Pacers (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) ECF Game 2 5/23/24

[Neurotic Guy]

Terrible last minute - really frustrating.  I agree there is no Tatum so far. But there is a Jaylen and Jrue. No excuse for not taking double-digit lead into the half. That really is disappointing/ frustrating.

Sam Hauser does nothing

White inconsistent

Tatum a no show

this lack of prep falls on joe

he has zero energy like ime had in the locker room

did anybody see him after last game.

instead of team being in tight circle hands in like most teams do they were all sitting in their locker room chairs spread out and joe gave some pathetic speech and walked off

dude is a joke

way too laid back

[Birdman]

If Hauser can't hit an open 3 then play Brissett
....

Agree!!!!! Hauser does nothing else

We blew our chance to go up big once again. Tatum sucks and Siakam is incredible. Why Indy doesn't go to Siakam every time from 15 ft and in is beyond me. He literally doesn't miss. What a trade acquisition for Indy.

[SparzWizard]

Tatum sipped the Ben Simmons koolaid. He looks like Ben Simmons out there.

[j804]

JT didn’t even try to challenge Siakam. That’s at least wice this game where he could have challenged and possibly blocked Pascal. His mind is just not in the game. And yes, his poor offense probably dictates his lazy effort on D.

What are you talking about? JB is one of the few guys playing with a lot of energy and attacking the basket over and over. He might have a couple missed assignments most likely because he’s gassed.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

can we get a new coach at halftime

HE IS NOT PREPPING THIS TEAM

HE IS A FAILURE

[cltc5]

Woj reporting Tatum is nursing a bruised ego.  May not be ready till the end of the 4th

[mobilija]

It’s just so tight…the crowd seems anxious, the lapses of slow intensity defense, uncreative one on one offense. Weird PLAYOFF game!

[liam]

Joe still needs to play more guys...

[coco]

Weak end to the quarter!

All about leadership.
You can expect that when JT is your “best player”.
He is so frustrating to watch.

Nothing is more important than securing this win; and yet he looks like he rather be home playing video games with Duece.
So frustrating 🤨

[Neurotic Guy]

Two open 3’s - hitting  one could have stopped the bleeding late the end of the quarter.  Sam and I think DW?  Dang I wanted Sam to make some noise tonight.

[Roy H.]

What happened?  Celts were up 13, I went to hug my son goodnight, and the lead was down to 6.

[liam]

What does Q have to do to get into a game!

[RMO]

With a couple minutes left I said this can't be six at halftime.

The no timeouts really bug me.  If nothing else it could be just to disrupt the other teams rhythm.  You really notice it against coaches like Kerr and Carlisle.  A team scores six and they call a timeout
