Joe needs to find ways to free up JT. Neismith is gonna hound him all series long.

They will have to figure it out in the frontcourt. Kornet awful. Horford old. Either try Queta for a few minutes or go to Brisett, or play really small. We won’t get lucky all the time

I actually don’t hate the idea of Tatum playing the small ball five in the series. Turner is soft as Charmin.

We stole their soul.

I'm curious as to how Indy responds to this loss. Is it a demoralizing loss, or do they believe they can play toe to toe with Boston.

Definitely a tough pill to swallow for Indy but I'd feel pretty good about it.  Boston could have played much better, but Indy could have also.  They shot the ball very well, but the turnovers did them in.

JB was cool all night.

Indy will fight just as hard in G2.  C’s were dull most of the game. DW will will play a lot better in G2.  Horford needs rest.  Hit a clutch three, but also missed a couple wide open looks.

I will say that Joe has done a decent job of making adjustments between games, and I think we have a ton to clean up defensively. Hopefully after having a game under our belt we can do just that and not give up so many open shots off miscommunications.

[bello_man09]

Can Brisett get some mins, we need more defense out there, they are attacking AL.

[Larry for 3]

I will say that FT disparity is insane lol

But the C’s have been on the opposite side of that spectrum many times too so whatever

Indiana shot 53%. Have to play way better defense

[kraidstar]

Don't let us up off the mat Indiana

oh heck here we go

Holiday also seems capable which is crazy but he’s effective there at times

If he's not going to try X, I would try going small - at least for a few minutes. Problem is these guys crash the offensive boards so playing small isn't ideal.

WE NEED KP sooooooooooooooooooooon

[Neurotic Guy]

It isn’t insignificant that Cs are 9-2 in the playoffs.  They need to be better, but they’re doing pretty well.
