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

Awful transition defense. Not winning a chip giving that up

[jpotter33]

Horford's only played 24 minutes and that's a great thing for all parties. Brissett huge minutes and impact.

Only took a Kornet injury for Joe to finally make the obvious adjustment that everyone has been calling for  Guy is way too dogmatic and stubborn.

[Birdman]

Haliburton did have that hamstring injury

[Phantom255x]

Pacers seemed to mail it in once Hali was ruled out and they fell behind 17. With 7+ mins still to go...

[Birdman]

Got to play brissett over Hauser in the future

Sam Hauser closing the game is not what I had on my bingo card

Indy has shot really well these two games. Have to wonder when they’re gonna go cold

[SCeltic34]

I don't understand why Hauser is getting so much flak.  His 3-pointer isn't falling tonight but he's been playing well in all other aspects.

And that came from the coach.  He pulled all of his starters except Nembhard with about eight minutes left.  Strange decision.

we need to get Sam uncorked from his shooting slump.  gotta keep letting it fly if you are open.

Carlisle was good in game 1 IMO.  Horrible this game.

This is true. Solid D. But I do wish he hit those good looks.

[jambr380]

"Left leg soreness" for Haliburton.

Excuses.  I can hear them from the media and from Indiana's fans.

I don't think they can use that as an excuse this game. We had a 13 point lead going into the 4th, it's not like we made a killer comeback after Haliburton went out.

But you're right, you'll hear all about that from Indy fans and everyone else

I feel Joe is trying to get him going with the main guys.
