Celtics (2-0) at Pacers (0-2) ECF Game #3 5/25/24

That was a massive run at the end, even despite Nembhard's 3.

Am I crazy to think this game is still winnable??

NOPE! TOLD YOU ALL

Tbh - everyone who thought the Cs don’t have heart or mental toughness. Sorry:

YOU WERE WRONG!!!!

I am munching on a large plate of crow and it’s never tasted better.

HELL YES!

this team now finds ways to win

Tatum had a monster game… 36/10/8 and shot 50% from the field.

Told people to not turn off. Great win. Defense wins championships.

Yup.  I don't know why people were giving up at halftime.  That was a terrible performance but we were only down 12.  It's a 48 minute game.  You'd think people who watch enough basketball know that blown leads happen all the time.

Considering we ourselves have given up 30 point leads you can never give up in today’s NBA…teams go on runs. It’s who is leading at the end of the game thst matters 

[SCeltic34]

Our bench: 4 points

Our starters: 110 points.

And we still won.  Is that an NBA record for lowest bench points in a win in a playoff game?

[Roy H.]

Thst non clear path call from Marc Davis should be investigated though that was clearly Davis not wanting to be blamed for giving the game to the Cs, it was CLEARLY clear path!

Yeah, you could tell they were trying to come up with reasoning to call it a common foul.  Punishing an offensive player for trying to preserve a fast break and avoid a foul defeats the purpose of the rule.

That was way closer than it needed to be.

Nope. I was confident as well. WHOOOP!

1 WIN FROM FINALS MEN!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wooooooooooo

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They can't keep us down, Lep.

THEY CAN'T KEEP US DOWN

Horford was absolutely massive today. MASSIVE. Love to see it!

That behind the back pass to Big Al for the wide open three was huuuge!!

In a way winning a game in this way after coming back from such a big deficit not playing well feels better than leading wire to wire and never being challenged - because it’s having to overcome adversity, hostile crowd, someone on the other team having a career game, biased refs…THEY OVERCAME IT ALL

[SCeltic34]

Here's the funny contradicting narrative the national media is going to have.

"The Pacers are such a resilient, tough team.  Keep battling every game."

"The Celtics haven't been tested yet."

Please.  The year Golden State beat us in the Finals they weren't tested in the West either.  They had an easy path.  Then they beat us 4-2.
