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

Our defense went KILLER in that last quarter. Man the blocks. I have to say that Nembhart is unreal and had the game of his life and Mconnel not sure why we cannot cover him better. Nonetheless I am happy but I am a year older after that game.

The Celtics simply imposed their will in that fourth quarter.

[libermaniac]

I really liked that play call by Carlisle. We should incorporate that going forward. Tough shot but open look. Whew.

Down 18, and then down 109-101 with just 2:30 to go and they came back.

Don't let the idiots in the national media fool you, that was an IMPRESSIVE comeback and showed how resilient and even clutch this team is. Not just with scoring, but the timely stops + forcing turnovers.

They didn't get rattled by the bad calls.. In the past it would've taken them out of the game.

Jrue didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, but he made huge plays down the stretch. So glad he’s on the C’s.

Apparently he’s sick and not feeling well yet still had a huge game

Tilman:  +12

Dear Joe:  please pay attention.

Hopefully, Carlisle notices that McDermot was +13 in his 4 mins of play and gets him in the game more

surreal

I want to throw some flowers at Tatum tonight.  Huge difference in his shot quality.  Only a couple of these leaning slop shots or sidestep heaves.  Jumpers were mostly open and on balance.  That's how you get your stroke back.  Got out on the break, attacked the paint, got himself to the line (and missed some but hey, we won).  8 assists, 0 turnovers. 

Thought X gave our defense a lift in the third quarter when we finally decided to try guarding people.  We were hemorrhaging points inside the arc for 30 minutes of this game.  He gave us a little bit more presence inside to put a stick in Indy's spokes for a while. 

Jaylen just keeps doing his thing.  Keep killing, my guy.  They can't stop you.

Jrue was absolutely massive in crunch time.  So nice to have that soul-snatching takeaway happen for us instead of against us, lol. 

Stressful, stressful game - Indy just couldn't miss in the first half - but I give this team a lot of credit for the way they righted the ship in the third.

me and bringtoughness back will be drinking and celebrating well into the night

Nah, the call is coming from inside of the house.
