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

[RJ87]

I think we're seeing JT unlocked right now with the addition of the two other legitimate star-level scoring options in Jrue and KP. Unlike last year where they'd load up on him and get away with it, there's just so much spacing and room for JT to work his inside out game this year.

Good chance of an MVP-level year for him, especially if the team continues to stay this successful.

Him adding to his post-game is really going to open up things for him.

I like this bench lineup, especially if there isn't a big on the other team that can punish us on the boards. Brissett and Stevens may be able to figure out how to use their toughness and athleticism in this lineup. It also could help those guys figure out how to impact the game with the starters.

Unconventional, but excellent idea from the coaching staff.

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

Seriously?  The starters are going to rest the 4th quarter and all be under 30 minutes.

If that happens, then good. I would have liked to see Brisset and the bench get the competitive minutes as well.
We are going to need them against better teams than the Bullets and Pacers.

[RJ87]

There we go, Pritchard.

Sam appears to have gotten the artillery recalibrated.  Great to see.

Svi.  Man doesn't pass up a shot.

But Hauser needed this.

Garbage time minutes don't develop players or test combos that we need ready.

There we go PP

[Silas]

Sam and Payton both feeling it.

[RJ87]

Hauser heard us talking about him.

Hauser and PP turning the corner

[Redz]

Let’s get 160!

[Atzar]

Garbage time minutes don't develop players or test combos that we need ready.

Aside from the fact that I disagree completely, why are you looking for things to gripe about in a near-50-point game?  Enjoy this, man.

[Silas]

Garbage time minutes don't develop players or test combos that we need ready.

Maybe ease up when your team is winning by 46.

[Celtics Mike]

 good to see Hauser find his groove
