Celtics (3-0) at Pacers (0-3) Round 1 Game 4 4/21/19

[Ogaju]

Good Job Celtics.

Jump on The Bucks first game and win back home court advantage.

Our bench really won that for us. Get the ball in Gordon’s hands more he makes things happen!

Congrats to the team for advancing and doing it 4-0 after such an unfulfilling regular season!

Fortunate to play the injured Pacers in the first round. The Bucks are a different story entirely. We're gonna miss Smart in that series.

Loved that play when Hayward dribbled outside the perimeter with Turner defending him and then shot the 3. Playing the point, a couple times

Great close out win. The Hardest game in basketball. Different guys every game. Very exciting!!!!!

Glad too that Kyrie recognized he wasn’t shooting well and Gordon was, and letting Gordon close the game out with some key plays.

For all who are wondering, Tim Bontemps is suggesting that if things hold as they are now, we'll play Milwaukee next weekend (likely barring any miraculous series comebacks by Detroit, Brooklyn, or Orlando). That's a great timeframe to allow Brad plenty of time to gameplan for Milwaukee and for our guys to rest up and heal any nagging minor injuries.

Boston completes a sweep of the Pacers, winning 110-106 in Game 4 here in Indianapolis. The Celtics move on to face the Milwaukee Bucks (barring an all-time collapse in their series, which they lead 3-0) next weekend.

Totally. Watching post game show and didn't realize Irving and Horford went 8 for 32 and we still win. Indiana was clearly looking to trap Irving.

Hopefully Detroit can make Milwaukee play an extra game or two  I doubt it though 

Week off is big though. They earned it.

Great win! Solid bench. Wow Playoff Hayward & Morris and yes Rozier.

I called the win at 108-101 which was pretty close barring those uncontested 3s at the end.

Rest up and hope Detroit can win one game and plan the Giannis defense.

The NBA doesn’t reseed. We’re definitely playing the winner of the Milwaukee / Detroit series.

Defense, rebounding and the bench won this game.

Credit to Morris and Hayward for being the stars of the game off the bench.

Credit to Rozier for a very good game.

Credit the entire team for playing 5 on 6 for much of the game with Marc Davis  doing his best to stretch this series to at least 5 games.

Credit to Stevens for some great work with timeouts today as well as sticking with the Morris, Kyrie, Al, Hayward and Tatum lineup so long in the 4th. It won the game.

The Celtics defense was incredible this series. Good rebounding series as well. Going to need both against Milwaukee.

Pat on back time...called a sweep, 5 game series win at best, weeks ago.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Nearly a week before the next series starts? Blech. I hate waiting around. And the Cs generally don't fare well in their first game back after a long layoff. Hopefully they can steal game 2.

Is this an advantage for us?  Aside from Smart, who probably won't be back soon, we're mostly healthy.  It allows more time for Brogdon to get up to speed.  He's a heck of a player and adds to MIL's already deadly shooting arsenal, not to mention tough defense.

Good that this series ended early...

Now the team goes home and have at least 3 or 4  days before travelling to Milwaukee...Im hoping Detroit atleast wins one so the series extends by another 2 days...If not, is the next game Wed or Thurs night?
