Quote from: celticinorlando on May 23, 2024, 11:23:50 PMCleveland hadn’t lost at home in the playoffs either and Cleveland had a really good home crowd. About the same as Indiana And there are a lot of Celtics fans that will be there in IndianaFeels like this would be a 7 game series where the home team wins all their games. Pacers can score. But if Haliburton is out then that would be a disaster for them.But Boston once again getting the bad rap with beating injured teams again sigh

I think we should give Brissett more of Haauser's minutes. Hauser can't hit a shot. He had at least 3 open looks.

He needs to play through his shooting woes as long it's not a detriment to the team.Brissett, Tillman and even Queta need more minutes.Having said that, I 100% agree about Hauser. Give him consistent minutes - that is how he finally became an asset during the regular season.He will get his shot back, hopefully along with Tatum.
If I were a pacer fan or even a player, I be upset that Carlisle took out all his starters with 7 minutes to go especially with Siakim going off
I know it’s a small sample size so far, but I’m willing to bet that this Oshae Brissett thing will continue to work. But it took an injury for Joe to even give him a chance. It might be proof that Mazzulla has no idea what he’s doing in terms of rotations.
Does anyone know what has gotten into KOC lately? Although, I’ve disagreed with him on stuff, I’ve found him to be pretty reasonable. However, lately he’s been on the “try hard hot take train” and acting whiny. It’s kinda cringy.

After the game, Holiday was asked about Oshae’s performance and he pointed out that Oshae might have extra motivation against his former team. At the very least, he has practiced with those guys and knows their tendencies and weaknesses. The lineup with JT at the 5 and Oshae at the 4 worked really well against Indy.

The lineup with JT at the 5 and Oshae at the 4 worked really well against Indy.It is a small sample size and it is also the first time that IND has seen him in the mix. You can recall from the CLE series, that the first game after Porzingis was injured, and Kornet got more minutes, Kornet looked pretty good. But as the series progressed, CLE was able to figure out ways to exploit Kornet. The same will happen with Brissett.That said, I am all for playing Brissett. He seems to match up better against IND. He is more suited to the pace. And it gives IND some different looks they have to prepare for.

I find it hard to listen to him or read his stuff.I don't know if you're speaking in terms of his takes on the Celtics or just basketball in general. On the Celtics I've wondered if he makes an effort to be more critical of the Celtics since he works for Bill Simmons whose whole thing is being a Boston superfan. Maybe doesn't want to seem like he's a puppet for his boss.
