Celtics took three very dumb threes looking for a kill shot instead of getting to the rim and drawing a foul. Just a stupid team

Play some D and make a run.  See how that works!

Blew some chances to end the period even better.  Game well within range, and they now know the level of intensity necessary.  Let’s GOOOO!
Yup

I can sort of excuse Holiday for being sick, but White + Holiday a combined 2-14. PP and Hauser combined 1-5. Simply need more.

This game is very winnable...

It is. But it's an up hill climb over Marc Davis' dead body...

Nah, C’s got this. If we can have JB or JT on Nembhard, Pacers offense will take a hit. Ofc, can’t account for refs bailing them out but we can’t do anything about that
I hope you’re right but idk how anybody can feel confident about this Cs up till the this point

ALL this effort were giving on defense just to make it 9 and we have no legs to make a shot.

It's infuriating to know that they could have turned the defense up long before this.

It is!  I likes the def push at the end of the quarter.   Keep that up and we have a chance.   Pacers have cooled down a bit with that good def.

As it should be? They’re playing absolute scrubs.

How many more boulders is D White gonna slingshot at the hoop? Where is the bbiq??

Awful shot selection on a crucial possession.
The 2 for 1 possession strategy at the end of quarters is not worth anything if you have to take a bad shot to get it.

Giving up tip to fat ass Doug McDermott sums up this game perfectly

Pacers have had a lot of good fortune. If we play with focus these last 12 minutes we have a good shot here

Game should be about a 4 point lead if Boston doesn’t settle for stupid 3s

Tillman tied the rest of the bench with 2 points. Release Q!

Man, those missed threes. Yes, should have gone to the hoop. But wide open looks and just couldn’t drain em.
