Btw - a pet peeve I have is when they call a series in which we play at home vs a team and then away v the same team a Home and Home.  NO!  That's a Home and Away.  What we are seeing on Friday and today is a Home and Home.

Correct, I misspoke earlier.

How dare you!

Siakam legit looks like a true center out there with his size. Dang.

Also it's kinda funny seeing a yellow jersey with "Bryant" on the back 

[Phantom255x]

Lol what are these refs doing??

[SCeltic34]

I don't understand the double big lineup here with Queta.

[blink]

I hadn't seen your post.  But even though what you prefer is a home and away, the announcers always call that a home and home.

[SCeltic34]

Only two of our players came to play today.

[blink]

we need to play better defense.  Indy is executing really well on offense, we need to raise our level on d.

[celticinorlando]

Soon to be in third place in the east.

Playing with zero intensity and no defense. Still the same old lazy Celtics we have seen for a month.

[Phantom255x]

Yeah this is the Pacers team that worried me and gave us fits last year. Fast-paced offense where almost all their players are also just automatic from the mid-range.

25-42 shooting, WOW.

Yeah that is likely how I heard the phrase.

Simply have to play harder and more engaged defensively.

Talking to you, Jayson Tatum. What a crap half from him.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics have played very little defense all season. Simply if the 3s don't go in they don't defend.

Pacers aren't doing anything fancy. They are getting warm up jump shots

-Tatum, Al both were putrid in that half.
-Nothing out of 88 or 27

[Phantom255x]

Tatum 5 points, 1-8 shooting and 0-6 from 3.

Luckily PP carried us and helped Jaylen otherwise we'd easily be down 20+

Game's still winnable
