside there and keep the pressure on.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Tatum went 5-18 from 3pt.  Brown was 1-11. Ridiculous

That's called bad shot selection, casual 3's, contested, taken out of the offensive flow and forced off the dribble with those stupid step-backs

No one played particularly well and we lost by 3 to a team playing like it was the Super Bowl.
We had no business winning that game, Celtics need to realize that?s how most teams are going to play against us this year.
