bird should play over nader...

Larry!

Sue??

LOL. Sue would be a better option than Nader

[Neurotic Guy]

Love Marcus not taking that.  Good feed -- great finish Tatum.

This is the first time all season I've felt the C's are getting whipped. This Pacer is coached up. Will have to play well to win this.

 

Missing shots makes the game look lopsided. They aren't out-playing us. Our rookies are missing wide open outside shots and their veterans are hitting tough contested shots.

Its a miss or make league.

They are making the C's work on defense. Not many teams have done that so far this season.

[PAOBoston]

Feels like they are down by 20 pts but they are only down 9. Somehow.

Don't let your eyes deceive you. They are active because we are missing shots.

We are missing wide open shots and that energizes them. That doesn't mean they are whipping us.

Got away with the travel but I'll take it.

Brad is one of best coaches in Leauge and has his reasons, but when your this shorthanded it's ok to play starters more minutes. The lineup he had out there should of been illegal.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Second night of a back to back too.

Understand,but the starters played a lot less minutes  last night bc of the blowout.  Was just saying at least two of Irving, Horford, Tatum or Smart should be on the floor at all times if want to have a legit chance.

Nice to get the star calls and non-calls every now and then.

Even a 60 win Team will lose 22....

Win or lose tonight Celtics are the better Team...

It's ok to give the other team credit. The defense was the bigger problem in that half.

looks like we forgot how to rebound as well.  5 off boards for the pacers in the first half...I know they aren't missing a lot, so less boards to have, but still.  Have we gotten out-rebounded all year?

Not many times. Miami was one of those games.

Also, it's quite possible that Indy are legit playoff contenders... they go up a gear with Oladipo too.

There was a Cblogger who was in love with Sabonis pre-draft. I remember at the time thinking that he was awful, but I now see it now.

We need the aggressive Al more than ever.

I was one of those people. Thought I was wrong during his OKC stint but I think that more to do with their system more than anything.
