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

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

Maybe ease up when your team is winning by 46.

Um, they cut the lead to 44. This is how these comebacks start.

LOL

Many Celtics fans know no other way.

Good to see the Howitzer get going again finally!

I like Sam. Sometimes he goes on a slump, but his shot always comes back around and he holds his own defensively. I'd still like another bench guy that can firmly put Sam in that 8th/9th man role, but I appreciate what he brings.

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.

Because I have seen us be great in the regular season and then not quite have enough to win a title. That's why.
I'm thinking about down the road into the playoffs, not meaningless blowouts of bad teams.

So you'd rather they play down to a bad teams level like they did last year?  Blowing bad teams out is a much better sign then it being a close game.

I give up. forget it.

Great night for Sam.  If he gets on a heater in his normal 7th-8th man role, forget it.

The feel of this team feels different right now. We're not playing with our food anymore, we're going for the kill.

[Silas]

The bench with 48 points, much better than the game against the Wiz.

[blink]

well I missed this whole game and am just checking the score now.
Good for fast PP and Hauser for finding their stroke again.  Lordy what a blowout.
good job C's!

Bench players play better at home.

[SHAQATTACK]

I’m worried too close  now
 

[SparzWizard]

Woah I had to rub my eyes, thought I was seeing things.

Celtics up by 50 against the Pacers?!

[celticinorlando]

Like the mentality of this team.

[Silas]

Much more professional.

We’ve long-since killed and are now making a little fort out of the leftover bones.
