I’m glad pivot feet don’t matter any more.

Still time left for the Celtics to win. But they need to play a lot better. Stop turn overs.

Score, stop, score, win.

Sigh. 

[mr. dee]

They deserve to lose. Choke a 19 point lead, bruh.

Awful game for the C's tonight.  Really sloppy.   Not the refs.  C's bad tonight.

Not the refs? They've been sloppy, but the refs have ABSOLUTELY been atrocious and one-sided. 29-16 on fouls and 14-34 on free throws. That's not a problem??

Indiana doesn't deserve to win this game.

They do more than the Celts do.

Nope. Refs carried them the entire game.

Are the refs responsible for the turnovers and bad offensive execution too?

4 calls in a row on Indiana possessions. Its like the refs want to keep teams in the game.

This was the start of the bad reffing. Literally 4 calls in a row on Indiana possessions immediately after a timeout after the Celtics went up 12-0 early in the 1st quarter.

We still had a chance, but you can only overcome so much.

The Pacers played hard. I give them credit, but the W goes to the refs for this one.

[Neurotic Guy]

Pacers running away with it.  Bad loss.

This game has been a joke. These officials don't deserve to work for the NBA after this performance.

Absolutely livid

Refs played a role but they let them play in the 4th. Cs no one to blame but themselves.

Disagree, it was the result of both. No calls on Boston caused them to turn it over more, and then Indy got fouls called when a Celtic looked at them wrong. Pathetic game

[kraidstar]

Indiana doesn't deserve to win this game.

They do more than the Celts do.

The refs spotted them like literally 20 points. And the refs crushed our momentum. If the officiating had slanted this badly in our favor we would have won by 40.

Send Kyrie back to Cleveland

Refs were real awful but Celtics blew this one too.  So many awful turnovers and bad hero basketball at the end now when it counts.

[esel1000]

Lol of course the refs need to call a foul there

[jambr380]

Thank You Kyrie Irving for single-handedly losing this game for us.

The 38-footer off one leg wasn't bad enough, now he l;oses it out of bounds.

Yeah, horrible down the stretch. I get that the Rozier pass wasn't great, but how could nobody get open?

[slamtheking]

The 38-footer off one leg wasn't bad enough, now he l;oses it out of bounds.

To be fair, there were plenty others who played a bigger part in losing this game

Send Kyrie back to Cleveland
