Pacers (2-1) at Celtics (3-0) Game #4 11/1/23

I really like White.

Remember when people thought we traded too much for him?

Team stats in 1st half were weird, Celtics are all over the shooting %, trips to the free throw line, rebounding, ...... but way behind in points down low and slightly down in assists. Are we winning this because we are making bad shots ?

[SHAQATTACK]

I hope we get 130 point tonight .

No lead is safe if Brickette is on the floor

My old binkie Aaron Nesmith looks legit.

He should come back. He'd be one of our best bench players instantly.

It amuses me how wrong the scouting reports were on him coming out of college.  The covid year plays a part, admittedly.  But he was billed as a sweet shooter who does nothing else on the basketball court.  Instead he's a great athlete and a ball of energy whose jumpshot is pretty streaky and he's arguably better going to the basket than he is spotting up. 

I still like him too.  Easy to root for guys who play as hard as he does.

People got totally fixated on the 1st half of his sophomore year where he shot 50% from 3 in 14 games against mostly weak opponents.  He was just starting conference games when he got injured.  His shooting % most certainly would have dropped.  They ignored his freshman season when he played 32 games and shot 33% from 3.

Now THAT was a forced shot from Jaylen, lol.  Generally don't like it when guys hunt fouls like that.

[Silas]

JB missing lots of bunnies.

[jpotter33]

Come on, JB. Stop forcing that crap.

Pacers 3-27 from 3
Celtics 13-22

Mykhailiuks lateral movement is very slow

[Atzar]

Hard to b*tch too much in a 30+ point game but I don't think we're defending well.  We're giving up a ton of open threes that Indy is just bricking tonight. 

I guess we were due one of these after the way our first few opponents shot against us.

[tenn_smoothie]

Joe has got to play the bench more, especially vs weak teams.

[hwangjini_1]

once more, name the celtics who will start the final quarter. my bet is....

pritchard
hauser
brisset
kornet
mykhailiuk

[ozgod]

Kp now the main guy with the bench guys

[Silas]

Hell of a game by our starters.
