Pacers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 5/21/24

[celticinorlando]

Yep. Every ECF game 1s the Celtics have played in the last few season wrapped into one tonight

Fire Joe at halftime. We'd do better with a trash can out there who's actually watching the game and not handicapping us with awful, mismatched rotations.

We might be better off just playing small and taking out Kornet. He's absolutely screwing us out there

[Who]

I keep thinking Boston have the Pacers down and they are about to put the game out of reach. Then Indy make a comeback and get close again.

They do not get the lead though. Always behind.

[celticinorlando]

We are too slow on defense.

Combine that with playing with zero effort spells trouble

[blink]

Nesmith showing a bit of ‘tude to Tatum there haha

[radiohead]

Where’s the delay of game by Neismith? Brothers was in front of that!

[Who]

We might be better off just playing small and taking out Kornet. He's absolutely screwing us out there

Agreed. Brissett. Have him defend M Turner at the three point line. Tillman will be good when he returns.

Kornet should be used against I Jackson. Never M Turner.

Up 10 when Kornet comes in

He exits and they are tied.

Kornet cannot play in this series

Joe needs to unglue some energy guys from our bench. He's just stubborn.

[jpotter33]

Man Indiana can't miss

Well, when you're giving them wide open shots because we're playing a dinosaur who can't close out on his shooter, which either leads to him getting open shots or us having to adjust with help defense leading to other open shooters, that's what happens. It's freaking ridiculous.

[JohnBoy65]

lack of fast in game adjustments is gonna cost us

There are not many adjustments to be made. Our defenders are closing out of control. It’s a simple up fakeand then Indiana gets a wide open 3. This has nothing to do with Joe.

Celtics in 7

[blink]

lets get some stops please!

[tenn_smoothie]

Why is it that every player on the Celtics can pass to the open man off the dribble, but Tatum and Brown, who keep insisting on forcing their bad iso offense ? I suppose they think they are the two stars and thus, have the green light to play dumbass basketball. Obviously, Joe does nothing to discourage them.
