Celtics (28-7) at Pacers (20-15) Game #36 1/8/24

[Atzar]

Did Porzingis hit Mathurin's arm at end of game? I could not see it on replay.   Refs on review claim he hit his arm.

KP did foul him.  I think they got that call right.  It was the previous call where they overturned contact to Jaylen's head that they screwed up.


Regarding the energy thing, I think we had a gameplan for Indy's offense with Haliburton and we just weren't prepared for what it looked like without him.  Suddenly all of our scouting reports went out the window because Nesmith is making stepbacks and McConnell is actually hunting his shot.  Credit to Indy, honestly.  The Pacers played their asses off without their best guy and just couldn't miss.  Just wish the game had been settled in a different way.

Yeah, it was definitely a foul. There was contact.

The frustrating this is that the refs directly were responsible for the result of the game when they decided to call the JB foul a no-call and then turn around and hand the Pacers the game with the foul call on Porzingis. 

IMO, call both or call neither.

Oh well, it's on to the T-Wolves.

See what I'm saying! 🤦🏾‍♂️. JB clearly got hit in the back of the head. They reviewed the play, just to reverse it and say he didn't. MAN WHAT!! Good ass game to have an ending like that. And yall see why I be going 🦍 💩 out there when it happens

Even Lebron going in on this now. Will be interesting to see what happens with this, especially with influential players and NBPA Vice Presidents raising concerns about this.

Don’t think it’s as simple as confirming it with the L2M report now.

Ha, knew LeBron was going to say something, he's still mad about his shot not being ruled a 3 from last week.

That one was the correct call though.

It was certainly a close call. I think if they would’ve initially called it a three it would’ve stood.

2 minute report out yet?

There would've been no time left on the clock if they didn't call the foul. The refs totally sealed this game. The whole legal gambling thing makes it seem even worse.

We have KP. Drue, and D white, for Jb to be going one on 3.

Except Joe is on record (the JJ Redick podcast) saying that he thinks the bedt shot available is the one with the ball in the hands of your best player available. So he's never going to draw a play where those other guys shoot.

We have KP. Drue, and D white, for Jb to be going one on 3.

And let's be clear- neither Joe nor JB did anything wrong. JB should have had 2 chances to make 1 free throw for the win, with the Pacers out of timeouts and having to go full court in 3 seconds (and probably not drawing the foul on KP).

I keep refreshing the L2M page but still nothing.

Where's that report?
