Not good. I guess they would start PP because starting Hauser would be pointless. And if McConnell starts that’s a good match up for PP.

But the bench tonight might be very very thin. Basically Hauser who can’t hit water if he fell out of a boat, Brissett and Tillman who Joe refuses to play.

Might get to the point where Svi plays

There is “real concern” from the Pacers about Tyrese Haliburton’s availability and potential impact the remainder of the Eastern Conference Finals, per @wojespn.

Haliburton will do everything he can to play against the Celtics, but it’s a very likely scenario he will be nowhere close to 100%.

Haliburton’s official status for Game 3 will be known later today before tip-off.

he's done.

celts win tonight with him out and take a stranglehold on the series making the noose around the pacers neck get very tight now.

is kornet back or what? if not joe  blow had best play X more.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

x and brisset better be ready

I don’t feel like PP hurts them if he has to play more tonight. It just hurts the bench that is already very thin.

I just hope Hauser doesn’t get the start tonight. He’s just broken. Can’t make any shots. Getting lost on defense. He’s not a playoff player you can remotely trust.


Kornet prob not play with a sprained wrist

[Phantom255x]

Without Jrue, Tatum and White have to step it up more. I trust Jaylen to have another good game, he's been great this whole postseason.

Regardless, Horford and Hauser are really gonna need to hit some open 3s if they get them, and they definitely will. It's crazy how a guy like Hauser who is automatic in the regular season looks toast right now when some of his attempts are actually wide open.

[celticinorlando]

10 points from Hauser would go a long way. I can’t remember the last time he hit a 3

It’s not the ideal time to hit a slump. I remember there was a stretch in the season when Hauser’s shot was just not falling as well. Hopefully he breaks free. He’s had some big games where he just rains threes

[celticinorlando]

Please keep Myles turner quiet from three. He so soft inside and the 3 is his only weapon

It wasn’t that long ago — Game 5 vs Cleveland.  It only feels like forever because there was a week between series.

Jrue has been the unsung hero this series. Without him, game could get tight esp on defense.

Tatum needs to step it up and attack from the start. Not sleepwalk his way to the 4th quarter. But man, our bench is stretched thin if PP is starting.

[Neurotic Guy]

Get better Jrue.
