Celtics (25-7) at Pacers (17-13) Game #33 12/18/17

They deserve to lose. Choke a 19 point lead, bruh.

They didn't choke, when the Pacers missed shots, they were gifted free throws. That's what kept them in since the 2nd quarter.

4 calls in a row on Indiana possessions. Its like the refs want to keep teams in the game.

This was the start of the bad reffing. Literally 4 calls in a row on Indiana possessions immediately after a timeout after the Celtics went up 12-0 early in the 1st quarter.

We still had a chance, but you can only overcome so much.

The Pacers played hard. I give them credit, but the W goes to the refs for this one.

Half our team was in foul trouble too, disrupting our ability to play normally.

[PAOBoston]

Probably the worst loss of the season

[jpotter33]

Yes, let's make it even more lopsided refs. 30-16. Just make yourselves look even more incompetent.

[Kuberski33]

Who did more to toss away that game - Kyrie or Smart?  And what was Brown even doing on the court in the 2nd half?

[CelticD]

And they call the flop

[CelticSooner]

Indiana doesn't deserve to win this game.

They do more than the Celts do.

Nope. Refs carried them the entire game.

Are the refs responsible for the turnovers and bad offensive execution too?

Unless you expect a perfect game it is what it is. Refs kept Indiana around long enough for them to steal this game.

Alive!!!!

[Banner18now!]

The bad loses for this team are starting to pile up. They deserve to lose with how careless they threw the ball around tonight. They need to wake up they are not good enough to play half ass after getting leads.

Rozier and the refs. A joint effort.

[slamtheking]

Wow, where's that part of Smart's repertoire been?

[jpotter33]

And of course no foul for Smart, even after all of the soft crap Indy has got. Jesus Christ, Brad better rip these refs after this.

[tenn_smoothie]

Thank You Kyrie Irving for single-handedly losing this game for us.

The 38-footer off one leg wasn't bad enough, now he l;oses it out of bounds.

To be fair, there were plenty others who played a bigger part in losing this game

Didn't we still lead when he jacked up the sideline shot off one leg with time left on the shot clock ??   What is he thinking there ?

[GratefulCs]

the worst part is that the refs influenced the momentum for 3 quarters


would have been a lopsided victory
