Thing is with a hamstring that has already been injured once this season I don’t think it’s going to heal fast enough for haliburton to get back Monday or even Wednesday

Per Woj:

Haliburton is out for Game 3 and will be reassessed ahead of Game 4 on Monday — but his availability for that game also remains in serious question, sources tell ESPN. Pacers will err on side of caution with their franchise star.

Ah trap game. This is where the C's get into a habit of relaxation.

Yup , this is the exact sleeping pill Celtics need to fall into their normal trap . Play down to them and lethargic . Get their butts kicked good by eager scrubs off the bench . We ve seen it too many time. Coach needs to talk with them .

[celticinorlando]

They made it through the cavs without Mitchell.
I have hope they don’t mess it up tonight

They won the trap game against Cleveland without Mitchell.  They will win tonight as well.  The Pacers are still a good team without Haliburton.  They had a winning record without him.  I don't think they will take this team lightly and I expect Indy to come out guns blazing.  If the C's can withstand their first run they will win by 15.

With Holliday, if he can go, make him play. Since it's an illness he's not risking further injury. We can't take things for granted, this is the conference finals, we need to shut the door on the Pacers while we can.

[celticinorlando]

Tonight is pretty much the series. Win and its over. Lose and its a series.

Yup. If Pacers win Game 3 then they're winning Game 4. If Celtics win, then this series ends in Game 4 or back in Boston.

Jrue holiday availability makes me nervous

Yep. Need all hands on deck for this push

Well depending on what the illness is, you can get sicker. But the other thing is contagion. Don’t want the whole team sick for G4. Or maybe he gets Indy sick.

Jrue still listed as questionable on the latest report just now.
