Celtics (3-0) at Pacers (0-3) ECF Game #4 5/27/24

I’m not sure Boston wins these games last year

They’re definitely maturing in front of our eyes.

I also think Jrue has had a HUGE influence.

He really has made some high BBIQ plays in some major moments, and has generally had a calm demeanor in those moments. I think this is the perfect situation for him where he doesn't have to try to do too much as a #2 scorer like in Milwaukee. Instead he gets to focus on making those glue plays while Tatum Brown etc go to work.

Veteran leaderships from Horford and Jrue helped a lot.

I just want the ISO 3-balls to get lost and incorporate 2's instead.

Myles turner took himself out of the game mentally with that stupid shot at JB

Was never the same after that

Turner was garbage most of the series IMO. Just a turnover machine at the worst moments, and not giving them much beyond some basic rim protection. He looked shakier/more rattled than a lot of their young guys.

Not a good performance from one of their best players.

As much as I love him, taking Smart out of the group also had a huge influence in letting Tatum and Brown take the lead. He was like a big brother figure to them and the longest tenured Celtic. He took over games no questions asked and they deferred to him.

Really looking forward to welcoming Kyrie back to Boston with the greeting that he deserves.

DEE WHITE AT THE PODIUM ON NBATV for who wants to watch

JB for 5 votes compared to 4 votes for JT for MVP. That's what I like to see.

So, have I got this right ? The Celts now have to wait 10 days to start the finals ? That is ludicrous.

Don't tell Reddit. If you even bring up the fact that Pritchard was kicked in the face in response to the McConnell non-flagrant, you will booed off stage.

Crazy that he looks like he just got done fighting Buster Douglas

The Jays this ECF:

JB                                        JT

29.8 PPG                             30.3 PPG
5.0 RPG                               10.3 RPG
2.0 SPG                                6.3 APG

Crazy series by these two. While Brown's counting stats aren't up as high, his efficiency was crazy.

Those are both similar to Luka's numbers in the western finals but the media would have you think they're both underachievers
