Got sloppy...

Back-to-back crosscourt passes picked off.

Yeah, gotta player smarter...

[blink]

Oh that was pretty ball movement by Indy.

yup, pacers are going to move without the ball to get guys open, we need to be able to play def the full shot clock.  might need to give someone with fresh legs a def assignment

[SCeltic34]

Things went downhill once White left the game.

if I'm Indy I feel good about that quarter.  Haliburton was relatively quiet and down just 3 after a terrible start.

Pacers move without the ball well on offense - I would love to see what Rick Carlisle could do with this Celtics roster.
Tell me he would not love to come back here as head coach.
I think he would put an end to most of our iso, fade-away offense.

I miss Porzingis

That was sloppy. IDK why Joe didn't call a timeout...all those bad outlet passes causing turnovers. Just play it simple and move down the floor and attack the lane.

[Surferdad]

Scrub toppin is killing us

Picking on Hauser who can’t guard him.

Amen. I hope joe finally goes deeper into the bench...

He’s not leaving that team. We could have had Nurse though

Hauser is a liability on both ends. Hes just unplayable in the playoffs

[Vermont Green]

We all knew IND would come out with energy. And that BOS would have some rust.

thing is Toppin isnt a scrub he is a good player who has been really effective in the playoffs.   we need to guard better

[celticinorlando]

Celtics taking too many unnecessary tough shots

[SparzWizard]

Toppin about to have his Max Strus/Caleb Martin/Duncan Robinson/Gabe Vincent "MJ" series against us...book it.

People were worried he was going to make $15M/yr.

At this point, I'd roll with Brissett for the Luke and Hauser minutes. Dude has tons of energy - just don't let him shoot.
